Job description
San Francisco, United States | Posted on 04/08/2026
We’re looking for a CTO who wants to build—not just manage.
This is not a “maintain the system” role. This is a 0 to 1 and 1 to 100 role where you will shape the technical foundation of a rapidly growing fin-tech company.
You’ll work directly with the CEO and leadership team to define how Lenme scales to tens of millions of users. You’ll make key architectural decisions, build systems that don’t break under pressure, and create a culture where engineers move fast and think independently.
We love people who challenge assumptions and bring new, creative ideas to the table. If you’re someone who questions “why” and builds better answers, you’ll fit right in.
What You’ll Do
Own the entire technology stack—from architecture to deployment
Build and scale a world-class engineering team from the ground up
Design systems that are fast, reliable, and can handle massive growth
Work closely with product to ship quickly without compromising quality
Rethink how fintech infrastructure should work (not how it’s always been done)
Introduce new ideas, tools, and approaches that push the product forward
Make high-impact decisions with minimal bureaucracy
Set the technical culture: high ownership, speed, and accountability
Ensure security, compliance, and trust at scale
Requirements
You’ve built and scaled real systems—not just managed teams
You think like a founder and care deeply about outcomes
You move fast and are comfortable with ambiguity
You have strong opinions, loosely held—and you’re not afraid to challenge ideas
You care about product, not just code
You’ve worked on high-growth startups or built something from scratch
You understand fin-tech (or can learn it quickly)
You want to create something meaningful, not just optimize existing systems
You’ll have massive ownership and direct impact on the company’s future.
You’ll help redefine how lending works for millions of people
You’ll work with a small, fast-moving team that actually ships
You’ll be encouraged to experiment, take risks, and bring bold ideas
