Job Description

Description : Description

This is a fully REMOTE position. Only applicants who currently reside in California, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington State will be considered for this role.

3Si is a software (SaaS) company that helps governments, nonprofits, and philanthropies use data to improve the lives of children. We work with a network of state and city governments to build data systems that help identify and address early childhood service gaps. Founded in 2012, 3Si is a mission driven organization with a collaborative, entrepreneurial, innovative, and fully remote work culture.

We’re looking for a mission-driven leader who is passionate about using technology to improve real-world outcomes for children and families. You bring not only technical excellence but a genuine passion for impact — someone who finds purpose in applying technology for public good.

We’re seeking a seasoned technology leader to help a growing SaaS company transform its data platform into its next phase of scale.

The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) is a key executive leader responsible for setting the technology vision and driving the development, delivery, and scaling of a growing SaaS platform. This role requires a balance of strategic foresight and hands-on leadership to ensure cloud architecture, data infrastructure, and engineering operations are secure, scalable, and compliant within regulated environments.

You thrive in a values-driven environment where the mission matters as much as the metrics , and you care deeply about how technology can make government systems more human, effective, and data-informed.

Ideal Candidate Profile

You are a strategic and pragmatic technology leader who can guide both vision and execution. You thrive in dynamic, growth-stage environments where clarity, speed, and collaboration are key. You bring deep technical acumen, business understanding, and the ability to translate complex technology into meaningful outcomes.

You’ve built and managed the full loop of getting an application running — from architecture and development to deployment, monitoring, and iteration. You have a hands-on understanding of what it takes to get an app from idea to production, including infrastructure, CI / CD, and post-launch operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and execute the company’s technology vision and roadmap across software, data, DevOps, and AI domains.
• Ensure systems, architecture, and infrastructure meet modern standards for scalability, performance, and data protection.
• Lead innovation and guide the adoption of emerging technologies that enhance product value and operational efficiency.
• Develop and implement the company’s AI and data strategy, enabling practical application across products and operations.
• Build, mentor, and scale high-performing engineering teams; establish best practices and drive continuous improvement in quality and delivery.
• Partner with Product and business leaders to prioritize features, manage technical debt, and align technology decisions with business goals.
• Oversee vendor relationships, manage technology budgets, and make strategic buy-versus-build decisions to optimize resources.
• Translate complex technical concepts into clear, business-focused communication for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Comfortable moving between high-level technical strategy and hands-on execution, ensuring systems run reliably at scale and continuously improve.
