Who are we?

We are Documoto, a Denver-based software company with a vision to help equipment manufacturers, their network, and their equipment owners “Keep the World’s Machines Working”.  It’s a big vision for a huge market.

Our flagship product is an industry-leading SaaS solution that helps our customers drive real innovation in their aftermarket.  With Documoto, our customers can author parts catalogs and related technical content, securely distribute that content over the web to any device in a variety of languages and find and order the rights parts and products the first time, every time.  Our customers are found throughout the globe and range from small manufacturers to some of the world’s largest machinery companies and transit organizations.

Why join Documoto?

We’re a venture-backed early stage growth company that has recently undergone a financial and operational transformation to position us for significant growth.  We provide a unique combination of a real, viable business – a proven business model and market, a passionate and talented core team, stable financials, and happy, paying customers – with the execution model, equity structure, and growth opportunities of a startup.

We’re now ready for our next chapter.  We’ve learned a lot over the past several years working with the world’s leading equipment manufacturers and fleet owners.  We’ve taken that knowledge and distilled it into a plan to build the most transformative and advanced aftermarket solution in the industry.  With our house in order and a clear vision of where we want to go, all we need is you!  We’re looking for some great people that share our passion and want to work alongside us to make it happen.

We’re in Englewood, CO, south of downtown Denver.  We are steps away from light rail and bus service, in Englewood’s City Center. Excellent benefits include flexible work hours, work from home, health, medical, disability, discounted gym membership, and flexible PTO to accommodate a great work life-balance.  We’re dog friendly, we have regular game lunches, monthly happy hours, and we see the occasional movie or concert together.

What are we looking for?

Title: Chief Technology Officer

Compensation: Market salary plus equity, commensurate with experience

Reports To: CEO

We are looking for a hands-on CTO to architect and code, lead our technical team, support and maintain our existing technology stack and product suite, and deliver our next-generation B2B SaaS solution using both new and proven technologies.  This is a highly strategic role, working closely with the CEO and other senior leadership.

The ideal candidate has an entrepreneurial mindset with demonstrated success leading high performance technical teams as a CTO in enterprise B2B SaaS.  First time CTOs with a proven track record of increasing technical and leadership responsibilities are encouraged to apply. This is a hands-on role and the CTO will be expected to architect and code heavily at first, recruit for open positions, lead a talented engineering team, select technology solutions, and ultimately ensure that we deliver a robust, scalable, and well-defined product with huge business value for our prospective customers.

Who are you?

You are looking for a challenge that combines both your technical background and your leadership skills to deliver game-changing software solutions to the market.  You recognize that you can’t be successful unless you make your team successful, and that effective collaboration and mentoring is key.  You can take out the trash, run a standup, hire an architect, and work with DevOps to optimize our CD pipeline – all in the same day.  You thrive in fast-paced environments and are flexible in adapting to change.  Innovation and start-up culture are in your blood.  You seek opportunities to express initiative, volunteering readily and taking independent action and calculated risks.  You have no problem rolling up your sleeves and getting things done.  You have a high level of intellectual curiosity that reveals insights and implications, and you use that knowledge to think creatively about solutions.

You understand that while you’re deeply passionate about technology, technology without business results is worthless.  You have an obsessive customer focus and know that it is important to get to market quickly, experiment, learn, adapt and iterate.  You really understand what it means to deliver an MVP product and to provide a top-notch user experience.  You have pride in your work and instill that pride in your team.

Importantly, you exemplify our core principles of transparency, honesty, clarity, accountability, and safety.
