The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  DigitalWave is hiring a CTO in Carlsbad, NM.

• Role description

  On this team, a CTO wears more than one hat and gains exposure to the full scope of general. Bring the entrepreneurial energy and 15 years; DigitalWave brings $205,000 - $406,000, a Carlsbad base, and room to grow into more.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Spot where Analytical Thinking breaks before it shows up in a dashboard
  • Absorb 17 of context fast and start contributing sooner
  • Leave every general system a little better than you found it
  • Partner with peers to troubleshoot issues and share practical knowledge
  • Keep DigitalWave leadership honest with numbers they can act on

  What You'll Bring

  • Written communication clear enough to survive a forwarded email chain
  • Ability to learn new general systems quickly and apply them effectively
  • Real Cross-Functional Collaboration chops, plus the Continuous Learning curiosity to keep growing
  • Proudly-nerdy problem-solving that doesn't wait for permission
  • Comfort presenting to a NM-wide audience without a script
  • Proven follow-through, measured in shipped things rather than good intentions

  Founded in Carlsbad, NM during a downturn, DigitalWave grew hands-dirty and lean while flashier general rivals burned out. Feedback flows in every direction, so good ideas reach the table no matter who voices them.

  In return for your Cross-Functional Collaboration expertise, you'll earn $205,000 - $406,000 along with 401(k) matching and flexible remote options.

  This minute, the CTO chair sits empty and the search is on.
