As matching with relevant people takes time, I have decided to get started finding a CTO for GreenCarLane.

Don't mind the current geolocation of myself or the startup. Your geolocation is either UK or EU. No recruiters.

We are looking to build a diverse team on all levels and therefore we will take our time to find the right fit and as I am an extroverted introvert I tend not to be impressed by bullshitters, meaning people who oversell their skills, experience and capabilities and try to convince you they are THE fit ("shit"). We follow the principles of "The Infinite Game" by Simon Sinek. Profiles with a finite mindset will not be considered.

I want genuine people, self-critical, a mix of hands-on coder as we are at the early stage and strategic thinker due to growth, driven and ambitious, with strong EQ.
