Ready to build a legacy, not just a feature?

Imagine joining a thriving, high-growth company not to maintain the status quo, but to be the master architect of its highly promising future.

We are seeking a visionary engineering leader to partner with our CEO and take the technical infrastructure from its current stage to a platform capable of supporting exponential growth.

This is a rare opportunity to have the trust, the resources, and the strategic input to create something truly exceptional.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Taking full ownership of the technology strategy, roadmap, and architecture.
  • Designing and implementing the scalable systems and processes required to grow from 30 to 100+ employees.
  • Starting hands-on to master our current environment, then transitioning to lead high-level technical direction and, eventually, an on-shore team.
  • Acting as the key technical advisor to the executive team, making critical decisions that will shape the future of the company.
  • Planning and executing the transition from fully offshore development to a hybrid model, with a goal of building a 50% in-house team by 2027
  • Hiring, onboarding, and mentoring 4-5 engineers over the next 12 months

What you'll bring to the team:

  • Demonstrable experience as the key technical leader who has scaled a company through a significant growth phase.
  • A deep and pragmatic understanding of systems architecture, scalability, and modern engineering best practices.
  • Hiring, coaching, and growing engineering talent
  • Experience building APIs, scalable backend systems
  • DevOps, CI/CD, monitoring, and observability skills
  • Strong AWS systems design skills.
  • An inherent passion for building, problem-solving, and creating order from complexity.

What's on offer:

  • Amazing perks with a great team (leave, physical and mental health support, facilities, learning and development budget, sauna, premium coffee machines, office fruit deliveries, office parties etc. etc.)
  • A competitive executive salary and a significant, meaningful Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).
  • The autonomy to make your mark without the constraints of bureaucracy.
  • Start early, finish early - Hybrid: WFH 1 day per week.
  • A pivotal role in a passionate, high-energy team on a trajectory for massive success.
