Our client is an ambitious early-stage startup, aiming to revolutionise the home finance industry by integrating open banking and smart home data to drive meaningful change. Our vision is to enable sustainable, rewards-based financial products for homeowners, addressing the growing demand for solutions that tackle the cost-of-living crisis while enhancing energy efficiency and financial inclusivity.

As the CTO and Co-Founder, you will be responsible for architecting, building, and scaling our core platform, leveraging open banking and smart energy data to provide real-time insights. You will work directly with the CEO and play a pivotal role in driving product innovation, shaping our technical roadmap, and ensuring a successful go-to-market strategy. This is an opportunity for someone with a passion for technology, financial inclusion, and sustainability, who is excited to join an early-stage company with real traction and a high growth trajectory.


Key Responsibilities:


• Lead the development and scaling of our HomeHealth Score platform, an API-based infrastructure for banks and financial institutions.

• Define and implement the technology roadmap, focusing on data aggregation, machine learning, and AI-driven insights.

• Build and manage a high-performing engineering team, ensuring timely product launches and feature rollouts.

• Oversee integration with open banking, smart home data systems, and energy performance tools.

• Develop a secure, scalable cloud-based platform architecture.

• Drive technical excellence and ensure our platform meets compliance with financial regulations and data privacy standards.


What We’re Looking For:


• Proven experience as a CTO, Head of Engineering, or Technical Co-Founder in FinTech, PropTech, or a data-driven technology business.

• Expertise in open banking, APIs, and experience with cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS, Azure).

• A track record of building scalable platforms, ideally in finance or sustainability sectors.

• Strong leadership skills with experience in building and leading tech teams.

• A passion for data-driven innovation, sustainability, and improving financial systems.

• Familiarity with AI/ML and data analytics to drive insights and decision-making.

• Prior experience in early-stage startups is highly desirable.


What We Offer:


• Up to 50% of the founder's equity in the business, alongside competitive salary (post-funding).

• The chance to co-found a business with a purpose-driven mission and global growth potential.

• The opportunity to shape the future of sustainable home finance and make a lasting impact on both financial inclusion and climate risk management.

• A collaborative, entrepreneurial working environment where your ideas and contributions will make a direct impact from day one.


Why Join Us?


• We are backed by experienced investors and have proven traction, including partnerships with major financial institutions.

• You’ll be part of a mission-driven startup addressing climate change, energy efficiency, and affordable housing finance – areas critical to the future of our economy and environment.

• We’re entering a highly scalable market, with opportunities to expand across the UK, EU, and USA.


How to Apply:


If you’re passionate about open banking, AI-driven insights, and making a positive environmental and social impact, we’d love to hear from you. Send your CV and a brief introduction about why you’re interested in becoming a Co-Founder and CTO with our client.
