🧡 Chief Technology Officer (SaaS | AI | Scale)

📍 Melbourne | Hybrid | Global Product | GCP | Leadership

Hey you — yes, you.

The engineering leader who’s as comfortable in strategy decks as in service diagrams.

The one who still gets a kick out of solving real problems, not just talking about them.

Refactor are proud to be partnering with a global SaaS company that’s quietly become the engine behind some of the world’s biggest brands — think major sports leagues, entertainment giants, and financial heavyweights.

They’re at that rare sweet spot:

✅ Profitable and scaling fast

✅ Backed by a global partner (Google Cloud)

✅ Fresh off a major acquisition and architecture refactor

✅ Now diving head-first into AI-powered product innovation

And they need a CTO to lead the next chapter.

What’s in it for you

• A chance to shape and scale a platform that reaches millions around the world
• Lead a smart, tight-knit engineering crew through a cloud migration to GCP
• Build new AI and data-driven experiences that redefine engagement
• Partner directly with execs, Google engineers, and some seriously sharp minds
• No endless red tape — just room to create, experiment and deliver

What you’ll bring

• Deep experience leading technology for a high-growth SaaS or platform business
• Strong architecture chops in cloud (AWS/GCP), microservices, and event-driven systems
• A genuine love for people leadership — building culture, not just code
• A curious mind for AI, data, and personalisation at scale
• Bonus points for experience across MarTech, AdTech or payments

You’ll be the strategic driver of tech — part visionary, part builder, part coach.

The kind of CTO who can talk roadmap with the board, then whiteboard an architecture with the team after lunch.

This is one of those roles that only comes around every few years — a real chance to make your mark on a global product, from Melbourne.
