About the role
🚀 CTO — Thera (NYC, in-person)
Thera is building the financial OS for modern SMBs. Payroll, payments, treasury, spend, accounting, and docs in one system that actually works end-to-end.
We’re looking for a hands-on CTO to own the technical foundation and help us scale from “great product” to category-defining company.
This is not a sit-back-and-manage role. You’ll be in the code, in the architecture, and in the room making high-stakes decisions daily.
📍 NYC, 5 days/week
⚡ Why this role exists
We have:
- a product customers use
- real workflows running through it
- increasing complexity across payments, accounting, and ops
We need someone who can turn that into a durable, scalable system.
🛠 What you’ll own
- 🧠 Technical strategy + architecture across the platform
- ⚙️ Engineering execution across payroll, payments, and new products
- 👥 Hiring and leading a small, high-quality team (starting ~5 engineers)
- 🔐 Decisions on security, reliability, scalability, and compliance
- 🔄 Tight partnership with product + ops to translate real workflows into systems
