About the Role
We own our core technology end to end, with code and architecture that has scaled well with us. That's our edge, and it's why this role matters. We're looking for a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to be accountable for the technology capabilities that will drive our success in the following areas: Engineering capability and execution Platform reliability and resilience Technology risk and security Technology enabled competitive advantage. Dabble's 5-year strategic plan is built on three pillars, all of which rely on technology capabilities you will lead. Our Engine (6-star customer experience, intentional investment, built to scale), Our Edge (owning social betting, Dabble as a game, delivering win-big moments), and Our Evolution (iGaming our way, expanding our model globally, and being public market ready). This role is the custodian of technology capabilities that underpin Dabble's competitive advantage. You'll sit on our Executive Leadership Team, partner directly with our CEO and Board, and balance long-term architecture with the pragmatism to move fast without breaking what punters rely on. If you've scaled tech businesses globally before, know how to turn tech investment into outcomes rather than headlines, and want to build at genuine pace with real ownership, we'd love to chat. This is a rare opportunity to disrupt a crowded market, make meaningful impact on business outcomes, while helping us build the brand that will scale. This role is currently open to all locations within Australia, however candidates based in Melbourne or Brisbane may be preferred.
