Job description

Wait a minute.

Deep inside you are looking for a new adventure with Freedom, Ambition and Impact.

Are you inspired in being a key player in building a massive EdTech company that will empower millions of people?

Are you a mission-driven technologist who wants to shape the future of education — and human potential — using cutting-edge tech?

At Paradox, we’re not building just another learning platform. We’re on a mission to redefine how millions of people unlock their ambition — through breakthrough digital experiences, captivating storytelling, and frontier technology.

Why Paradox?

  • Freedom : feeling free to work remotely or hybrid and being trusted to deliver
  • Ambition : growing up surrounded by smart colleagues driven to create an iconic brand like Nike
  • Impact : contributing to transform people lives at scale and feel your own impact in the company

You also happen to want to use your experience as an awesome CTO to contribute to impacting the lives of thousands of people?

Then, you have found the next adventure that will fulfill you!

This is a full‑time position, carried out from our beautiful offices in Dubai, Lisbon or fully remote from anywhere in the world (with frequent travels to Dubai). French and English fluency is required.

Your Mission

Think Nike meets Netflix, powered by neuroscience and soft skills. Now inject it with AI, immersive media, and obsession‑level execution. That’s where we’re headed—and we need a visionary CTO to take us there.

Responsibilities

1 | SET THE TECH VISION

  • Architect the future of learning tech.
  • Align tech with product, growth & design for maximum impact.
  • Explore and apply breakthrough tech—AI, speech recognition, adaptive learning engines, and mobile‑native UX—to enhance how users learn.
  • 2 | BUILD THE PRODUCT & PROTOTYPES

  • Lead the full‑stack development of our core platform.
  • Co‑create MVPs with product & design, test relentlessly, iterate and ship fast.
  • Prioritize simplicity, performance, and “wow” moments.
  • 3 | SUPERCHARGE INTERNAL SYSTEMS

  • Streamline infrastructure, automation, and back‑office tooling.
  • Choose best‑in‑class tools (buy vs build) to scale fast and stay lean.
  • Design robust, scalable architectures that power every business unit (finance, ops, CS).
  • 4 | DRIVE DATA STRATEGY & OBSERVABILITY

  • Build a modern data stack that enables real‑time decisions.
  • Implement clean pipelines, automated dashboards, and A / B testing.
  • Ensure full visibility on product usage, engagement, and outcomes.
  • 5 | OWN DELIVERY & PRIORITIZATION

  • Translate the product vision into a real‑life roadmap.
  • Align with product on what ships when, with ruthless prioritization.
  • Manage tech budgets, timelines, and key metrics.
  • 6 | REPRESENT TECH INTERNALLY & EXTERNALLY

  • Speak at events, write articles, and build our visibility in tech circles.
  • Be a true partner to business, product, and design teams.
  • 7 | LEAD YOUR TEAM TO EXCELLENCE

  • Mentor, and retain world‑class engineers.
  • Set high standards in code quality, documentation, and velocity.
  • Cultivate a culture of ownership, experimentation, and high performance.
  • Do you recognize yourself?

  • You have a track‑record being startup‑savvy CTO building world‑class teams and products from 0 → 1.
  • You’re obsessed with shipping, learning, and improving—always data‑informed, never perfectionist.
  • You’re both strategic and hands‑on : able to design architecture and jump into code when needed.
  • You care deeply about education, personal growth, and impact—and want your work to matter.
  • You lead with energy, clarity, and empathy—and attract A‑players who want to follow your lead.
  • Languages

    French & English fluency

    Our Stack (and What’s Next)

  • Backend : Nest.js (with Typescript)
  • Frontend : Next.js
  • Architecture : microservices, AWS (EC2, Lambdas, RDS, CloudWatch), Vercel
  • Containers & DevOps : Docker, CI / CD pipelines
  • Data : DBT, ETLs, Metabase, Redshift
  • Productivity : Notion, Webflow, Make, Airtable, N8N
  • Perks & Benefits

  • Freedom & Well‑Being
  • Flexible working hours
  • A remote culture from day one with the freedom to work wherever you want
  • Magnificent offices in Dubai and Lisbon : you’re at home worldwide
  • Standing desks paid by the company, if you live far from our offices
  • Macbook : to be the most efficient in your work
  • 350€ per year paid by the company to take care of yourself (gym, dance class, etc.)
  • 150€ per year paid by the company to boost your knowledge (books, education)
  • 1 : 1 coachings : a Paradox coach supporting you personally or professionally to live your best life
  • Team building (benefits are only for full‑time employees)
  • Hiring Process

  • A 6 to 8 minute application survey (with a short video assignment)
  • A video call with Timy to deep dive into your career path and ambitions
  • A video call with Gab, Head of Engineering, to discuss how you’d fit into Paradox’s tech team
  • A culture‑fit video call with Angel, to assess alignment with our values and mindset
  • A final Tech Case Study presentation to our Leadership Team—your chance to showcase your vision, strategy, and how you’d contribute to building our success
  • Reference check to understand how you operate across environments and help set you up for a smooth onboarding
  • Welcome aboard!

    About Our Hiring Process : Our recruitment process is tailored to avoid that you or us realize that we’re not a perfect fit. Every step serves a purpose and will allow us to get to know you better as much as it’ll help you understand more where you’ll be stepping in.

    At Paradox, we are convinced that people do not want “just a job” anymore. We are all craving to have an impact through our professional journey. Some want to start their own venture, some want to become an intrapreneur in their current organization, some others just want their day‑to‑day tasks to have more meaning.

    PARADOX HAS ONE GOAL : TO EMPOWER PEOPLE AND ORGANIZATIONS TO LIVE THEIR TRUE AMBITIONS.

    We travel the world and surround ourselves with top entrepreneurs, world athletes, and artists, reverse engineer their strategies, lean on the latest neurology research, deliver trainings & educational content around Power Skills, self‑growth and performance, through a balanced set of e‑learning programs, events and edutainment videos.

    Join the Paradox Revolution!
