Chief Technology Officer (CTO)

Upway
Paris
Chief Technology Officer (CTO)

Department: Engineering

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: Paris

Reporting To: Co-Founder & CEO

Description

Upway is on a mission to make electric mobility accessible to all. We buy, refurbish, and resell e-bikes across Europe and the US. We've already sold over 80,000 e-bikes in 8 countries, and we're aiming to process over 1 million bikes by 2030. Backed by top-tier investors - including Sequoia - and growing fast, we're building the most trusted platform for circular mobility.

Now we're looking for a CTO to fuel our next phase of growth. You'll work hand in hand with our founders and join our leadership team to turn Tech into a core driver of innovation, efficiency, and growth as we scale from $200M to $2B in GMV.

French speaking is not a requirement and non-french speakers are encouraged to apply to this position.

What You Will Do
  • Build a world-class team: Scale our engineering team from 10 to 50+ over the next 3 years, starting with our strong existing team of full-stack engineers. Hire outstanding talent, design a high-performance org and shape a high-ownership culture.
  • Own the architecture : Design and evolve a resilient, scalable architecture to support our ambition: 1M bikes processed per year across 20+ UpCenters in 10+ countries globally.
  • Drive big bets : Lead major initiatives, from a consumer mobile app to a SaaS offering for retailers, and turn our operations stack into a strategic moat.
  • Connect tech & business : Make high-quality decisions that balance long-term architecture with fast-paced business needs. Partner with our experienced Market GMs across Europe and the US to tailor tech solutions to local needs while building a global platform.
  • Shape the company's future: Join the leadership team and work closely with the co-founders, Product Lead, and GMs to redefine customers' experience through superior technology and operational excellence.
  • Stay close to the code : Provide hands-on leadership where needed, supporting the team with technical insight, architectural reviews, and mentoring.
Working hand in hand with our Product team, our tech team builds and powers:
  1. Sourcing tools for businesses and consumers to sell e-bikes to Upway, fast and frictionless
  2. E-commerce experiences and ancillary services that redefine how people and retailers buy and own e-bikes
  3. Operational systems that run our global network of refurbishment UpCenters at unmatched quality and efficiency

What You Will Need
  • You've scaled teams : You've led the growth of a team from 10 to 50+, ideally as CTO or early engineering leader in a high-growth environment
  • You are strategic + hands-on : You think long-term, love complex architecture decisions, but also roll up your sleeves when needed
  • You build high-performing teams and culture : You know how to hire, coach, and retain A-players
  • You think globally : You've built for multiple markets, ideally with a consumer or marketplace angle, and are excited to work with commercial, ops, and product leaders to shape customer-first solutions across different markets
  • Clear communicator : You can explain complex trade-offs to both technical and non-technical peers
Key Details
  • Location : Paris (in person)
  • Compensation : Market-level salary, highly competitive stock options. We aim for fair pay and life-changing equity upside, aligning your success with the company's.
  • Travel : Regular travel to Germany, US, Belgium, and other UpCenters
  • Language : English by default - we're an international team. French is not required.
  • Our Stack : TypeScript (NestJS + React) • PostgreSQL • BigQuery • GCP • Docker • Vercel • Shopify • Git • Turborepo • Metabase • Auth0
Because we're not just building tech - we're redefining how mobility works in the circular economy. You'll join an ambitious, fast-moving team backed by world-class investors, with the opportunity to architect a platform that touches millions of people and shapes the future of sustainable transportation.
