## About the Role

* 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.

## Description

* 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.
