SKILLS
ABOUT JAN THURAU
CTO and engineering executive with 15+ years of experience building, scaling, and transforming technology organizations — from early-stage startups to established digital platforms.I started my professional career at 14 and moved into my first CTO role at 18. Since then, I’ve repeatedly built engineering organizations from scratch, scaled teams to 30+ engineers, replaced mission-critical legacy systems, and aligned technology strategy with business growth in regulated and high-availability environments.My background combines deep hands-on technical expertise with executive leadership. I’ve architected and delivered SaaS platforms, led international engineering teams, supported VC-backed growth through Series B, and owned technical due diligence for fundraising rounds. I’m equally comfortable designing distributed systems, hiring and mentoring senior leaders, or stepping in to fix underperforming teams and delivery pipelines.Beyond company work, I’m a core maintainer of Tiptap — the largest rich-text editor framework on the market with more than 10 million monthly downloads — and technical owner of its real-time collaboration stack used by enterprise customers at scale.What I’m known for:• Building and scaling high-performance engineering organizations (0 → 30+)• Replacing failing core systems and modernizing platforms• Turning unclear business goals into executable technical roadmaps• Driving measurable improvements in performance, reliability, and delivery speed• Operating hands-on when needed while thinking and acting at executive levelI work primarily in English and German, with a strong focus on TypeScript-based systems today and a long background in backend, infrastructure, and DevOps (AWS, bare metal, virtualization).I’m currently open to senior leadership roles such as CTO, VP / Director of Engineering, or Head of Technology — particularly in product-driven, technology-first organizations where engineering quality and execution speed matter.
