Team & environment

You'll lead a lean, high-output org around 10 developers mixed with frontend, backend, ML and QA. We're remote and move fast.

What you'll do

1. Enterprise platform architecture (foundations + technical strategy)

• Define and evolve the target architecture for a scalable SaaS platform (availability, performance, cost, and maintainability).

• Build enterprise-ready foundations: reliability, observability, incident response, data governance, access control, auditability, and operational maturity.

• Set clear technical standards: service boundaries, API contracts, data architecture, testing strategy, CI/CD, release practices, and rollback strategy.

• Establish a pragmatic roadmap for platform modernization without slowing feature delivery.

2. Engineering execution (accountability, aggressive deadlines, unblocking)

• Turn company goals into a delivery machine: clear priorities, scoped milestones, strong ownership, and consistent shipping cadence.

• Build and run execution rituals: planning, estimation, weekly delivery checkpoints, tech reviews, postmortems, and quality gates.

• Identify bottlenecks early (people/process/tech) and unblock quickly—especially cross team dependencies between engineering, design, and GTM.

• Raise the engineering bar: code review culture, system design quality, testing discipline, and operational excellence.

• Own staffing plans: hiring, onboarding, performance management, leveling, and growth paths for engineers and tech leads.

3. Cross-functional leadership & communication

• Translate business priorities into technical plans that the CEO and non-technical stakeholders can trust.
  Communicate trade-offs clearly (speed vs. correctness, cost vs. scale, build vs. buy).

• Build a high-trust culture across a distributed team with strong written documentation and crisp decision-making.

What we're looking for

• Proven CTO / VP Eng / Head of Engineering experience scaling a SaaS product from an early stage toward enterprise-ready.

• Strong architecture judgment across: distributed systems, backend services, data pipelines, security, reliability, and cloud infrastructure.

• Track record of shipping under aggressive deadlines while improving quality and predictability.

• Exceptional people leadership: hiring, coaching, accountability, and building a high performing, low-politics culture.

• Fluent English (spoken + written) for leadership communication, documentation, and working with global customers/partners.

Nice to have

• Experience in ad-tech / marketing tech, creative tooling, analytics, or workflow platforms.

• Background working with ML/AI product teams (LLMs, creative generation, MLOps).

What We Offer

• Fully remote environment with flexible schedule.

• Opportunity to work with cutting-edge GenAI video technology in a fast-growing company.

• Collaborative, inclusive culture with a small team and high ownership.

• Competitive compensation and benefits package.

• Strong opportunities for professional growth and development.
