We are conducting a search for Tjekvik, which is seeking an accomplished Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to lead their development department and drive their technological vision forward. In this key leadership role, you will not only define the company’s technological roadmap but also inspire and guide a team of skilled engineers. If you're eager to spearhead the advancement of Tjekvik’s self-service technology in the automotive industry, this could be the ideal next step in your career

At Tjekvik, they are driven by a passion to revolutionize the automotive aftersales check-in and out process. Recognizing the potential of self-service technology, they are dedicated to creating innovative solutions that enhance efficiency for dealerships. As a company on an exciting growth path, Tjekvik is committed to expanding its business while maintaining the dynamic, flexible work environment that sets them apart. Their mission is to make a meaningful impact in the industry, one dealership at a time, and they are unwavering in their pursuit of this goal.

As the new CTO, you will play a critical role in shaping the future of Tjekvik's technology and products. You will be responsible for driving the strategic direction of their technological roadmap, ensuring that their innovative self-service solutions continue to meet the evolving needs of the automotive industry. You will lead a team of talented developers, DevOps engineers, and technical leads, all of whom work remotely across Europe. A significant part of your role will involve managing and driving performance from a distance, ensuring your team excels regardless of their location. Additionally, you will be an integral member of the leadership team, working closely with the CEO and Head of Product as a trusted advisor. The CTO position is pivotal, as the company’s product involves both software (SaaS) and integrated hardware, making technology the core of the business and placing you at the heart of it all. A key responsibility will be to develop and oversee the creation of an open API, ensuring seamless integration with car dealer systems and other third-party vendors, including payment solutions.

• Define and execute the technological vision, ensuring it drives innovation and supports Tjekvik's business objectives within the automotive sector.
• Lead and manage a geographically dispersed engineering team, fostering strong collaboration and maximizing team performance across different locations.
• Lead the creation and rollout of advanced SaaS and hardware solutions, ensuring they are in line with market demands and industry trends.
• Work closely with the CEO, Head of Product and the rest of leadership team, offering strategic technical insights and playing a key role in shaping the company’s direction.
• Optimize and manage technology operations, ensuring scalability, security, and efficiency to support the company's growth trajectory.

REQUIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
The ideal candidate is expected to have a computer science or engineering education at BA or MA level, but experience from a similar role is more important. Furthermore, the candidate is expected to have:

• Proven experience in a senior technology leadership role, preferably within a technology-driven company.
• Hands-on experience in software development and managing integrated hardware products.
• Experience in developing and executing technology strategies that align with business goals and drive innovation within a fast-growing company.
