- Ensure sound architectural principles across the organisation, with a clear view of components, responsibilities, interfaces, and system interactions.
- Own DevOps and platform reliability: monitoring, incident response, and infrastructure capacity planning.
- Lead distributed team dynamics - hiring, onboarding, performance management, and retention across Norway, Poland, and India.
- Drive structured adoption of modern engineering practices, including AI-assisted development tooling, across the team.
- Act as a credible technical voice with Professional Services and Sales.
- Embed security and compliance into how the team designs, builds, and operates.
