You will oversee the full technology stack that underpins the products and platforms we take to market. This role requires a hands-on, solution-oriented leader with strong technical depth, a bias for action, and the ability to deliver results with creativity and efficiency not just through scale, but through smart decisions and thoughtful trade-offs.

We’re looking for someone with a rare mix of drive, humility, and multidimensional intelligence—someone who brings emotional insight, practical savvy, and technical excellence to the table.

  • Work closely with the Product, Sales, Business, and Customer Success teams to align technology with customer needs and business value.
  • Represent the technology function at the executive level, board meetings, and with external stakeholders (e.g., partners, investors).
  • Drive strategic initiatives that foster joint execution across business and technology domains.

    • 4. Team Building & Leadership

  • Lead and develop a world-class technology organization by hiring, mentoring, and retaining top talent.
  • Define and evolve the engineering organizational structure, career paths, and capacity planning.
  • Promote a culture of innovation, continuous learning, inclusion, and operational excellence.
  • Drive leadership succession planning and ensure timely hiring of key roles.

    • 5. Governance, Security, and Compliance

  • Own risk management, data governance, and cybersecurity strategies from a technology lens.
  • Ensure systems, platforms, and processes meet relevant compliance and regulatory standards (e.g., SOC2, GDPR).
  • Collaborate with legal, regulatory, and compliance leaders while driving technical implementation and enforcement.

    • What you’ll be needing :

  • Proven experience (10+ years) in senior technology leadership roles, including CTO or VP Engineering roles.
  • Deep technical background with hands-on understanding of modern technology stacks, cloud infrastructure, platform scalability, and data security.
  • Track record of driving large-scale engineering execution and transformation initiatives.
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills with business, product, and customer-facing functions.
  • Experience managing distributed teams and complex technology ecosystems.

    • Preferred :

  • Experience in Identity & Access Management, Telco solutions, or Public Sector technologies.
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks like SOC2, ISO 27001, and GDPR.
