Ready to upgrade your career to being a Chief Technology Officer? Here is what is expected of a CTO in an early stage startup:

• Turn startup’s vision into product specifications and product roadmap
• Prioritize features to meet the startup’s objectives
• Choose ideal tech-stack to support the near-term (1-3 years) vision of the startup
• Learn new technology tools and grow the team as and when needed
• Build the backend architecture and API guidelines and ensure that the team follows it
• Be able to build the 1st version of the product if the situation demands it
• Lead the team by example. For e.g., if a developer is stuck, a CTO should sit along and help solve it
• Demonstrate a deep understanding of UI/UX, Databases and Web Architecture
• Be able to troubleshoot and solve any problem that comes along the way
• Ensure that the “Technical Debt” is at minimum or nil at any given time
