At Readpeak, we are redefining the content-driven advertising landscape to empower brands to connect with their audiences and to create value for premium media and journalism. Our mission is to make premium digital native easily available for brands and agencies. We empower brands to drive engaging content-driven campaigns that deliver outstanding engagement with low risk.
Our programmatic self-service platform (DSP) gives brands full control of their storytelling native campaigns in the cookieless world. Through an intuitive UX, we provide access to our pre-curated programmatic inventory, real-time reporting, and optimization tools that drive superior results.
The Role
As Readpeak’s CTO, you will lead the technology vision and drive architectural decision-making. You will lead, build, and grow the development team and the operating models needed to deliver an ambitious product vision – on a tight timeline and in an AI-assisted development environment. You will report directly to the CEO and serve as a member of our executive leadership team.
You will ensure that our technical team remains globally competitive, both in terms of product and ways of working.
Who We Are Looking For
You have grown technology teams and know what it takes – in terms of hiring, team culture, and day-to-day operations. You have hands-on experience developing SaaS platforms and understand what it takes to scale a low-latency, high-traffic product in a cloud environment. Your technical background covers the modern web stack, and you have a deep understanding of how architecture drives scalability.
Leadership style matters equally. You are able to create a clear plan and communicate its progress to both the team and management. You lead through inclusion, not by title, and build a culture where the team has genuine ownership of their work. A background in agile growth companies and experience in international operating environments are clear advantages.
What We Offer
Readpeak is a relaxed yet ambitious work community where decisions are made close to the work and ideas move quickly into practice. Our culture is built on three values: Dare to Challenge, Human to Human, Enjoy the Journey. In addition to competitive compensation, we offer a stock option programme. We work in a hybrid model.
