Demandstar.com | CTO | Full Time | Greater Seattle Area, Remote
http://www.demandstar.com is an e-Procurement marketplace for governments and businesses. Governments post their RFPs on our system and we alert a network of suppliers. Suppliers love us because we aggregate hundreds of government buyers on one site (otherwise they'd have to check all those city, county, municipal, school, and utility sites individually... every day), which means more opportunities for work. Governments love us because we increase the number of suppliers bidding on their work, which means lower prices and taxpayer savings.
Our 7 person team has experience as state and federal employees doing procurement, experience doing sales in the government and small business space, and experience building and growing startups.
We already have 500+ governments and tens of thousands of paying suppliers using the platform. We have a healthy amount of revenue, and just raised a $2M round from Version One, Forefront, and Advance Venture Partners to fuel product growth.
We have product/market fit. We have revenue. We have money. We just need you.
We're looking for a product-centric CTO to take the reigns of our existing product and grow the domestic engineering team. You'll build a product-focused engineering team and lead technical strategy to connect both sides of the massive business-to-government market. This entrepreneurial role is extremely hands-on – you’ll write code while you define the culture, engineering practices, architecture, and roadmap for the organization.
You likely have several of the following:
* 8+ years relevant work and leadership experience
* Direct experience in marketplaces or network creation, and/or strong background in eCommerce
* Experience developing full web stack applications using the Microsoft stack
* Expert in Web API 2.0, REST APIs, MVC framework, .Net core
* Solid client-side JS frameworks mastery, ReactJS specifically
* Strong network for recruiting and peer support
* Appreciation for the positive role local governments play in people’s lives
