We are seeking a proven Web3 leader who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. You have experience building from zero to one, leading technical deployments, and managing development teams. This role requires hands-on coding, strategic leadership, and deep expertise in Web3 technologies. While you will manage the team, this is not a pure people-management role—you will be directly involved in development.

Key Requirements:

  • CTO, founding engineer, or lead engineer experience in a Web3 or high-growth tech startup.
  • Proven leadership managing senior development teams using agile methodologies.
  • Hands-on coding experience in Web3 environments.
  • Strong background in architecture and design of scalable protocols and products.
  • Deep familiarity with Web3 ecosystems, including account abstraction and smart accounts.
  • Experience with:
  • Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, React, Solidity
  • Scalable AWS infrastructure design
  • Smart contract development and security best practices
  • Proven ability to align technology, product development, and business strategy.
  • Active participation in the Web3 community (e.g., conferences, hackathons, open-source contributions).
  • Experience working in a remote-first environment with availability in EU/US-East time zones.
  • Your Role
  • As CTO, you will drive innovation and execution, shaping the company’s technical vision and strategy while actively contributing to development.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead and mentor a team of 15+ engineers, fostering a high-performance culture.
  • Oversee production deployments of SDKs, APIs, and smart contracts.
  • Design and own the technical architecture and roadmap.
  • Ensure security, scalability, and performance in product development.
  • Collaborate with leadership to align technology, product, and user needs.
  • Represent the company as a technical thought leader in the Web3 community.

Why work at Key to Web3

  • Culture Highlights: A startup‑style, lean team environment where every member has significant ownership. Emphasis on innovation, technology, and shaping the future of work in emerging industries.
  • Remote/Hybrid Policy: Fully remote‑friendly; the team is distributed across the US and Czechia, and the company actively hires for remote roles globally.
  • Notable Perks: Opportunity to work at the intersection of cutting‑edge technologies, direct mentorship from a founder with deep industry connections, and exposure to high‑growth startups and Fortune 500 clients.
  • Engineering Culture: Recruiters and consultants work closely with technical talent; the agency itself is small and agile, offering a chance to wear multiple hats and directly impact client outcomes.
