What are the responsibilities and job description for the CTO- Chief Technology Officer LendingWise Broker Better. Lend Smarter position at Lendingwise?
Job Title : Chief Technology Officer (CTO)
Location : Remote or Hybrid (Miami, Fl)
Employment Type : Full-Time
Who We Are
We are a profitable, fast-growing B2B SaaS platform powering lenders, brokers, and small financial institutions nationwide. Our platform supports the entire lending lifecycle across private mortgages (bridge, fix-and-flip, DSCR), CRE lending, SBA, merchant cash advances, and more. We have a strong brand, a growing roster of clients like CV3, Cross River Bank, and a dedicated team of 5 person dev team and 2 product owners committed to solving complex challenges in the lending space.
Despite our substantial growth and loyal customer base, we remain entirely self-funded (no VC or private equity). This allows us to chart our own course and maintain flexibility in building out our ambitious product roadmap. Our vision is to continually modernize our platform, stay on the cutting edge of lending technology & integrations, and prime ourselves for a future raise and / or exit—an upside our new CTO will be strongly incentivized to share in.
Why This Role Is Exciting
- Impactful Industry : As a key executive, you will help shape the next generation of lending software in an industry ripe for innovation.
- Equity Participation : We offer an aggressive equity pool for the right candidate. You’ll have a front-row seat to future valuation events (fundraising or exit) that could greatly amplify your stake.
- Proven Platform & Growth : We have a strong brand reputation with consistent ARR, significant revenue from 250 customers, and a substantial future pipeline.
- Team & Culture : Join a lean, highly motivated core team of 5 developers, 2 testers, and 2 product owners. We value collaboration, innovation, and accountability.
- Full Control & Ownership : With no VC or PE involvement, your technical roadmap will have real influence—this is your chance to shape the entire product suite and technology vision.
