🎯 Role Overview

We are a UK-based SaaS company powering online ordering, POS, and mobile apps for restaurants and takeaways. We already serve 1200+ clients on our legacy platform and are migrating to a modern Python-Django, React, Flutter, microservices stack hosted on OVH Cloud.

We’re looking for a hands-on Senior Architect/Lead based in India (preferably Kerala) who can:

• Audit and stabilize our current build,

• Deliver MVP in weeks, not months,

• And evolve into the future CTO of the company.

This role is high-impact: you’ll work closely with the UK leadership team and lead a growing India-based engineering group.

🛠️ Key Responsibilities

• Architecture & Ownership

• Review and refactor existing codebase (Django backend, Flutter apps, React admin).

• Define clean architecture, APIs, and service boundaries.

• Simplify into a stable MVP (modular monolith first, microservices later).

• 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.

• Leadership

• Act as technical counterpart to business leadership in the UK.

• Build and lead a strong India-based engineering team as we scale.

✅ Required Skills & Experience

• 7–10 years professional development experience, with at least 3 years leading teams or projects.

• Strong hands-on expertise in:

• Python-Django (backend, APIs, ORM, migrations)

• Flutter (cross-platform apps)

• 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

Send CV + GitHub/LinkedIn. In your cover note, describe:

• A time you had to rescue a struggling project.

• Your experience with Django + Flutter + React in one product.

• Why you’d want to grow into CTO responsibilities.
