Job Description

Description

Founding CTO Opportunity – Climate Tech Startup – Post-Seed – Berlin – Competitive Salary + Equity

We’re partnering with a fast-moving
Climate Tech startup
on a mission to build solutions that address the most urgent challenge of our time the climate crisis. Backed by respected climate-focused investors and fresh off a successful seed round, we’re now looking for a
CTO
to lead technology and product innovation as we move into our next phase of development.

This is a rare opportunity to join at a foundational stage and shape the technical direction, team culture, and long-term impact of a company with climate at its core.

What You’ll Do

  • Own and define the
    technical vision, architecture, and execution roadmap
    across all product initiatives.
  • Work closely with the CEO and founding team to align technology with business and climate impact goals.
  • Build and scale the
    engineering team
    , starting with key hires and evolving into a high-performing technical org.
  • Establish core engineering processes including development, testing, security, deployment, and iteration cycles.
  • Lead the development of our first commercial product — from MVP to production and beyond.
  • Collaborate with data scientists, hardware teams (if applicable), or domain experts to integrate cutting-edge climate technologies.
  • Foster a culture of
    sustainability-focused innovation, technical excellence, and purpose-driven problem solving
    .

What You’ll Bring

  • Proven experience as a senior engineering leader or technical co-founder — ideally in early-stage startups or mission-driven environments.
  • Strong technical breadth in full-stack or systems development, with deep understanding of scalable architecture and infrastructure.
  • Bonus if you have experience with
    IoT, geospatial data, energy systems, hardware integration, or climate modeling tools
    — though not required.
  • Ability to make sound
    build vs. buy
    and architectural decisions in high-ambiguity, fast-moving environments.
  • Passion for solving real-world problems through technology — ideally with a strong personal connection to climate or sustainability.
  • Natural leadership instincts — able to
    recruit, mentor, and inspire
    talented engineers and interdisciplinary teams.
  • Strong communicator who can collaborate across product, business, investors, and mission stakeholders.

What’s on Offer

  • Founding-level role with significant ownership — both in
    equity and in impact
    .
  • Competitive salary + meaningful equity package.
  • Flexible, remote-friendly culture — Berlin HQ with hybrid options across EU time zones.
  • A mission-driven company backed by top climate VCs and advisors with deep sector knowledge.
  • The chance to work on
    technology that can drive measurable climate impact
    , not just incremental change.
  • Early influence over company culture, product roadmap, and technology choices.

If you’re an engineering leader excited by the opportunity to build and scale this business whilst having a positive impact, please apply
