- Lead and optimise development processes, including project planning, delivery management, code quality, release management, and technical standards.
- Manage external development and DevOps partners by defining priorities, evaluating technical proposals and estimates, and ensuring delivery meets agreed quality, budget, and timeline expectations.
- Design, develop, and continuously improve scalable and reusable platform architecture to support new product lines, subscription services, and localised customer journeys.
- Lead technical decisions relating to architecture, integrations, infrastructure, databases, hosting, and development tools, balancing speed, scalability, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
- Oversee the reliability and performance of the technology stack, including infrastructure monitoring, alerting systems, incident management, and production stability.
- Manage recurring billing systems and payment service provider (PSP) integrations, optimising payment success rates, payment routing, and subscription management flows.
- Own the technical infrastructure supporting conversion funnels, including analytics, event tracking, advertising pixels, A/B testing capabilities, and data integrations.
- Develop prototypes and minimum viable products (MVPs) using AI-assisted development and rapid prototyping tools to validate new ideas before committing to full-scale development.
- Collaborate closely with growth and analytics teams to optimise acquisition performance, tracking systems, customer cohorts, and conversion funnels across platforms such as Meta, Google, and TikTok.
- Work alongside security specialists to strengthen access controls, infrastructure protection, and overall technical security.
- Analyse key business metrics, including conversion rates, customer retention, churn, and lifetime value (LTV), to guide decisions on scaling, optimising, or discontinuing products.
- Establish repeatable technical frameworks, operational processes, and launch playbooks to improve efficiency and accelerate future product development.
Requirements:
- At least 4 years of experience in technical leadership or technical product roles, such as CTO, Head of Engineering, Engineering Manager, Development Manager, or Technical Product Manager with a strong engineering or quality assurance background.
- Strong practical understanding of web technologies and development environments, including frontend and backend systems, APIs, integrations, databases, deployment processes, and infrastructure.
- Ability to critically assess technical proposals, identify potential issues, and make informed architectural and engineering decisions.
- Previous experience managing or closely supervising external development teams, technology vendors, or outsourced engineering partners.
- Proven experience launching digital products from the ground up, ideally within B2C, subscription-based businesses, mobile applications, gaming, e-commerce, or other performance-driven environments.
- Hands-on experience with recurring payment systems, payment service provider integrations, production monitoring, and incident management.
- Experience designing scalable platforms and shared technical architectures that support multiple products, markets, or languages.
- Good understanding of subscription business models, conversion optimisation, customer retention, churn, and unit economics, or a strong willingness to develop expertise in these areas.
- Familiarity with analytics, payment, and experimentation tools such as Stripe, Google Analytics 4 (GA4), Mixpanel, Amplitude, A/B testing platforms, and SQL.
- Strong daily proficiency in AI-powered development and analytical tools, including Claude Code, AI prototyping platforms, and LLM-based workflows.
- Excellent organisational and project management skills, with the ability to oversee multiple initiatives simultaneously and collaborate directly with executive leadership.
- Strong problem-solving, communication, and decision-making abilities, combined with a proactive, hands-on, and results-oriented mindset.
- Professional fluency in written and spoken English.
Additional advantages include experience working with paid acquisition teams and advertising tracking technologies, such as pixels, server-side events, and attribution systems; launching and localising products across multiple international markets; and auditing or restructuring existing technical infrastructures and external vendor relationships.
Benefits:
- Competitive compensation package based on experience and qualifications.
- Performance-based bonus system offering additional earning potential.
- Fully remote working arrangement with the flexibility to work from anywhere in the eligible European locations.
