Fractional CTO - Scaleup Tech Strategy & Growth Readiness
A growing scaleup is seeking a strategic and technically capable Fractional CTO to guide its technology function through the next phase of growth. This is a hands-on advisory and leadership role, ideal for someone who has scaled platforms before and understands what’s needed to future-proof architecture, teams, and operations in a rapidly evolving product business.
With a strong product-market fit already in place, the company is ready to review its technology strategy, assess current capability, and position the platform and team for national and international growth.
Key Responsibilities:
* Review and refine tech strategy to ensure scalability, resilience, and alignment with commercial goals.
* Assess current systems, technical architecture, and team structure.
* Define a roadmap for product development, cloud infrastructure (AWS), and DevOps maturity.
* Act as a trusted advisor to the CEO and Board on technology risks, investment, and growth readiness.
* Support the hiring and development of internal tech leadership as the company grows.
* Contribute to vendor selection, budgeting, and governance where required.
What We’re Looking For:
* Proven CTO or senior technical leadership experience in startup or scaleup environments.
* Deep understanding of AWS cloud architecture, infrastructure planning, and platform scalability.
* Strategic thinker with the ability to balance hands-on guidance with long-term planning.
* Strong stakeholder engagement skills – able to influence across founders, product, and delivery teams.
* Experience across multiple tech stacks and delivery models a plus.
* Brisbane-based (or willing to travel periodically) with flexible working arrangements.
