THIS ROLE IS UNPAID IN THE BEGINNING

A SaaS fintech startup is looking for a CTO / VP, Engineering to replace the CTO who has decided to leave. This is an equity-only role at the start (no salary until funding or more stable revenue is secured), with the company ownership (standard vesting period of 4 years with a cliff of 1 year) and influence over the company’s future.
