• Drive innovation in AI integration, automation and system performance
• Mentor engineers and contribute to long-term technical planning

• Experience in a lead or senior role within a startup or fast-moving tech environment
• Excellent problem-solving skills and a proactive, collaborative mindset

What's on Offer
