Overview
You need senior technology leadership — but a full-time CTO costs upwards of $300k a year and months of searching to find. A virtual CTO gives you that leadership on demand: someone to own technology strategy, align your engineers with the business, and make the architecture and hiring calls that keep you moving forward.
MyTechTeam provides virtual and managed CTO services to Australian founders, boards, and management teams. We sit in the gap between management, stakeholders, and your technical teams — so decisions get made, roadmaps stay on track, and your developers stay pointed at the work that matters.
Acted as CTO in the gap between the CEO and the software development manager, working with senior development teams to deliver new infrastructure, development pipelines, CI/CD, and an application framework — plus ongoing leadership and support for key stakeholders.
Outcome New infrastructure, CI/CD, and an application framework — with steady leadership between the board and engineering.
Problems We Solve
Leadership
You have developers and IT staff, but nobody in the management team who can get those teams working together and driving the business forward.
Strategy
You need a clear technology roadmap — what to build, what to buy, and what to fix first — backed by proven approaches instead of guesswork.
Mentoring
Your senior developers need someone to coach them, review their decisions, and lift the whole team through mentor-led support.

What a Typical Engagement Looks Like
A common engagement starts with a technology and team review, then a prioritised roadmap the board can sign off on.
From there we run architecture and hiring decisions, coach your senior developers, and report progress in fortnightly or monthly cycles — scaling our time up during critical projects and down once the team can carry the work.
FAQs
It flexes to what you need — from a few days a month for strategy and oversight, up to near full-time during a critical build, migration, or fundraise. We agree the cadence up front and adjust as priorities change.
We have extensive experience with Linux, Unix and related technology solutions. So if you're running PHP, Python, Go or Ruby on a Linux infrastructure, we can help.
We also work extensively with Atlassian tools, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for infrastructure, plus a range of open-source tools.
Definitely! A virtual CTO leads and supports your current team rather than replacing it — setting direction, unblocking decisions, and mentoring your senior engineers.
With that said, we can assist in hiring or temporary development services to backfill or prioritise any project requirements.
Both. We can lead a specific initiative — a rebuild, a migration, a hiring round — or provide ongoing CTO-level leadership as a standing part of your management team.
