CTO – Mudita Studios
Driving AI-Native Venture Building Across Our Portfolio
Mudita Studios is an AI-first venture studio that builds, acquires, and scales B2B SaaS companies. We are looking for a CTO to architect, ship, and scale the next generation of AI-enabled products across our portfolio. This role owns technical strategy, system architecture, delivery cadence, and engineering quality across multiple ventures simultaneously.
What You’ll Lead
• End-to-end technical ownership across 6–10 portfolio companies (0→1 builds, rapid prototyping, scale-up hardening).
• Product architecture, core platform decisions, and AI integration strategy (agents, RAG, workflow automation, connectors).
• Roadmapping and prioritization with each venture CEO (wedge, sequencing, MVP scoping, versioning).
• Engineering execution: sprint structure, velocity management, code quality, and release discipline.
• Technical diligence for acquisitions (fractional CFO firms, ops consultancies) and post-acquisition modernization.
• Enterprise-grade implementation patterns for Fortune 500 clients—connecting our portfolio tools into real workflows.
• Stand up a high-leverage engineering organization (internal team + nearshore/offshore pods + contractors).
• Security, compliance, and data architecture for AI systems (SOC2 workflows, PII handling, provenance, observability).
Ideal Background
• 10+ years building and shipping software products; experience as CTO, Head of Engineering, or Principal Architect.
• Strong command of modern AI tooling: OpenAI agents, LLM apps, vector stores, RAG, LangChain/LlamaIndex, n8n/Zapier orchestration.
• Proven ability to build from zero while maintaining enterprise-grade reliability, documentation, and security.
• Experience managing multi-product engineering portfolios or consulting teams delivering across different clients.
• Comfortable switching between hands-on execution and high-level architecture in the same week.
• Bonus: experience in FP&A, workflow automation, consulting tech, or vertical SaaS.
The Person Who Thrives Here
• Operates with urgency and discipline; ships MVPs in weeks, not quarters.
• Loves building systems, templates, and repeatable engineering playbooks.
• Treats AI as a force multiplier—knows how to turn 5 engineers into 25 via tooling and automation.
• Communicates crisply with non-technical founders and can translate business strategy into engineering priorities.
Why This Role Matters
Mudita Studios is building a portfolio of AI-native businesses that each solve deep operational problems in finance, talent, operations, and industry-specific workflows. The CTO defines how these companies are built, how quickly they scale, and how reliably they deliver results to enterprise clients.
Compensation
Competitive base + meaningful equity across the venture portfolio + performance upside.
If you’re excited by multi-company technical leadership, rapid 0→1 product cycles, and building an AI-powered studio that ships at Fortune-500 quality, we’d love to talk.
