Start Date: ASAP
Employment Type: Full-time, Direct Hire

About the Role

We're looking for a hands-on engineering leader to own a full-scale platform rearchitecture and AI transformation as we enter our next phase of product-led growth (PLG).

This is not a maintenance role. You'll lead all of engineering, own system architecture end-to-end, and guide a transition from legacy systems into a modern, AI-enabled, microservices-based platform.

You'll partner closely with the SVP of Product to make the organization AI-forward by design—from how we build software to how the product delivers value to customers.

Why This Role Exists

We are actively replatforming:

  • Moving from legacy technologies (including VB.NET) to modern .NET architecture
  • Evolving toward a microservices-based system
  • Embedding AI-assisted development and AI-driven product capabilities across the stack

We need a leader who has done this before—not just managed teams, but personally driven architectural transformation in a PLG environment.

What You'll Own

Architecture & Platform Transformation

  • Own the end-to-end architecture of the platform
  • Lead a full replatforming effort (legacy → modern .NET, monolith → microservices)
  • Make high-impact decisions on system design, scalability, and long-term technical direction
  • Ensure the platform supports a self-serve, PLG-driven product experience

AI Transformation

  • Define and execute an AI-forward engineering strategy
  • Drive adoption of AI tools across the development lifecycle
  • Explore and implement AI agents and workflows to improve engineering output and product capabilities
  • Partner with Product to embed AI into the customer experience and core product flows

Product & PLG Execution

  • Partner with Product and UX to build and optimize self-service user journeys
  • Ensure systems support subscription workflows, payments, onboarding, and conversion funnels
  • Translate business goals into focused, high-impact engineering initiatives

Team Leadership & Execution

  • Lead all engineering (onshore offshore teams)
  • Act as a player-coach—comfortable going deep technically when needed
  • Improve offshore team effectiveness (scope clarity, delivery quality, feedback loops)
  • Build and scale a lean, high-performing team

Technology & Spend Ownership

  • Own decisions across cloud (Azure), tooling, and vendor ecosystem
  • Evaluate and optimize engineering spend
  • Balance speed, scalability, and cost with strong business judgment

Who You Are (Must-Haves)

  • 10–15 years in engineering, with experience at Director / Head / VP level
  • Proven track record leading a major replatforming or system transformation
  • Deep experience in Microsoft stack (Azure, .NET), including modernization from legacy systems (e.g., VB.NET → modern .NET)
  • Strong architecture expertise—you've owned and redesigned complex systems
  • Experience building or evolving microservices-based architectures
  • Hands-on experience with AI in engineering (e.g., AI-assisted development, AI agents, or similar transformation work)
  • Strong understanding of PLG models and self-service product design
  • Experience building systems that support subscriptions, payments, and customer lifecycle workflows
  • Experience leading multiple teams, including offshore teams
  • Willingness and ability to remain hands-on during a transformation phase

Ideal Background

  • Experience in subscription-based, SaaS, or e-commerce environments
  • Background in smaller or growth-stage companies
  • Experience working on CRM-like systems or customer lifecycle platforms
  • Familiarity with mobile ecosystems (iOS/Android), especially modernization efforts (Objective-C/Java → Swift/Kotlin)
This role is best suited for someone who has:
  • Successfully led a platform transformation in a PLG company
  • Applied that experience in a new domain or industry
  • Combined deep architectural ownership hands-on execution
  • Actively leveraged AI to change how teams build and ship software

First 90 Days

Month 1

  • Assess architecture, team, and current platform constraints
  • Build trust with engineering (onshore offshore) and product leadership
  • Identify highest-risk areas in the current system

Month 2

  • Define initial replatforming strategy and priorities
  • Align with leadership on PLG roadmap AI strategy
  • Begin implementing improvements in team execution and tooling

Month 3

  • Deliver early wins in architecture, velocity, or cost efficiency
  • Establish a clear 6-month transformation roadmap
  • Show measurable progress in AI adoption and engineering output

How We Work

  • Small, highly autonomous team
  • Focus on pragmatic, high-impact decisions
  • Value clear thinking, strong writing, and consistent shipping
  • Treat AI as a core competitive advantage, not an experiment
