[Hiring] Tech Lead @Valsoft Corporation

Role Description

You’ll own the technical direction and lead the engineering team through a real modernization effort. The platform has a mature codebase and a large installed base, with many clients running customized on-premise environments. This isn’t a clean-slate rewrite. It’s an incremental transformation that has to keep things running while moving the architecture toward something modern and cloud-ready.

• Assess the current architecture and build a realistic modernization roadmap, prioritizing changes that deliver value without disrupting existing clients.
• Lead, mentor, and grow the engineering team. Set technical standards and build a culture where people take ownership of quality.
• Bring in automated testing, CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and observability. Lay the groundwork for faster, more reliable releases.
• Identify and lead AI initiatives across the development process and the product. This means both improving how the team works (code generation, test automation, workflow tooling) and building AI-powered features for our clients.
• Design systems that separate business logic from legacy components, support multi-tenant SaaS delivery, and give our web modules more independence.
• Develop strategies for gradual client migration, automated deployment, and reducing per-client maintenance overhead, all while keeping the system reliable.
• Work closely with product, operations, and professional services to make sure technical decisions line up with business priorities.

Qualifications

• Proven experience as a tech lead or senior engineering leader, with a track record of modernizing legacy systems or leading platform migrations in production environments with real users.
• Solid understanding of legacy-to-modern migration patterns (strangler fig, API layering, incremental decoupling) and the pragmatism to apply them where downtime and client disruption are not an option.
• Strong backend architecture skills. Experience designing scalable, maintainable systems with modern stacks (.NET/C#, Python, Node.js, Go, or similar) and cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
• Experience with SQL Server and relational database design, migration, and optimization.
• Hands-on experience introducing DevOps and CI/CD into teams or codebases that didn’t have them before.
• Practical AI experience. You’ve used AI tools in development workflows (code generation, testing, automation) or built AI-powered features, and you can evaluate new AI technologies and turn them into concrete initiatives for the team.
• Fluent in English and Spanish, written and spoken. Daily work happens in both.
• Available during Spanish business hours (CET/CEST). Remote is fine, but schedule overlap is required.
• Proactive. You spot what needs fixing before anyone asks, propose solutions, and follow through.

Requirements

• Catalan language skills.
• Experience with PHP/Laravel.
• Familiarity with Visual Basic 6.0 (VB6) or similar legacy desktop technologies.
• Experience with Windows Server environments and Remote Desktop Services (RDP) infrastructure.
• Experience with multi-tenant SaaS architecture and migrating on-premise clients to cloud-hosted models.
• Background in sports, fitness, or facility management.
• Experience running on-premise to cloud migration programs for a large client base.

Benefits

• This isn’t a maintenance job. You’d be reshaping an established platform that hundreds of sports facilities rely on, with real ownership of the technical direction.
• You’ll have backing from Manos Software and Valsoft to execute.
• We’re serious about bringing AI into both our development process and our product, and this role leads that effort.
• You’d be building on 30 years of market presence and a loyal client base, not starting from scratch.
• Compensation and benefits match the seniority and scope of the role.
