We’re looking for a hands-on Platform Lead to take end-to-end ownership of a complex ERP platform serving the flooring and broader trade industries.

This is a senior technical leadership role for someone who enjoys owning the entire system - not just one piece of it. You’ll lead architecture and technical decision-making, take ownership of cloud infrastructure and engineering delivery, remain hands-on with development, and help shape a lean, high-performing engineering team.

The platform is a large Type Script-based monorepo with 60+ backend modules, multiple frontend applications, shared libraries, complex ERP workflows, and significant accounting and inventory functionality. Your first priority will be completing knowledge transfer from the current international contractor team and becoming the person the business relies on when the platform needs to be understood, improved, or fixed.

• Own the technical platform end to end, including architecture, application development, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, reliability, and technical strategy
• Complete knowledge transfer from the current contractor team and quickly develop deep ownership of the system
• Make and drive architecture decisions across backend, frontend, infrastructure, data, and engineering standards
• Remain hands-on with development, with an expected balance of approximately 50% technical contribution and 50% leadership/strategy as the role matures
• Lead code reviews, mentor engineers, and help build a lean domestic, nearshore, or hybrid engineering team
• Own cloud architecture in AWS or Google Cloud
  , along with deployment, scalability, monitoring, and operational reliability
• Maintain and improve the CI/CD pipeline, with Git Lab experience strongly preferred
• Solve high-impact and complex platform issues across the application and infrastructure stack
• Partner with leadership on product priorities, technical strategy, and the platform roadmap
• Support customer and operational issues when deep platform expertise is required
• Leverage AI-assisted development and automation to improve engineering productivity and enable a small team to deliver outsized results

The current environment includes technologies such as Type Script, NestJS, Next.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Git Lab CI/CD, Sentry, and AI-assisted development workflows.

• Senior-level software engineering experience with ownership of complex, production-grade systems
• Strong experience owning a platform across application architecture, infrastructure, data, deployment, and reliability
• Hands-on cloud architecture experience with AWS or Google Cloud
• Experience owning and operating a full CI/CD pipeline in a cloud environment
• Strong Git Lab CI/CD experience or closely comparable experience
• Ability to work across backend, frontend, databases, cloud infrastructure, and Dev Ops
• Strong architectural judgment and the ability to make decisions and execute without excessive process or handoffs
• Experience leading and mentoring engineers while remaining hands-on technically
• A startup or bootstrap mindset and comfort operating with limited resources and high accountability

• Experience with ERP, financial systems, accounting, inventory, supply chain, or other complex multi-module business platforms
• Familiarity with double-entry accounting, ledgers, reconciliation, or financial data integrity
• Experience with Type Script, Node.js, NestJS, Next.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, or Kubernetes
• Experience with observability and quality tooling such as Sentry, Open Telemetry, Cypress,…
