Chief Technology Officer (CTO)
Job Summary
Key Responsibilities
Define and execute Betopia Limited's technology roadmap in direct partnership with the CEO.
Serve as the technical authority in client engagements led commercially by the CBO and sales organization - architecture credibility, not deal ownership.
Lead technology due diligence for partnerships and potential acquisitions.
Build relationships with hyperscaler technical teams (AWS, Azure, GCP) at the architecture and co-engineering level.
Establish engineering governance and architecture standards across all business wings.
- Own execution across: Software Engineering, AI/ML, Cloud & GPU Infrastructure, DevOps, Enterprise Architecture, Cybersecurity, Data Engineering, QA, and R&D.
Lead the AI/GPU infrastructure team (multi-model architecture: DeepSeek, Llama, Qwen) supporting delivery across the business.
Build modern, cloud-native, compliance-grade platforms from day one.
Establish CI/CD, DevSecOps, and observability standards.
Close ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certification gaps - currently blocking enterprise deal cycles.
Establish a scoped roadmap for HIPAA and GDPR readiness tied to active pipeline requirements.
Deliver a technical architecture assessment across all four business wings (Local Sales delivery, OEM/SI, Cloud & Data Center, Cybersecurity).
Drive AI-native product development; own build-vs-buy-vs-partner decisions.
Develop proprietary platforms and reusable IP targeting 20–30% of Betopia Limited revenue.
- Build and scale the engineering organization in step with Betopia Limited's growth trajectory.
Recruit and retain senior technical talent; build succession pipelines.
Experience Requirement
15+ years of progressive engineering/technology leadership experience.
5+ years as CTO, VP Engineering, or Chief Architect at a $100M+ revenue or 1,000+ employee technology/services organization - scale experience is non-negotiable given Betopia's growth trajectory.
Demonstrated success taking an organization through SOC 2/ISO 27001 certification from scratch.
Proven AI/ML platform build experience - not adoption or integration alone.
Track record executing a CEO's technology vision as a peer executive, not building an independent one - this role requires strong alignment discipline within an executive team.
Experience with international enterprise clients (U.S./EU preferred).
Key Competencies
ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certification achieved within the first 2 quarters.
Platform/IP revenue: 20-30% of Betopia Limited revenue within 36 months.
99.9%+ platform availability.
Engineering deployment frequency and quality metrics.
Zero critical security incidents; measurable cybersecurity maturity improvement.
Engineering talent retention rate.
SOC 2/ISO 27001 certified; HIPAA/GDPR roadmap active.
AI-native platform strategy launched with measurable revenue contribution.
Engineering organization scaled with clear architecture governance across all four business wings.
Zero scope conflicts with commercial leadership - clean technical/commercial boundary in practice, not just on paper.
