CTO – AI/ML & Cloud Cost Optimization - #2105911

Chief Technology Officer (CTO) – Cloud Cost Optimization

• Location: Munich or Berlin (future HQ to be defined)
• Client: Early Stage StartUp in Stealthmode
• SetUp: Renowned founders and investors

Early stage startup on a mission to significantly reduce cloud costs for startups and SMEs by using autonomous cloud cost optimization and AI driven cloud ops. The company is led by a senior founder team and funded by top-tier VCs.

We're looking for a hands-on engineer at heart – someone who’s built teams and systems before, but still loves to code, architect, and get things done alongside other senior developers.

Your Role

>Architect in your head, developer in your hands, leader at heart.<

• Define and own the technical vision, architecture and roadmap
• Design and implement scalable cloud optimization solutions across AWS, GCP and Azure
• Continuously train and refine AI models using aggregate customer data
• Build and lead a senior, high-performing engineering team
• Work closely with the founders on product strategy, vision, and execution

What You Bring

• Deep hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure), cloud cost optimization, and FinOps concepts
• Deep hands-on experience in AI/ML developing
• Strong understanding of Kubernetes, Terraform, observability stacks, and scalable architectures
• Proven ability to lead and build engineering teams in early stage startup environments
• Passion for building: you’re still close to the code, love solving problems, and enjoy shipping
• You’re based in Berlin and/or willing to work in an office-first setup with flexibility
• You're communicating fluent in English

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Join a stealth venture at the perfect moment — just before launch, with major potential ahead
• Work alongside top entrepreneurial talent and a highly experienced founding team
• Build in a space where your work has immediate, tangible impact for real customers
• Get in early and shape something that could redefine an entire category
• Receive a competitive compensation package including significant equity
