About the role
- Define and enforce the technical vision and architectural roadmap across multiple product functions (mobile, scheduling, time/attendance, reporting, integrations).
- Modernize legacy components while ensuring continuity and stability for enterprise customers.
- Champion secure-by-design and performant systems; drive a shift to observability-first engineering.
- Establish a technical foundation for AI services, vector stores, data pipelines, and scalable inference infrastructure.
- Implement guardrails for responsible AI use: data privacy, model validation, auditability, and customer-facing transparency.
- Own predictable delivery—quarterly planning, execution, quality, and release cadence.
- Build and scale engineering processes that balance speed with stability (LEAN, CI/CD, trunk-based development, etc.).
- Reduce technical debt with a clear, measurable investment plan.
- Drive end-to-end delivery for AI features—from experimentation to product ionization—with clear KPIs and success metrics.
- Lead and grow a multi-disciplinary engineering organization (backend, frontend, mobile, QA).
