Chief Technology Officer (CTO)

About 360Player

360Player is building the operating system for sports organizations globally.

We work with leading brands across multiple sports and countries — including FC Barcelona and Rafa Nadal Academy — while also powering one of the largest club networks in the U.S. market. We have local teams operating in Sweden, Spain, the UK, North America, and Australia, serving organizations at both elite and grassroots levels.

Our platform supports sports organizations end-to-end: administration, payments, communication, athlete development, scheduling, registrations, and multi-sport operations — all within a unified, multi-tenant SaaS architecture.

We have built one of the most comprehensive and advanced platforms in the market for managing complex administrative processes, particularly within scheduling, registrations, and payments. Our customers rely on us to handle operational complexity at scale — across countries, sports, and customer segments.

AI is becoming a core layer of our product. We are implementing AI broadly across features, workflows, automation, and reporting to improve decision-making, reduce manual work, and unlock new product capabilities.

We serve 900,000+ users across 60+ countries. With ~75 employees and significant investment into U.S. expansion, we operate at meaningful global scale with strong product-market fit and clear category ambition.

Headquartered in central Stockholm and well-funded, we are entering a phase where architecture, leadership, and execution will define our long-term position as the global leader in sports tech.

The Role

We are hiring a CTO to lead our engineering organization through its next phase of scale.

This is a leadership role first. You will lead and develop a team of 13 engineers and be responsible for performance, hiring, structure, and technical direction.

You will work closely with the CEO and CPO. Product owns the roadmap — your responsibility is to ensure we build it in a scalable, secure, and future-proof way.

What You Will Own

Engineering Leadership

• Lead and develop a team of 13 engineers
• Build a culture of ownership, accountability, and high standards
• Establish scalable, AI-driven, engineering processes and operating principles
• Recruit, retain, and develop strong technical talent
• Lead performance and compensation reviews within engineering

Technical Direction

Our stack includes:

• TypeScript / React (frontend)
• Go (API/backend)
• MS SQL
• Azure (cloud infrastructure)
• AI-assisted development environments (e.g. Claude, Copilot-style workflows)

You will:

• Own architecture and long-term technical direction
• Ensure scalability, security, and reliability of the platform
• Guide multi-tenant SaaS design and framework decisions
• Oversee infrastructure, DevOps, CI/CD, and observability
• Manage technical debt pragmatically while maintaining delivery velocity

Product Enablement

• Partner with Product to scope solutions and evaluate feasibility
• Enable sustainable, efficient execution of the roadmap
• Drive clear build-vs-buy and integration decisions

External Representation

• Represent 360Player’s technology to investors, partners, and enterprise customers
• Clearly articulate our technical strategy and platform capabilities

Who You Are

• Proven senior engineering leader in a SaaS environment (VP Engineering, Director, or CTO)
• Experienced in scaling both teams and systems
• Architecturally strong and technically credible
• Comfortable operating in modern, AI-enabled development environments
• Structured, pragmatic, and business-oriented

You do not need to code daily, but you must be able to go deep when required and earn the trust of senior engineers.
