Key Responsibilities
Strategy, R&D & Implementation

Governance & Infrastructure
- Own and implement standards for cybersecurity and data privacy.
- Manage our cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure), balancing security, reliability, and performance with cost-efficiency and ensuring we meet local data residency laws.
- Lead technical vendor management and build strategic partnerships with major tech companies and research institutions.

- 5-7 years of experience in senior technical leadership roles (CTO, VP of Engineering, or Head of Engineering), with a proven track record of delivering projects, scaling digital products, and building resilient, efficient systems and platforms.
- Deep understanding of modern solution and platform architecture practices, project delivery methodologies, experience with Automation and modern AI (LLMs, agentic workflows), Data Science, and Big Data infrastructure (Data Lakes, ETL), knowledge and experience working with hyperscalers and modern PaaS and SaaS solutions
- Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field degree is preferred; however, extensive experience in technical architecture and engineering disciplines will be considered as a primary factor.
