Responsibilities
- Own the technology strategy and execution roadmap across backend and frontend, ensuring delivery predictability, quality, and performance.
- Lead and develop engineering leaders and teams (hiring, onboarding, goal setting, performance management, coaching, and career ladders).
- Drive architecture and engineering standards for our stack: Node.js (latest LTS), NestJS, pnpm, esbuild on the backend; React, Vue 3, Vite, pnpm on the frontend (with strong typing practices and modern engineering standards).
- Build an AI-native engineering culture: identify and deliver high-impact AI use cases, set patterns for safe AI adoption, and define developer workflows for rapid iteration with appropriate governance.
- Own edge and security posture with Cloudflare (WAF, DDoS, CDN, access controls as applicable), and ensure resilience, observability, and incident readiness.
- Raise security and compliance maturity: threat modeling, secure SDLC, dependency management, access control, secrets management, vulnerability remediation SLAs, and audit readiness.
- Establish modern engineering operations: delivery metrics, technical debt management, CI/CD expectations, release management, and post-incident reviews.
Requirements
- Proven experience in a senior technology leadership role, owning outcomes across multiple teams.
- Distributed systems / event-driven architecture / Kafka / microservices + contract & version governance.
- Strong hands-on background with modern backend development, including Node.js in production environments; NestJS experience strongly preferred.
- Experience leading frontend engineering in a modern framework.
- Solid understanding of modern build and tooling practices (e.g., pnpm, esbuild, Vite ecosystem), performance tuning, and developer experience.
- Demonstrated ability to deliver AI-native products and/or platforms, including practical experience with LLM-enabled workflows and safe adoption patterns.
- Working knowledge of Cloudflare services and edge/security concepts (WAF, CDN, DDoS protection, access controls) and ability to incorporate them into a secure architecture.
- Strong security mindset and experience improving security maturity (secure SDLC, risk management, incident response, and stakeholder communication).
- Excellent communication: ability to present clearly to executives, align cross-functional teams, and make pragmatic decisions under ambiguity.
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with Claude Code or comparable AI-assisted engineering workflows.
