CTO

Most startups want to change an industry. Solios is building the exchange for one of the world's most important commodities: electricity.

Solios is building a next-generation electricity exchange that brings modern exchange technology to one of the world's largest and most important markets. The Solios platform will enable participants to hedge and trade electricity price risk through innovative perpetual futures products, helping power producers, data centers, utilities, and traders navigate an increasingly complex energy landscape.

We're looking for a hands-on, entrepreneurial CTO to lead the technology strategy, oversee exchange development, and help launch a category-defining marketplace at the intersection of energy, finance, and technology.

• Lead the technology vision and architecture for a new electricity trading exchange.
• Manage and partner with external development teams while building the long-term engineering team in the long run.
• Oversee exchange launch and ongoing platform operations.
• Design and scale critical exchange infrastructure, including:
• Matching engines
• Market data systems such as autodeleveraging
• Trading and order management systems
• Margin, collateral, and liquidation frameworks
• Establish real-time monitoring, risk controls, and operational processes that ensure exchange performance and solvency.
• Partner closely with founders, product leaders, and quantitative experts to bring innovative energy derivatives products to market.
• Help recruit future engineering talent as the company grows in the long run.

• Direct experience operating technology for a crypto exchange, futures exchange, electronic trading venue, or similar financial marketplace.
• Deep understanding of:
• Matching engines
• Trading infrastructure
• Exchange operations
• Market surveillance and platform resiliency
• Proven ability to thrive in startup environments where execution matters as much as strategy.
• Comfortable joining an early-stage company with significant equity upside and long-term growth potential.
• Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD from a highly regarded University preferred.

This is an opportunity to build something truly foundational at the intersection of energy, finance, and exchange technology. As electricity demand accelerates due to AI, data centers, electrification, and renewable energy adoption, the infrastructure supporting power markets is struggling to keep pace. Solios is reimagining how electricity risk is traded by bringing the speed, accessibility, and innovation of modern financial and crypto exchanges to one of the world's most important markets.

As a founding team member, you'll work directly with experienced entrepreneurs who have successfully built, scaled, and exited multiple ventures. You'll have a significant voice in shaping the company's technology, product strategy, and long-term vision while tackling complex challenges that have real-world impact on global energy infrastructure.

Most importantly, this is a chance to help define an entirely new category in electricity trading. For someone who is energized by solving difficult problems, building from the ground up, and creating lasting value through meaningful equity ownership, Solios offers the rare opportunity to leave a lasting mark on an industry poised for transformation.
