About this role
Role overview This role drives platform strategy for a SaaS company serving small service businesses, with a mandate to surface and untangle cross-team technical problems that no single squad owns. The position sits inside a Foundations group responsible for the core technologies every team ships on, including a design system, web and mobile platform, and shared tooling. The work blends architecture, prototyping, and organizational influence, with mobile as the likely first priority area and an expectation to push AI-assisted engineering practices org-wide.
Responsibilities - Drive technical decisions behind org-wide initiatives, documenting trade-offs and rationale and carrying them from proposal to adoption. - Research emerging technologies, prototype new approaches, and write design documents that shape direction before work hits any team's roadmap. - Deliver high-quality, well-structured code and raise the bar through mentorship and example. - Use agentic AI tools as a core part of the workflow and push the company's internal AI engineering platform forward for the wider organization. - Translate complex technical problems into language that suits engineering, product, and leadership audiences. - Tackle current priorities such as extending offline support across the mobile app, replacing third-party end-to-end testing with an in-house system, migrating mobile to Expo, and scaling AI-assisted development.
Requirements - Track record of driving technical initiatives across multiple teams, including winning support from leadership and peers and landing lasting outcomes. - Deep technical judgment demonstrated through architecture, trade-off decisions, and attention to detail. - Experience with web and mobile platform engineering, including modern frameworks and shared tooling. - Hands-on familiarity with AI-assisted or agentic development practices and how to scale them across an organization. - Ability to mentor engineers and influence technical direction without direct authority over other teams.
Benefits and work setup - Total compensation including extended health benefits with fully paid premiums, retirement savings matching, and stock options. - Three weeks vacation plus birthday off and parental leave top-ups. - Dedicated talent development support including career coaching and learning programs. - Remote-friendly culture with opportunities to innovate and grow professionally.
