Chief Technology Officer

We’re Building the Future of Capital Markets; enabling entrepreneurship, job creation, financial inclusion, and economic resilience

As Asia's largest licensed digital securities exchange for alternative investments, Alta is at the forefront of building critical capital market infrastructure. We believe that access to capital markets are pivotal in all economies, we recognize that our role in building this critical infrastructure goes beyond facilitating trades; it paves the way for entrepreneurship, job creation, financial inclusion, and economic resilience, fostering a brighter future for emerging markets and economies.

Empowering Private Markets:
Through our Digital Exchange, we enable the tokenization and digital custody of alternative assets. This end-to-end solution simplifies and expedites the trading of smaller asset blocks, ultimately facilitating access and liquidity in private markets.

Innovative Financial Ecosystem:
Our journey has seen us transition from securities trading and distribution of comprehensive products, including equities, private credit, funds, and asset-backed securities (“ABS”) (representing Real World Assets ("RWA") like whiskies, wines, art, watches, and real estate) to include fund management and digital custody services.

As the only integrated securities exchange, brokerage, and fund management group with the necessary regulatory licenses and a proven track record in Southeast Asia, we are actively exploring new channels and partnerships to extend our impact to entrepreneurs and investors globally.

Established in 2016 and headquartered in Singapore, Alta operates offices globally. We welcome energetic and creative individuals to be part of this ambitious journey with us.

Alta is Southeast Asia’s largest marketplace for alternative assets. Through our network of licensed member firms, we provide over one million investors with access to a broad range of asset classes including private equity, private debt, real estate, and luxury assets.

But we’re more than an exchange or a brokerage. At our core, Alta is a technology company at the forefront of asset digitisation—building the foundation for a more liquid, accessible, and interoperable global private markets ecosystem.

Our technology teams power our Private Market as a Service (PMaaS) platform, a modular, digital-first infrastructure offering end-to-end services for private-market trading, dealing, exchange, issuance, custody, and fund management.

PMaaS is designed for global scalability, supporting clients ranging from boutique brokerages to major investment banks. It offers extensive white-label capabilities and can integrate with a wide range of third-party vendors, blockchains, and digital-asset standards. Security, privacy, and regulatory compliance are fundamental to our architecture.

As we enter the next phase of scale, we are seeking an ambitious, strategically minded Chief Technology/Product Officer to lead our Engineering, Product, QA, and Data teams, while serving as a key member of the senior management team. This role requires deep technical acumen, strong commercial instincts, and the ability to build a world-class technology organisation across multiple regions.
