Accountabilities You will take ownership of customer-facing technical initiatives while ensuring that the solutions developed contribute to the long-term strength of the core platform. Your responsibilities will include:

• Lead the design, development, and implementation of new features for the core SaaS platform, prioritizing reusable capabilities over customer-specific solutions.

• Design and deliver production-ready integrations and workflows that address complex customer requirements.

• Lead technical workshops with customer stakeholders to understand business needs and define future-state architecture and solutions.

• Write high-quality, type-safe, maintainable code using TypeScript and modern React and Next.js development patterns.

• Identify recurring customer challenges and translate them into scalable product features in collaboration with product and engineering teams.

• Prevent unnecessary customization by recognizing common requirements and incorporating them into the platform's core technical direction.

• Contribute to continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD), testing, and performance monitoring to maintain reliable and stable releases.

• Take end-to-end ownership of deployments, proactively identifying technical bottlenecks and resolving issues.

• Collaborate with customers as a technical partner while remaining accountable for delivery and implementation outcomes.

• Mentor engineering teammates and promote best practices that improve code quality, collaboration, and overall team performance.

• The ability to design solutions with long-term scalability and reuse in mind, anticipating how customer-specific needs can benefit the wider product.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts, lead discussions, and act as a trusted customer partner.

• A high degree of autonomy, initiative, and ownership, including the ability to identify problems and deliver solutions without waiting for detailed instructions.
