The posting

WE ARE HIRING: Head of Engineering

Location: Colombo, Sri Lanka Employment Type: Full time Industry: AI / ERP Technology / Manufacturing Software

Role Overview

We are seeking a senior, hands-on Head of Engineering to own the technical architecture of an AI-driven ERP integration product and build alongside the engineering team.

This role is ideal for an architect-level engineer who still writes production code, leads by building, makes strong technical decisions, and can guide a fast-moving product from development into scalable production rollout.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the overall technical architecture across the entire product.
  • Make key architecture, integration, scalability, and technology decisions.
  • Write production code on a day-to-day basis and remain close to product delivery.
  • Lead the engineering team through hands-on technical contribution rather than delegation alone.
  • Design systems that integrate with external ERP and enterprise platforms.
  • Build scalable, repeatable integration patterns for manufacturing customers.
  • Support the development of AI-powered capabilities for inventory, finance, and cash-management use cases.
  • Lead architecture decisions for data flow, APIs, backend services, AI integration, system reliability, and deployment.
  • Work with modern AI, agentic tooling, and LLM-based integrations where required.
  • Set engineering standards across code quality, design practices, testing, reviews, and production readiness.
  • Define and implement AI-assisted development practices to improve engineering speed and quality.
  • Review code, guide technical design, and ensure maintainable engineering practices.
  • Align technical execution with the customer roadmap and business priorities.
  • Work closely with product, customer, and business stakeholders to convert requirements into practical technical solutions.
  • Ensure the product is built to support fast rollout, repeatability, reliability, and future scale.
  • Lead a flat, hands-on engineering team based in Colombo.
  • Mentor engineers while maintaining a strong builder mindset.
  • Troubleshoot complex technical problems across backend systems, integrations, databases, and AI workflows.
  • Support deployment, monitoring, performance optimization, and production issue resolution.
  • Drive continuous improvement in engineering processes, development workflows, and release practices.
  • Ensure the team ships reliable, high-quality software under real business deadlines.

Candidate Profile

  • Senior hands-on engineer with strong architecture ownership experience.
  • Proven experience as a Head of Engineering, Chief Architect, Technical Architect, Staff Engineer, Principal Engineer, Lead Engineer, or similar role.
  • Strong ability to write production-grade code while leading technical direction.
  • Strong expertise in Python, Java, and SQL.
  • Experience designing and building scalable backend systems and enterprise-grade software products.
  • Experience integrating with external systems, ERP platforms, enterprise platforms, APIs, or complex business applications.
  • Strong understanding of system architecture, distributed systems, data modelling, APIs, scalability, and performance.
  • Experience with modern AI tools, agentic workflows, LLM integration, or AI-enabled product development.
  • Proven track record of taking products from build stage into production and scaling them.
  • Experience working in fast-paced, early-stage, startup, or product-led environments.
  • Strong understanding of software engineering standards, code reviews, testing, CI/CD, and production-readiness practices.
  • Ability to make practical technical decisions that balance speed, quality, scalability, and customer requirements.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to simplify complex technical challenges.
  • Ability to work closely with product and business teams while staying deeply technical.
  • Strong leadership skills with the ability to guide a flat, hands-on engineering team.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain technical decisions clearly.
  • Comfortable working under deadlines and shipping reliable software quickly.
  • Builder mindset, strong ownership, high accountability, and willingness to stay close to the code.

Preferred Experience

  • Experience building AI products, ERP integrations, manufacturing technology, finance technology, or enterprise automation products.
  • Experience working with manufacturing companies or solving inventory, finance, cash-management, or operational workflow problems.
  • Experience with cloud platforms, DevOps practices, containerization, observability, and scalable deployment environments.
  • Experience using AI-assisted coding tools and introducing modern engineering workflows into development teams.
