Full CTO role for a Swiss HealthTech startup, overseeing all technical operations.
Responsibilities:
Fractional CTO Services
Senior Tech Leadership Without the Full-Time Cost
You need strategic technical guidance, but you’re not ready (or don’t need) a full-time CTO. Maybe you’re a non-technical founder making critical technology decisions. Maybe your dev team needs experienced leadership. Maybe you’re preparing for investment and need someone to speak confidently about your technical roadmap.
At REPTILE.HAUS, we’ve spent 20+ years building products, leading teams, and making the technical decisions that shape companies. As your fractional CTO, we bring that experience to your business—part-time, on-demand, and at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.
We’ve been CTO for a Swiss HealthTech startup, led development for Web3 protocols, and advised companies across industries. Now we bring that experience to help you avoid expensive mistakes and build technology that actually supports your business goals.
What a Fractional CTO Does
A fractional CTO gives you executive-level technical leadership without the full-time salary. Here’s what we bring:
- Technical strategy & roadmap – Align your technology choices with business goals. We help you decide what to build, what to buy, and what to skip entirely.
- Architecture decisions – Make the right calls on tech stack, infrastructure, and system design. Avoid technical debt that will slow you down later.
- Team leadership & hiring – Build and manage your development team. We can run your tech team, help you hire, and establish engineering practices that work.
- Vendor & contractor management – Evaluate agencies, vet developers, and ensure external partners deliver quality work. We know the right questions to ask.
- Investor communications – Present your technical roadmap confidently to investors. We can join board meetings, answer due diligence questions, and build investor confidence.
- Crisis management – When things break, we help you fix them fast. Production issues, security incidents, team problems—we’ve seen it all.
The result: You get the strategic guidance of a senior technical leader, applied to your specific situation, without the €200K+ annual cost of a full-time CTO.
Who We Work With
We’re the ideal fit if you’re:
- A non-technical founder who needs someone to translate between business and technology
- A startup preparing for investment and need technical credibility
- Building a dev team and want experienced guidance on hiring and processes
- Working with external developers and need someone to ensure quality
- Facing a technical challenge or decision you’re not confident making alone
Our sweet spot: Founders and growing companies who need strategic technical leadership but aren’t ready for a full-time executive hire.
