We’re now hiring a CTO for Mapon's next growth phase.
This is not a maintenance role. The job is to modernize a mature, business-critical platform, build an engineering organization that scales beyond individual contributors and make technology a stronger driver of customer value and profitable growth.
Reporting to the CEO, you will change how Mapon makes technology decisions, builds software and develops technical leaders.
Build a scalable technology organization that executes Mapon's strategy with speed, quality and commercial discipline, without depending on a few people.
You will lead a 50+ person engineering organization across multiple teams and own Mapon's technology strategy, architecture, engineering effectiveness and platform evolution. You will partner with Product on what we build and why, and own how we build, operate and improve it.
The challenges you’ll tackleA mature, multi-product SaaS platform that must be modernized while customers depend on it every day.
High-volume, near-real-time telemetry from 400,000+ connected devices.
APIs and integrations with customers, partners, vehicle manufacturers and hardware vendors, plus GPS devices, cameras and sensors operating in real-world conditions.
European transport and driving-time rules, where correctness is part of the product.
Private-cloud and on-premises infrastructure that must remain secure, observable, resilient and cost-effective while its future is evaluated pragmatically.
Acquired products, systems and teams that need a clear integration or convergence path, and AI that can transform development and customer value.
What you will ownTechnology strategy and investmentTranslate company strategy into a clear, written technology strategy and investment priorities.
Keep the roadmap dynamic and connected to customer value, revenue, risk and cost rather than treating it as a fixed multi-year plan.

Reliability, security and operationsMake observability, service ownership and operational excellence part of everyday engineering.
Establish meaningful service levels and improve incident response and learning, with security and risk management built into engineering.
Own evidence-based decisions about infrastructure and operational architecture.
AI and dataMake AI-assisted development a normal part of engineering where it improves speed, quality or learning.
Measure AI through cycle time, quality and customer impact, and build the foundations to use Mapon's data responsibly.
Work with Product to validate AI-enabled customer opportunities with a credible path to commercial value.
M&A and executive leadershipLead technology due diligence and post-acquisition technical integration planning.
Decide when acquired products should remain independent, integrate with Mapon or converge over time.
Represent technology to executives, the board, strategic customers and partners with clarity about options, economics and risk.
