Our mission is to multiply the engineering power of the built world. Storm is the #1 data capture agent for the front line of the built world - converting audio, photos and videos into clean structured records. With conversational support in-app and across SMS, Whatsapp and phone calls, Storm is shifting front line workers from paperwork and clunky digital forms, to natural language and multi-channel data capture. Our core platforms are Dashpivot (safety, quality and field reporting), Gearbelt (fleet and asset management), Flowsite (no-code integrations), and the Sitemate mobile app for every worker on site. We have strong product-market fit, generating thousands of new leads per month through word of mouth and organic channels. We are backed by Blackbird, with 200 people across 18+ countries and entities in Australia, the UK, the US and Canada. ### 🚀 Why this role exists now Sitemate’s product stack has evolved for the AI era - broken down into Platform, SaaS and Agent. The question in front of us is no longer what we can build - it is how fast and how safely our delivery system turns what engineers and agents produce into shipped, trusted outcomes for customers. This role owns that system, and the people who run it. ### 📝 The role Sitemate's CTO owns technical direction and engineering execution across the business and is a member of the executive team. This is a hands-on, builder-first executive role - you build systems that enable engineers to bring the company’s technology strategy to life. You ship alongside your team, and set the technical bar through your own work. At Sitemate, managers are player-coaches at every level up to and including the C-suite; time on the tools sharpens the bar you hold, it does not replace the leadership work. ### 🎯 What you own At Sitemate the C-suite sets the company agenda and defines how we operate in their domain. For the CTO seat that means: The engineering delivery system. Global Platform, EPD Ops, release engineering, QA infrastructure, security posture and engineering tooling The engineering organisation. Org design, engineering career tracks and levels, compensation architecture within the company framework, and the hiring bar The engineering operating cadence. Quarterly initiative planning for engineering, the breakdown standard beneath it, and the scoreboard that proves work moved a baseline ### 🤝 Who you work with CEO. Your manager and your executive peer Chief Product Officer. Your closest partner. Product owns what we build and why; you own how it gets built, how fast, and to what standard. You underpin the EPD roadmap, quarterly planning and the product-team structure Staff Engineers and Tech Leads. The layer you build out and lead through. Staff Engineers carry technical direction across products; Tech Leads carry it inside each product team. You develop them, hold them to a bar, and delegate technical review to them as they grow Engineering function leads (Global Platform, EPD Ops). Your direct reports for the shared platform and the delivery system Operations. Your partners on org design, levelling, compensation and hiring GTM and Marketing leadership. You keep engineering close to customers and revenue, and you show up in front of customers when it matters ### ⚡ What needs to happen --- Data: alder (https://alderhq.app).
