• Drive the technology strategy and architectural direction across projects. 

• Lead the technical side of client conversations and the sales process — talking solutions with the client's technical leaders, architecture reviews, solution design, pre-sales.

• Own how we use AI in development — the tools, standards, and practices for building with it well. 

• Be the main point of technical escalation across projects. 

• Evaluate and introduce technologies, tools, and practices that improve quality and speed. 

• Own technical risk: architecture, scalability, security, and technical debt. 

• Be the technical authority inside the team — set the example and raise the level of the engineers around you. 

• 8+ years in commercial software development, several of them in a technical leadership role (Tech Lead / Architect / Engineering Manager / CTO). 

• Strong software architecture background — able to balance maintainability, flexibility, testability, and time to market with modern architectural patterns. 

• Solid hands-on experience with Node.js, Python, and .NET, and sound architectural judgment across them. 

• A track record of making AI a real part of how engineering works, not a side experiment — and of pulling a team up to that level. 

• Experience with cloud and SaaS/PaaS platforms (AWS, Azure). 

• The technical depth and communication to discuss solutions with a client's CTO as an equal and represent our expertise convincingly — including hands-on solution architecture and pre-sales. 

• A natural authority inside the team — you motivate and lead by example. 

• Experience owning technical quality across multiple complex, high-value client projects at once. 

• Ownership and a responsible mindset, focused on outcomes.
