Our client is an innovative deep-tech company building a next-generation privacy and data integrity ecosystem that enables organizations to provably delete data using advanced cryptographic technology. The first product is now being brought to market, transforming cutting-edge cryptographic concepts into a practical B2B solution for companies where data control, compliance, and trust are critical. In parallel, several additional products are already in different stages of development.
This is a rare opportunity for a hands-on CTO to join at a pivotal early stage and work directly with the founders and the chief scientist to define the technical vision, shape the architecture, and lead the transition from research into production-ready products. You will play a key role in building not just a single product, but a broader technology platform that will redefine standards for verifiable data privacy.

• Familiarity with cryptography concepts
• Strong understanding of what a tech product looks like in a B2B space
• Experience with Rust programming language
• Strong technical background with experience in system architecture and product development
• Ability to translate complex technical research into practical, working products
• Strong communication skills and ability to work across technical and non-technical teams, public-speaking skills
• Understanding of the market and every new development
Nice-to-have:
• Experience with Blockchain and ICP
• Background in deep-tech environments
