Job Summary
About Odin
Odin is building the investment infrastructure for the future of private markets. We believe capital is one of the most powerful tools for shaping the world - and more people should know how to put it to work. Our mission is to make it radically easier to raise and deploy capital so that anyone anywhere can back the companies and ideas they believe in.
Our first product is a full-stack platform for launching and running private investment firms - think Shopify for VC and PE. We handle all the infrastructure: from legal structuring and investor onboarding to KYC/AML payments tax reporting and exits.
Were already trusted by over 10000 angels VCs and founders. We administer over $500m in assets covering investments from pre-seed to series E. This includes household names like ElevenLabs OpenAI SpaceX xAI Anduril etc. but also new companies creating everything from synthetic brains to small nuclear reactors.
The Role
This is a CTO role for someone entrepreneurial who has already played a meaningful role in building a business and is ready to do it again.
Youll be accountable for engineering execution. This is not a strategy role that shapes work from a distance. Your responsibility is to turn priorities into shipped outcomes: to understand whats being asked question it until it makes sense estimate it honestly and build an engineering system that delivers without surprises.
Youll stay close enough to the work to set a credible bar for pace and quality. That means recognising what high performance looks like because youve operated at that level yourself understanding when something is genuinely complex versus unnecessarily slow and raising standards in a way the team can follow and respect.
Youll build a team culture that uses AI as a default way of working to increase output every day.
Quality matters just as much. Shipping the wrong thing shipping something with obvious edge cases or missing basic failure modes is not acceptable to you. When things break theyre fixed quickly learned from properly and prevented from happening again.
Today the team is six engineers. Youll work closely with them set a bar of expectation and continue to build the team deliberately as the product grows.
The kind of person who thrives here
This role is not for someone who wants to manage from a distance or run an engineering org that needs constant permission to move.
The right person is intense in the best way: action-oriented curious direct and embarrassed by slow delivery. You dont disagree and commit while still confused. You ask questions until it genuinely makes sense and you expect the same standard from the team.
Youre open-minded without being passive. You care about people but you dont avoid tension. You can debate hard problems without ego change your mind when the reasoning is better and be clear when it isnt. Youre honest easy to work with under pressure and you raise the bar simply by how you operate.
Bottom line
This role shapes how engineering grows at Odin. Youll set the tone for how decisions are made how trade-offs are handled how incidents are treated and how quickly the team moves when something matters. Expectations are clear. Your job is to create the environment that allows people to either rise to the challenge or opt out early.
