- Serve as the final technical authority in critical design and delivery discussions.
- Oversee technical execution, ensuring quality, scalability, and maintainability of solutions.
- Monitor project health, proactively identifying risks and ensuring successful outcomes.
- Participate in technical stack reviews, architectural decisions, and design phases.
- Ensure effective financial oversight, managing project burn-down and revenue opportunities.
- Drive a culture of continuous improvement, staying ahead of industry trends and best practices.
- Act as a thought leader in the industry through speaking engagements, blog writing, and mentorship.
- Champion Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and sustainability initiatives within Nearform.
- Engage in technical community building, contributing to open-source projects or internal knowledge sharing.
Qualifications
- 15+ years of technical leadership experience, ideally within consulting, SaaS, or large-scale digital transformation projects.
- Deep expertise in software architecture, cloud platforms, and modern development practices.
- A strong track record of guiding technical decisions on complex, high-impact projects.
- Experience leading pre-sales, discovery, and solution design discussions.
- Strong ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
- A consultative mindset, able to align business needs with technical strategies.
- Strong stakeholder management and negotiation skills to influence at all levels.
- Hands-on experience with AI, databases, distributed systems, and modern software engineering best practices.
- Experience leading and mentoring senior software development teams.
- A passion for continuous learning, innovation, and professional excellence.
