  • Defining and evolving Ekahau’s multi-year architectural roadmap, ensuring alignment with Ekahau’s business goals and long-term vision.

  • Act as a bridge between engineering teams, product stakeholders.
  • Elevate the technical bar by mentoring senior engineers and architects.
  • Identify system-wide risks and establish proactive practices to prevent technical debt and systemic failures.

  • Extensive experience in software development with a focus on architecting full-stack SaaS applications.
  • Expert level fluency in modern backend and cross-platform technologies (Java, Kotlin, Typescript, Postgres) and AWS ecosystem
  • Deep understanding of service-oriented and layered architectures and experience in evaluating and adopting new technologies based on business needs.
  • A collaborative leader who is hand-on, gets things done and can communicate technical plans and trade-offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Ability to balance immediate delivery needs with long-term architectural integrity.
  • 10+ years of relevant software development experience.
  • Background check is required

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
