Founding CTO (Product + Engineering)
Sage Haus | Remote | Full-time
About Sage Haus
Sage Haus is building the future of household support, helping families find trusted help and empowering household professionals with the tools and systems to succeed. We’ve reached product-market fit and are scaling quickly. Now we’re investing in technology to improve the experience for both sides of the market and to increase operational efficiency as we grow.
The Opportunity
We’re hiring a Founding CTO who combines product thinking + technical execution. This role is for a hands-on builder who can assess what’s happening in the business today, form strong opinions on what to build next, and ship an initial product quickly, then iterate based on real customer feedback and real workflow needs.
This is not a “take requirements and build tickets” role. It’s a “learn the business, prioritize the highest-leverage problems, build the right solution, and iterate fast” role.
What you’ll own
1) Product + Technical Direction (Deciding what to build)
- Partner closely with the CEO and leadership team to define the technical roadmap.
- Focus on solving the most important problems we have today, staying grounded in customer needs and business priorities (and resisting distractions).
- Translate business goals into clear product outcomes, tradeoffs, and sequencing.
2) Build and ship (Hands-on)
- Serve as the hands-on owner of our early technical platform from architecture decisions to implementation.
- Ship an MVP quickly, then improve it through iteration and learning.
- Establish engineering standards that enable speed with reliability (testing, deployment, performance, security).
3) Customer feedback loops + workflow immersion
- Spend time with the team and customers to understand workflows end-to-end.
- Gather structured feedback from both sides of the marketplace and turn it into actionable product improvements.
