  • Technical Audits and Assessments: Conduct comprehensive system audits and provide detailed recommendations for improvement.

Engineering Leadership Aspects:

  • Partner with the Senior Leadership Team, particularly the CTO, to ensure engineering teams adopt programming languages and frameworks that align with technical strategy.
  • Foster a strong engineering culture of innovation and collaboration through communities of practice, hackathons, and knowledge sharing.
  • Hire, mentor, and retain top engineering talent, ensuring their professional growth.
  • Oversee project timing and estimation, participate in business pitching, and respond to tenders.
  • Regularly review and identify gaps in technical capability, ensuring the team has a clear path to mastering new skills.
  • Establish and enforce best practices, standards, and processes for software development.
  • Effectively communicate the engineering vision, strategy, and progress to the senior leadership team.


Technical Skills and Expertise:

  • Experience with Inviqa’s core software engineering stack: ReactJS, NextJS, Remix, Node (Express), Python (Django, Flask), AWS & Azure Administration.
  • A vocal advocate for adopting a modern, future-fit tech stack aligned with company goals.
  • At least 5 years in senior engineering leadership with a proven track record of delivering successful projects in a fast-paced, agile environment.
  • Experience in eCommerce (Shopify), modern headless CMS (ContentStack), and Product Information Management (Akeneo) is highly desirable.
  • Strong background in software architecture, engineering processes, and development standards.
