Chief Technology Officer – FinTech Scale-Up | Dublin

Our client is a PE-backed FinTech scale-up in Dublin, gearing up for a major expansion. With a current engineering team of 15 and investment secured to grow to 60+, they are now hiring a

Chief Technology Officer to own the technical vision and build a world-class engineering organisation.

As CTO, you’ll set the technology strategy, elevate engineering standards, and ensure the platform is secure, scalable, and ready for aggressive growth. You’ll partner directly with the CEO and investors, acting as the technical voice at the leadership table and aligning engineering execution with commercial goals.

We’re looking for a proven technology leader who has successfully led teams of 60+ engineers in a high-growth environment—ideally FinTech, regulated tech, or a similarly complex product setting. You’ll bring deep experience across modern architecture, cloud, security, data, and product engineering, alongside a track record of delivering platforms that scale.

A strong talent network in Dublin is essential. You’ll be someone who knows the local market, can attract top-tier engineers, and can build a high-performance culture from the ground up. You’ll introduce structure where needed, without losing the pace, agility, and ownership that define successful scale-ups.

What you’ll lead:

• Technology strategy, architecture, and long-term platform direction
• End-to-end engineering, DevOps, data, and security
• Hiring and scaling an engineering organisation from 15 to 60+
• Best-in-class delivery processes, reliability, and compliance
• A culture of accountability, innovation, and engineering excellence

This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a FinTech with the backing, ambition, and market opportunity to scale fast. If you want to build something exceptional in Dublin—this is it.
