Chief Technology Officer (CTO)

As CTO of Tamburi Holding, you own the entire technology stack -- from the products our customers and partners use to the IT backbone that keeps the business running every day.

On the product side, you set architectural direction across smart locker systems, customer-facing mobile apps, websites, onboarding portals, internal service-center tools, and ERP systems. On the infrastructure side, you own the backbone -- telephony, databases, identity, networking, endpoints -- across two office locations and a hybrid cloud + on-premise estate.

Your core mandate is to bring standardization, structuring, and modularity to a heterogeneous landscape: clear architectural patterns, reusable components, and synergies between software and infrastructure that compound into speed, quality, and scalability.

You report directly to the Managing Director and are the single point of accountability for all technology decisions.
