About the job
At Vilgain, we believe that a top-tier product requires equally exceptional systems. We are experiencing a remarkable growth rate of 100% year-on-year, and to sustain this momentum, we need engineering that is world-class both technologically and procedurally. We develop everything in-house: from our e-shop and mobile applications to comprehensive systems for production, warehouses (WMS), and branches.
We are on the lookout for a hands-on Chief Technology Officer (CTO) who will serve as the technical heart of our company. We need someone who can provide clear direction for our development, set high standards for technical excellence, and act as a partner to our Tech Leads and business teams.
Your Role and Responsibilities
Audit and Architecture: You will conduct a thorough audit of the current architecture and codebase, identify weaknesses, and propose solutions for improvement.
Process Implementation: You will professionalize our engineering processes, setting control mechanisms and quality standards for development.
Monitoring & Observability: You will ensure we have real-time insights into the stability and performance of all our systems.
Decision-Making: As the primary technical stakeholder, you will make critical decisions regarding what to build, how to scale, and how to effectively address technical debt in alignment with business goals.
You will report directly to the CEO.
You will oversee the entire engineering team; Tech Leads and developers from all teams (Backend, Frontend, Mobile, IS, QA) will report directly to you.
Proof of Excellence
Hands-on Approach: You are not just a theoretical manager; you understand how things are done in practice and can dive in and work on tasks when necessary.
Technological Stack: Our core runs on PHP, so you must have senior-level expertise in it. Familiarity with modern Python or JavaScript is also valuable.
