United States onlyAbout Liatrio:
Liatrio helps enterprises modernize how they build and deliver software. We partner with organizations to drive transformation through modern architecture, DevOps adoption, platform engineering, and cultural change.
We are looking for a Field CTO to serve as a trusted technical leader who bridges executive strategy and hands-on engineering. This person will drive modernization outcomes for our clients while helping shape Liatrio’s approach to complex enterprise transformation.
The Opportunity:
As a Field CTO, you’ll operate at the intersection of technology, delivery, and business transformation. You’ll work directly with C-Suite stakeholders—to help them navigate ambiguity, define modernization and enterprise transformation strategies, and also lead technical teams to deliver measurable outcomes.
This is a senior leadership- highly visible role requiring both strategic vision and technical depth. You will represent Liatrio in the field, helping clients reimagine how they build, deploy, and scale technology.
What You'll Do:
- Lead enterprise transformations: Partner with client executives to assess current-state architectures, uncover root challenges, and define future-state roadmaps that integrate technology, people, and prcoess.
- Shape technical direction: Architect and guide the design of modern systems—cloud-native platforms, microservices, event-driven architectures, and automation frameworks—that enable agility and scale.
- Translate ambiguity into clarity: Synthesize complex, unstructured information into actionable plans and communicate technical strategies to executive and engineering audiences alike.
- Earn trust through credibility: Collaborate with architects and engineers to validate approaches, pressure-test ideas, and facilitate technical consensus
- Influence and expand relationships: Build lasting client partnerships through advisory engagement, identifying opportunities for Liatrio to create additional value.
- Guide and mentor teams: Coach Liatrio architects and engineering leaders to strengthen delivery excellence and elevate our overall technical community.
- Represent Liatrio externally: Contribute to thought leadership through conference talks, blogs, and executive workshops, reinforcing Liatrio’s position as a trusted modernization partner.
What Success Looks Like:
- You quickly establish credibility with both executives and engineers.
- Clients see you as a strategic partner who can simplify complexity and drive alignment.
- You regularly identify and influence opportunities to expand Liatrio’s footprint within key accounts.
- You elevate our delivery quality and consistency by shaping repeatable patterns and frameworks.
Who You Are:
- A senior technology leader with 12+ years of experience spanning software engineering, architecture, and transformation leadership.
- Fluent in ambiguity — able to build structure from chaos and translate between technical and business perspectives.
- Experienced leading large, complex initiatives involving multiple work streams and 20–30+ engineers or technical leads.
- Technically credible at the architecture and design level (200–300 depth); capable of white-boarding solutions, reviewing approaches, and earning respect from engineering teams.
- Skilled at navigating executive-level relationships, handling difficult conversations, and influencing direction through trust and evidence.
- A systems thinker who connects people, process, and technology — never solving in isolation.
- Passionate about mentoring, learning, and helping others grow.
Preferred Background
- Application architecture or software engineering background or experience in infrastructure or data is valuable but must include a cross-domain perspective.
- Strong familiarity with modern cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), CI/CD and DevOps, platform engineering, and testing and quality automation.
- Previous consulting experience strongly preferred; experience in product engineering leadership (Director/VP/Head of Engineering) also relevant if adaptable to consulting environments.
- Experience in regulated or complex industries (finance, healthcare, aerospace/defense) a plus.
