## About the Role

· 10-15 years of professional industry experience with software development and platform management, with deep, hands-on knowledge of designing, building and operating large-scale platforms
· 5 years of leading teams of six or more software developers
· 3 years of demonstrating technical leadership across multiple platforms
· Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field
· Deep expertise in modern cloud platforms (Azure preferred) and in designing API-first, event-driven and data integration solutions that operate reliably at enterprise scale
· Experience designing software for extensibility and localization, such as configuration-driven, multi-tenant or multi-market architectures, so that solutions built for one market can be extended to serve others
· Proven track record defining technical standards and reference architectures that partner organizations and teams genuinely adopt, and influencing without direct authority across engineering, product and business teams
· Strong DevOps, CI/CD, observability and reliability engineering practice
· Experience working across multiple markets or regions and with distributed teams across time zones
It would be great if you also bring:
· Experience taking a technology capability built for one market and scaling it across multiple countries or business units, including making the commercial case for adoption with partners such as licensees or franchisees
· A track record of replacing fragmented, manually collected data with automated ingestion and reporting that leaders across a large organization actually use to make decisions
· Comfort operating in a landscape that blends in-house platforms with third-party and SaaS solutions, and making pragmatic build-versus-buy calls that balance global consistency with local commercial reality
· An understanding of store, retail or hospitality technology and what it takes to land a global capability in a local market
