What this job asks for AI summary
A founding-level technical leadership role at a Bitcoin-focused media and events company, responsible for designing and building the company's data platform from the ground up — covering warehouse infrastructure, ingestion pipelines, identity resolution, and a unified data model. The role also spans consumer app data architecture, engineering team hiring and culture, and compliance readiness. It suits a hands-on senior engineer who has personally shipped revenue-generating data products and grown into leadership.

Why we read it this way (10)
This is a CTO role — the primary day-to-day work spans both hands-on data platform architecture and people/org leadership, making it a genuine hybrid of 11-3021 (CIS Managers) and 15-1243 (Database Architects). 11-3021 is chosen because the posting explicitly frames this as a C-suite leadership hire with direct reports, hiring authority, and org-wide standards ownership; the hands-on architecture work is a strong secondary signal.
The role is fully remote ('Remote First / Your Schedule') with no office location specified; no CBSA can be determined.
The title 'Chief Technology Officer' carries no standard seniority level word, so the title states no level. However, the scope — org-wide technical authority, reporting to CEO, first engineering hire — clearly supports Principal.
BigQuery and Snowflake are listed as interchangeable options ('BigQuery or Snowflake') within the required qualifications; similarly Fivetran and Airbyte, and Airflow and Dagster are paired as alternatives.
Looker, Hex, and Metabase are listed together as BI layer options in the required qualifications block; Looker is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives.
SOC 2, GDPR, consent tiering, and right-to-erasure are explicitly required ('from day one'), not merely preferred.
Identity resolution is called out explicitly as a required platform capability in the architecture section.
AI-native experience, consumer mobile, MCP, x402, and Lightning/Bitcoin stack are listed under 'Strongly preferred' — treated as preferred accordingly.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
The posting requires at least 3 years as the senior-most technical leader at a startup or similar company, nested within the 10+ years overall requirement; the overall years minimum is set to 10 (the overall floor).
