Ready for a career upgrade?
We’re continuing to scale our platform across new brands, markets, and jurisdictions, and we’re looking for a Head of Engineering, Core Platform to define and drive the technical strategy, architecture, and engineering standards for an ecosystem of 200+ microservices. In this role, you’ll report directly to the Head of Product and be responsible for the technical health, architectural direction, and engineering excellence of the platform across 6+ engineering teams (40+ specialists, including architects, Tech Leads, Backend, Frontend, and QA Engineers).
Your mission is to build and evolve the technical foundation that enables delivery: defining the platform architecture, establishing engineering standards and best practices, managing technical debt, and shaping the long-term technical strategy.
You’ll work closely with the SRE team, Delivery Managers, and Product organization, while serving as the single point of accountability for the platform’s technical direction.
What you’ll be doing
— Own and drive the technical strategy and architectural vision for a platform consisting of 200+ microservices;
— Make key architectural decisions and ensure their consistent implementation across multiple engineering teams.
— Maintain clear visibility into the platform’s architectural and technical debt, while defining and executing a realistic, prioritized roadmap for addressing it;
— Define and evolve platform-wide engineering standards, including service design, API contracts, data ownership, and inter-service communication patterns;
— Design APIs with a deep understanding of consumer needs, ensuring they effectively support SPA, SSR/Node.js, and Mobile applications.;
— Own and champion the platform’s non-functional requirements, including performance, scalability, reliability, security, and compliance;
— Establish and continuously improve engineering standards across the organization, including code quality, testing strategies, code reviews, observability, and release practices;
— Define and govern the architecture governance framework, ensuring architectural proposals are documented, reviewed, approved, and consistently tracked across engineering teams;
— Drive comprehensive platform documentation, including architecture overviews, service catalogs, runbooks, and Architecture Decision Records (ADRs);
— Continuously improve the developer experience (DevEx) and engineering productivity by optimizing platform tooling, workflows, and development practices;
— Partner closely with DevOps and SRE teams to drive platform reliability, observability, infrastructure roadmap planning, and incident response;
— Align the technical strategy with the product roadmap in collaboration with Delivery Managers and Product leadership, ensuring architectural decisions are driven by business value rather than engineering elegance;
