We are looking for a hands-on technology leader and builder, not someone focused only on architecture or team management.

The successful candidate should be comfortable moving across the entire technology stack—from Angular/React UI and mobile applications to microservices, APIs, databases, and Google Cloud deployments.

You should be able to take a business requirement, understand the problem, design the technical solution, guide the implementation, contribute code when needed, and ultimately take ownership of getting the solution into production.

Experience working in a startup or fast-growing environment, where technology, processes, and architecture are still evolving, will be highly valuable.
