CTO to also join as Partner

Salary Competitive
Equity To be negotiated

We are on the lookout for a full stack developer to join Go! Running Tours as CTO and partner. Go! Running Tours offers running tours in 60 different countries and as our rapid growth continues we are in dire need of a CTO who can ensure that we technically are best in class and able to sustain the growth we are currently experiencing.


It doesn’t matter if you are a student, a developer with 20+ years experience or a serial entrepreneur, as long as you are exceptionally good at what you do, and are super motivated to be part of our start-up's journey, and the ownership team. You have to both be able to get down and dirty with the code and be able to build our platform with scalability and stability in mind, while also being able to lead Go! Running Tours in the strategically sound direction from a technical perspective.

Initially, you will be responsible for developing a new platform and then next on the roadmap is an app. The platform has to be built from scratch so there is no old code you have to consider or use, and you can choose the technology you prefer and excel in. 

The glue, “magic” and turbo engine of Go! Running Tours is a passion for running. It's what our customers love and its what our global team is truly passionate about (not the nerdy type that talk about split times, vo2 max etc. just regular runners). We would therefore be thrilled if running is part of your lifestyle, regardless of if you are an elite runner or more the slow and graceful type. Doesn’t matter. You just have to love running. 

We are not a flash start-up with footsie tables, lounge areas with plants on the wall or Friday bars with DJs (though we will be happy to do rock, paper, scissors on who goes to get the Friday beers). We are a tiny startup on the road to something big. A startup with positive energy which has so far has gotten us to where we are via organic growth and lots of hard work. A start-up with a proven business concept, loyal customers and partnerships with large corporations such as Asics. 

You will be working closely with Lena (founder and big boss) and the two of you will be the Thompson and Thompson of Go! Running Tours. Together you will spearhead the business and continue to scale both geographically and product-wise, while staying close to our customers and providers. 

So in short, we are looking for a full stack developer who truly knows her/his s***, who is ready to be part of the ownership team and who will get a kick out of truly putting the turbo engine on for our future growth and success.

If you are interested, then send an introduction of yourself and why you would like to join the company including references to your past work as well as your technical competencies. Nothing long - just short and to the point.

Thanks for reading this far - we hope you drop us a line :-).
