PpSnapbau is an AI-powered SaaS procurement platform built for the construction industry. In under a year, we’ve achieved strong traction in the Swiss market and are now entering a rapid scale-up phase with international expansion ahead. /p pWe are building software for real-world construction environments — fragmented systems, low-connectivity job sites, fast operational workflows, and high execution pressure. The next phase of the company requires a deeply technical leader who can architect scalable systems while shipping production code daily. /p pThis is a hands‑on builder role for someone who wants to own architecture, infrastructure, engineering execution, and technical product evolution from the ground up. /p pbThe Role /b /p pWe are looking for an experienced CTO / senior technical leader who combines strong product engineering instincts with pragmatic startup execution.
