We are seeking a forward-thinking Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to join our Executive Leadership Team and drive the company's hardware and technology strategy. In this role, you will oversee the development, deployment, and support of innovative hardware-based solutions that elevate the hospitality experience-and increasingly, the healthcare and multifamily living experience.
Beyond technical mastery, you must be comfortable speaking to audiences-from all-company meetings to industry conventions and potentially trade shows.

The ideal candidate is both a futurist and a technologist, adept at foreseeing and navigating industry shifts, new device protocols, and emerging technologies long before they disrupt our field. As CTO, you will lead the direction of our RF, IP, IoT, and AI technology solutions, ensuring that our infrastructure remains reliable, scalable, and secure. A strong understanding of common device languages, connectivity protocols, and technology stacks is crucial. You'll also bring deep experience in hardware engineering and system integration, especially where networking, access control, energy management, and smart building ecosystems converge.
