This is the same situation I'm in, except that I'm at the beginning of my career as a developer (despite being 30+... took a detour through grad school). I feel like it's hard to know what's up, down, left, or right at a small company or startup.
For the most part, I get my projects done, start my own in areas where I know there is pain, and advocate for other projects/solutions when I think they're applicable but I'm too swamped with my own work.
It's an issue I've been meaning to bring up with my supervisor ("So just how do I fit in? What's next?"). Is a frank discussion with your CTO out of the question?
