Executive Assistant to CTO

8+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant, with direct experience supporting CTO, VP of Engineering, or other senior technology leaders.

Prior experience at high-growth startups or fast-scaling technology companies is required.

You need to have operated in environments where engineering organizations are growing rapidly and priorities evolve quickly.

Comfort operating in a technical environment.

You don't need to write code, but you should understand the basics of how engineering teams work — sprints, roadmaps, releases, and cross-team dependencies.

What helps you stand out:

Competitive salary and benefits package benchmarked to your location.

Equity in a rapidly growing company.

Opportunity to work in a fast-paced startup at the forefront of fintech innovation.

Opportunity to make a significant impact on global financial infrastructure.

Collaborative work culture with emphasis on personal and professional growth.

Competitive base salary benchmarked to Bangalore market rates, plus equity. We'll share specific ranges during the process.

We are looking for someone with 8+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant, with direct experience supporting C-suite or senior engineering/technology leaders at high-growth startups or fast-scaling technology companies.

You will be the CTO's primary point of operational support: managing his calendar, coordinating across engineering leads, preparing materials for technical reviews and planning sessions, tracking deliverables, and ensuring the operational machinery of the engineering organization runs smoothly.

The right person for this role has supported senior technology leaders at companies that were growing fast — where sprint cycles, technical roadmaps, and cross-functional dependencies are part of the daily landscape.

If your experience is primarily at large, stable corporations or in non-technical environments, this will feel very different.

Coordinate across engineering leads, product managers, and cross-functional stakeholders to ensure the CTO has the right context for every meeting.

Prepare agendas, pre-reads, and briefing materials for technical reviews, architecture discussions, planning sessions, and leadership meetings.

OpenFX is building next-generation cross-border payment infrastructure for institutions. We process billions in monthly payment volume across five jurisdictions and we're scaling fast. We've raised over $170M in venture capital, hold money transmission licenses in the US, and are actively pursuing regulatory authorizations in the EU, UK, UAE, Brazil, and beyond. Our team is ~100 people today across Bangalore, Amsterdam, London, Miami, and Dubai, and we expect to roughly double this year.

Our CTO leads the engineering and product organization, which is our largest team and is primarily based in Bangalore. As we scale our platform across new jurisdictions, payment rails, and product capabilities, the complexity of coordinating across engineering, product, infrastructure, and security is growing rapidly. We need an exceptional EA to be a force multiplier for the CTO.
