The Tech Environment
The company's stack has evolved. Originally built on a Microsoft / C# / .NET foundation, the platform has transitioned to a more modern stack including: NestJS / NodeJS, Vue, Redis, SQL Server, Snowflake.

What matters most is engineering quality, architectural thinking, and leadership credibility, not a rigid checklist of frameworks.

- Significant experience in a SaaS or product-led environment
- Strong previous experience as a hands-on software engineer (C#/.NET or modern JS/TS stacks)
- Proven leadership of engineering teams
- Experience building and operating systems at scale
- A solid understanding of automated testing and QA practices
- Familiarity with modern DevOps approaches
- Strong interpersonal and collaboration skills
- The ability to quickly pick up new tools and solve complex problems
