Job Specifications

CTO – Digital Assets

Build the platform, shape the org, set the roadmap.

We are currently supporting a client in the digital assets space to hire a CTO to own their technology strategy, build-out, and credibility with regulators and capital providers.

Define and maintain technology vision and architecture roadmap.
Align tech priorities with business goals, regulatory demands, and investor milestones.
Lead key “build vs buy” decisions and oversee partner/vendor selection.

Architecture & Platform Oversight

Assess current systems (including a Salesforce-centric core stack) and design a scalable, secure target architecture.
Ensure the platform can support multi-channel growth (D2C, RIA, Family Office, B2B2C).
Own security, data and integration frameworks end-to-end.

Development Team Assessment & Optimisation

Evaluate current team structure, skills and ways of working.
Recommend the go-forward org design (roles, hiring, outsourcing, leadership model).
Raise the bar on delivery speed, code quality and agile practices.

Product & Technology Alignment

Integrate the product roadmap with realistic technology execution.
Prioritise releases and ensure delivery meets commercial and regulatory objectives.

Strategic & Investor Support

Partner with the CEO and leadership team on overall company strategy.
Represent technology in investor meetings and board sessions, giving credible, detailed answers.
Provide technical input for due diligence and fundraising materials.

Security, Risk & Compliance

Review current security posture and define a regulatory-compliant roadmap across UK/US/CH.
Prepare for institutional-grade certifications (e.g. SOC 2, ISO 27001) and audits.

About you

Senior engineering leader (VP/CTO-level) with experience in crypto, digital assets or fintech.
Proven track record building and scaling platforms, not just maintaining them.
Comfortable being hands-on with the codebase and the dev team while also operating at board/investor level.
Deep focus on security, risk, and regulatory readiness in financial services.
Entrepreneurial mindset: comfortable with ambiguity, pace, and building the organisation as well as the product.
