We are looking for – Technology Director

Scroll if your are interested

When questions don’t come up in silos, how could the answers? At Mito, we’ve been dreaming up and developing clever things for close to two decades now. Whether that means rethinking and revamping the digital ecosystem of an enterprise or crafting future-proof solutions to tackle complex business challenges, our team of 240-ish people is always hungry for the best solution. We do this for clients across Europe and beyond, in industries ranging from banking and aviation to e-commerce. But to keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible, we need a visionary leader to steer our ship (or rocket, or other cool object that can be steered) in terms of the technologies we utilize and how we do that. That’s where you come in.

In a nutshell:

Right now, we’re in the middle of transforming the way we work to be able to satisfy our clients' needs even better (not that they were complaining, but you can always improve, can’t you?). You will be joining the Capability Team within Mito, leading the technology area that consists of a diverse team of developers and testers delivering solutions, platforms, applications, and tools for clients in aviation, telco, lottery, and other exciting industries. Their scope ranges from smaller, but also super-important campaign development to huge (absolutely humongous) program delivery.

What We Offer

Hybrid Work & Flexibility: We work in a hybrid setup with 2-3 mandatory office days – you’re free to work from home whenever it suits you. When we do gather, our cozy downtown Budapest office offers a relaxed, welcoming vibe – with unlimited coffee, fresh fruit and veggies to keep you fueled.

Performance Bonus Eligibility: We value high impact. You’ll be eligible for a performance-based bonus that rewards your individual contributions and our collective success.

Dog-Friendly Office: Bring your four-legged friend along—we love dogs in the office, and they’re always welcome as part of the team!

Work from Abroad: Need a change of scenery? You can work remotely from abroad for a limited time each year—or escape to the Hungarian countryside or Lake Balaton for a peaceful workweek close to nature.

Cutting-Edge Tools & Setup: You get to choose the gear that works best for you—Mac or Windows, it's your call. We also provide extra monitors to support a smooth, ergonomic workflow if you need them.

Meaningful Projects, Global Impact: Work with diverse teams on international projects that shape travel, tech, and creative communication across the globe.

Smooth Onboarding & Dedicated Support: Start strong with a structured onboarding plan and a personal buddy to guide you through your first weeks.

Continuous Learning & Growth: Coaching, training, conferences, and mentoring—plus clear career paths and internal opportunities to gain new skills and take the next step in your journey.

Extra Time Off: Our “Level Up” program rewards your loyalty with additional paid vacation days as your journey with us continues.

Team Spirit & Shared Experiences: From local and international team buildings to seasonal parties and creative internal events, you’ll find community and connection.

Health & Lifestyle Benefits: Enjoy a yearly personal budget for sports, education, or commuting. You’ll also have access to comprehensive annual preventive health screenings.

Family-Friendly Environment: We support working parents with initiatives like our in-house kids’ day camp—a fun, week-long program to keep your little ones engaged during school breaks.

What you’ll do

  • Vision and Roadmap: You own the technological vision. You’ll define a clear roadmap and consistently lead the organization in that direction, finding the sweet spot between modernization ambitions and the reality of legacy systems.
  • Building a Future-Proof Org: We don't just write code; we build capabilities. You’ll proactively adopt relevant innovations (like, surprise: gen AI) into our daily workflows and champion a platform mindset through reusable internal tools and PoCs. We expect you to build a strong, competence based center of excellence.  
  • Business Accelerator: You’ll act as an enabler for other internal departments, allowing them to operate faster and better. You’ll establish strong IT standards and scalable development practices that empower the whole company.
  • Leadership and Culture: You are the authentic representative of Mito’s values and professional culture, although at this point you probably have no idea what they are, but we assure you, they’re both nice and awesome. You won’t just delegate; you’ll mentor. You’ll strengthen an "ownership" culture and break down silos between teams.
  • Partner in Crime: You’ll maintain a close and effective relationship with your peers leading other competence areas as well as client service, growth and business operation teams. You ensure our tech operations are in sync with financial discipline (like cash-flow) and legal compliance.
  • Operational Excellence: You’ll maintain clear structures and responsibilities, ensuring that capacity management is efficient and our quality control is transparent and measurable via KPIs.

What we expect from you:

  • Proven Track Record: You have 8–10 years of experience in the field, with at least 3 years in a senior leadership role, preferably within the agency or professional services world.
  • Language Skills: You are as fluent in English AND Hungarian as you are in technology — both in writing and during high-stakes negotiations.
  • Strategic Mindset: You can turn high-level corporate strategy into clear, actionable capability plans. You see the big picture but never lose your eye for precision.
  • Leadership Vibe: You have a calm, decisive presence and a healthy dose of diplomacy. You know how to provide constructive feedback and how to high-five the team after a win.
  • Business Savvy: You have high-level economic knowledge and a systems-thinking approach. You understand that tech and business goals must always walk hand-in-hand.
  • Independence: You are highly autonomous (definitely more than FSD) and pro-active, with the ability to identify emerging trends before they become mainstream.

You can score bonus points if you:

  • Have experience leading cross-country or large-scale digital transformation projects.
  • Are a pro at navigating the "escalation threshold" through effective delegation. 
  • Have a knack for building professional reputations that attract and retain top talent.

Ready to lead the future? If you have the skills to bridge the gap between complex tech and business growth, we’d love to meet you!
