With 75 employees across offices in the US, London, Singapore, and India, we build the systems that power best-execution trading at global scale. We are expanding rapidly and looking for a technology leader to drive our next phase of growth.

The Role
We are looking for a CTO based in India to lead all software engineering and DevOps operations across our Indian offices. This is a senior leadership role reporting directly to the CEO, with full ownership of the technology organization in India and a seat at the table on company-wide technical strategy.
You will lead multiple engineering teams spanning market data systems, trading engines, strategy containers, simulation infrastructure, front-end/AMS platforms, and DevOps — ensuring that BestEx’s technology is scalable, reliable, and positioned at the cutting edge.

We need someone who combines deep technical credibility with the ability to build and lead high-performing teams, set culture, and deliver.

- Provide hands-on architectural guidance to engineering teams - market data, trading systems, strategy/simulation, front-end (AMS), and DevOps
- Ensure systems are scalable, maintainable, well-documented, and built to institutional-grade reliability standards
- Evaluate and introduce new technologies (e.g., AI/ML, contemporary data infrastructure) where they create real competitive advantage
- Establish and enforce engineering best practices — code quality, testing, CI/CD, monitoring, incident response, and documentation
- Collaborate closely with the quantitative research team to translate strateg
