Chief Technology Officer

Odin is building the investment infrastructure for the future of private markets. We believe capital is one of the most powerful tools for shaping the world – and more people should know how to put it to work. Our mission is to make it radically easier to raise and deploy capital, so that anyone, anywhere, can back the companies and ideas they believe in.

Our first product is a full-stack platform for launching and running private investment firms – think Shopify for VC and PE. We handle all the infrastructure: from legal structuring and investor onboarding to KYC/AML, payments, tax, reporting, and exits.

We’re already trusted by over 10,000 angels, VCs, and founders. We administer over $500m in assets, covering investments from pre-seed to series

E. This includes household names like Eleven Labs, OpenAI, Space

X, xAI, Anduril, etc. but also new companies creating everything from synthetic brains to small nuclear reactors.

This is a CTO role for someone entrepreneurial who has already played a meaningful role in building a business and is ready to do it again.

• You’ll be accountable for engineering execution. This is not a strategy role that shapes work from a distance. Your responsibility is to turn priorities into shipped outcomes: to understand what’s being asked, question it until it makes sense, estimate it honestly, and build an engineering system that delivers without surprises.
• You’ll stay close enough to the work to set a credible bar for pace and quality. That means recognising what high performance looks like because you’ve operated at that level yourself, understanding when something is genuinely complex versus unnecessarily slow, and raising standards in a way the team can follow and respect.
• You’ll build a team culture that uses AI as a default way of working to increase output every day.
• Quality matters just as much. Shipping the wrong thing, shipping something with obvious edge cases, or missing basic failure modes is not acceptable to you. When things break, they’re fixed quickly, learned from properly, and prevented from happening again.
• Today, the team is six engineers. You’ll work closely with them, set a bar of expectation, and continue to build the team deliberately as the product grows.

This role is not for someone who wants to manage from a distance, or run an engineering org that needs constant permission to move.

The right person is intense in the best way: action-oriented, curious, direct, and embarrassed by slow delivery. You don’t “disagree and commit” while still confused. You ask questions until it genuinely makes sense, and you expect the same standard from the team.

You’re open-minded without being passive. You care about people, but you don’t avoid tension. You can debate hard problems without ego, change your mind when the reasoning is better, and be clear when it isn’t. You’re honest, easy to work with under pressure, and you raise the bar simply by how you operate.

This role shapes how engineering grows ’ll set the tone for how decisions are made, how trade-offs are handled, how incidents are treated, and how quickly the team moves when something matters. Expectations are clear. Your job is to create the environment that allows people to either rise to the challenge or opt out early.
