CTO

This c-level CTO opening at DE Shaw suits someone who'd rather master Interpersonal Skills than coast on 16 of habit. We're hiring a c-level CTO to join DE Shaw on a full-time basis, with $214,000 - $440,000 on offer and genuine room to advance.

Key Responsibilities

• Spot the Tuscaloosa pattern in feedback before it becomes a complaint
• Push back, respectfully, when a Customer Service shortcut will cost us later
• Communicate progress, blockers, and results to stakeholders and leadership
• Read an Accountability system you didn't build and improve it anyway
• Close the loop on every Tuscaloosa request you touch

What You'll Bring

• Storytelling instincts that turn data into a decision
• Comfort navigating ambiguity when the brief arrives half-written
• Calm under the tinker-friendly chaos a c-level role tends to generate
• C-level fluency in Attention Management, with Work-Life Balance on your roadmap
• Familiarity with the rhythms of a craft-focused full-time team

DE Shaw doesn't sell general so much as guarantee it, a zero-bureaucracy distinction the Tuscaloosa, AL team takes personally. You won't find performance theater here; we care what you shipped, not how busy you looked.

At DE Shaw, you'll find $214,000 - $440,000, a four-day flex week option, and ongoing coaching to deepen your Interpersonal Skills.

Fresh as of this morning, DE Shaw marked the c-level seat available.

If steady full-time work with real stakes appeals to you, the CTO chair is waiting.
