CTO/Lead Developer

1872 Consulting

Lead Developer/Hands-on CTO – Crypto Purchasing Platform

Chicago, IL

We are an established crypto-currency based company, that has bootstrapped a business that is funded through revenue, and is growing at a pace of 20,000 new users/month. We have about 100 total employees, and are launching a new product line/division, which is the reason this position is open. We are looking for a hands-on Lead Developer/CTO to work closely with the business leaders of this new division to develop a fintech application that focuses on automating the purchasing of crypto. You'll be recommending the initial tech stack, spearheading the architecture and development yourself, and then growing a team to continue to iterate on an exciting product roadmap.

What We're Looking For:

  • 5+ years of experience with hands-on, full-stack, software development experience
  • At least 1 year of experience with trading platforms or other relevant FinTech applications that involve connectivity with financial institutions
  • Experience leading software development projects
  • Experience recommending tech stacks to use for new projects
  • Experience leading and mentoring less experienced developers
  • Passion for cryptocurrency is a must

Nice To Have Skills:

  • Java Development experience (our core business applications are built with Java, but we'll trust your recommendation on what stack to use for the new product launch you'll be spearheading)
  • Cryptocurrency and/or Blockchain experience
  • Familiarity with various authentication schemes
  • OpenAPI (Swagger) authoring
