Open Positions: Protektr - Chief Technology Officer

11/7/2016

Comments

 
Protektr (www.protektr.co) is developing insurance products to deliver better transparency and protection for investors, platforms, and business people within the alternative finance space. As regulation continues to strengthen in the crowdfunding, crowd investing and p2p lending arenas, we are looking to partner with international governments and insurance providers, to offer better security in this fast growing sector.
 
Protektr is part of the Grow VC group (www.group.growvc.com). Grow VC was established in 2009 and has been a visionary within the crowdfunding industry since. An umbrella group, Grow VC provides a spectrum of services across the crowdfunding industry - providing better protection to crowdfunding investors is the next stage in its evolution.
 
Requirements
 
We are looking for a highly-motivated individual with an excellent understanding of the infrastructure requirements in an early-stage fintech / insurtech startup. This person will be tasked with
  • The end to end technical aspects of the business
    • Defining the required technology needed to support the business
    • Development – being able to do the development work is key given that this is an early stage start-up
    • Maintaining the infrastructure over time, ensuring that the solution is scalable and will not prove a bottleneck to business growth
    • Working closely with the CEO to ensure that the technical strategy remains closely aligned to the business strategy
    • Managing the company website to ensure that the interface with clients and partners is as seamless as possible
 
Important Skills

  • A broad understanding of different coding languages with the ability to do the development work in addition to solely managing it a requirement
  • An ability to communicate technical requirements to a non-technical audience is imperative for this role
  • An ability to work side by side with the CEO to develop out the technical architecture. This is not a role for someone looking to receive a set list of instructions – the CTO needs to be agile and able to adapt as the business model pivots.
  • Experience working with multiple stakeholders to integrate the various components
  • Previous experience working in a start-up in a similar role is preferred but not essential
  • Knowledge of insurance and/or financial product and markets is a plus.
  • Strong entrepreneurial spirit – someone who can see beyond the initial compensation structure to the longer term benefits of working towards something great – expectations of a corporate style salary on day 1 will leave you disappointed!
 
The compensation is agreed based on competence, experience and commitment. This is a key role in the company and candidates must be ready to commit as a founder to the company and participate to work to build the company and business. The business founders are based in London but for the right candidate we would be open to a remote set-up.
