Chief Technology Officer (CTO)

We are building a Digital Concierge Platform for 2–4 star hotels that transforms every hotel room into a digital sales channel for local services. Guests discover and book experiences, wellness, dining, and more via a simple QR code—while hotels unlock new revenue streams without additional operational effort. The founding team consists of two experienced and successful entrepreneurs with a strong track record in building and scaling companies. Our next step: build the MVP → launch pilot hotels and partners → raise seed funding. Your Role As CTO, you are a technical co-founder responsible for building the entire platform—from architecture to launch. You will work directly with the founders and have full ownership of the product and tech vision.
