• Delivery Management

• Enforce agile sprints (2-week cycles).

• Set up CI/CD pipelines, test automation, QA cycles.

• Ensure smooth and secure deployments on OVH cloud.

• Hands-On Development

• Lead by example — write/refactor core backend/frontend code.

• Mentor and guide 3 in-house developers (transitioning from PHP/Opencart).

• Scaling & Future Roadmap

• Prepare system for multi-language support, payments, POS integrations.

• Define a 12–24 month tech roadmap aligned with business goals.

• Explore AI-assisted coding/testing to boost team productivity.

• React (admin dashboards)

• DevOps (CI/CD, Docker, cloud deployments)

• Proven track record of shipping SaaS products from MVP → production.

• Experience cleaning up/refactoring messy codebases.

• Ability to mentor mid-level and junior devs.

• Bonus: Experience with restaurant/retail tech, POS, or fintech/payments.

🚀 Desirable Traits

• Pragmatic “builder” mindset → knows how to cut complexity and ship fast.

• Hands-on problem solver, not just a PowerPoint architect.

• Ambition to grow into CTO role (lead a larger tech org, own platform strategy).

• Strong communicator — can bridge between UK business team and India dev team.

💼 What We Offer

• Competitive salary for senior-level (₹12 -  ₹18 lakhs INR / year depending on experience).

• Future CTO track opportunity.

• Chance to lead the rebuild of a SaaS platform already trusted by 1200+ businesses.

• Direct collaboration with UK leadership, high ownership and visibility.

📌 How to Apply
