• Own the system design on our biggest projects. You're working on major new features — not picking up a ticket, but writing the technical spec, presenting the architecture, getting alignment, and driving it to production. And working on it with the team in a state they can own. • Lead our multi-tenant evolution. Today each customer gets their own workspace. As we grow, we're building support for organisations that need to manage multiple sub-tenants — think a holding company overseeing compliance across several subsidiaries, or a consultancy managing certifications for a portfolio of clients. You'll design the architecture that makes that possible cleanly and at scale. • Build our first AI product. We're moving from "we use AI in our tooling" to "we ship AI to customers." This is a meaningful shift — and one of the most technically interesting challenges we've faced. You'll help define what that looks like and lead the backend architecture that makes it real. • Lay the foundations for agentic AI. Longer-term, we're building towards AI that can autonomously run compliance workflows. The technical decisions made now will define how we get there. You'll be making them. • Bring AI-assisted engineering to the whole team. You're genuinely curious about how AI tooling is changing the way we build — and you share that curiosity openly. You try new tools, figure out what actually works, and bring the rest of the team along with you. Not through formal sessions, but through the natural back-and-forth of working together day to day. • Grow alongside the team. You care about the engineers around you. You review system designs thoughtfully, give real feedback on code, and help people work through hard problems — not by taking over, but by thinking out loud with them. Everyone gets better together.
