At R-LABS Canada Limited Partnership (“R-LABS”), we build purpose-driven companies to solve major problems in real estate and housing. We are launching our next innovative company, BlueChip Enable (currently in stealth mode). To do so, we need an innovative CTO to partner with us to take this venture to the next stage. This posting is not for an employment role at R-LABS, but an opportunity to co-create a new company created through our venture building model. Founders will act as Entrepreneurs in Residence (EIRs) until the new startup is incorporated. This is a hybrid role.
What we need:
- We are looking for a CTO who wants to build and scale a venture-backed technology platform.
- BlueChip Enable is a tech-enabled asset management and investment platform that empowers private property owners to unlock the latent potential of their real estate assets.
- The platform integrates multi-source property, zoning, valuation, and market data; performs scenario-based redevelopment and feasibility analysis; and enables institutional-grade underwriting, capital structuring, and investment participation workflows.
As CTO, you will:
- Architect the core technology platform.
- Design and implement core data pipelines.
- Lead AI and model development.
- Establish development standards and technical direction.
- Ensure platform reliability, security, and performance.
- Enable institutional-grade analysis workflows.
- Validate the product with early users and partners.
- Build and lead the engineering team.
- Represent the technical vision externally.
Technical Expertise you bring:
- Experience as a founder or engineering lead in AI-driven SaaS or PropTech/FinTech startups.
- Proficiency in machine learning for scenario analysis, valuation, or optimization models.
- Understanding of property appraisals, fund operations, or asset-management systems is a plus.
- Fluency with AWS ecosystem, Python/Node.js backends, React/Next.js frontends, and data pipelines.
- Track record of hiring and leading high-performance engineering teams.
- Ability to translate complex technical capabilities into commercial value for real estate stakeholders.
We welcome and appreciate candidates with a range of backgrounds and experiences, including women, persons with disabilities, Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC), the LGBTQ2SIA+ community, and other equity-seeking groups.
If you have 70% of the qualifications we are looking for, express your interest here. Please let us know what accommodations or assistance we can provide you during the application process by emailing stacy@rlabs.ca, and we will be happy to assist you.
What you can expect from our interview process:
- A virtual interview with a Talent Advisor to discuss your interest in joining BlueChip Enable as a CTO.
- A technical deep-dive session with the Head of Technology of R-LABS and technical advisors to discuss platform architecture and AI/ML approach.
- An in-person interview with the Managing Director of Ventures from R-LABS to explore technical vision and team fit.
- An opportunity to complete two assessments: Clifton Strengths to identify your natural talents and Kolbe to evaluate how you apply these strengths in action.
- Final in-person interviews with the CEO and Co-Founder of BlueChip Enable, and CEO and Founder of R-LABS, to address any remaining questions and finalize partnership terms.
