  • Architect and scale an API-first integrations platform, enabling seamless connections with procurement, P2P, VMS, ERP, and HRIS systems alongside agent-to-agent (A2A/MCP) explorations.
  • Embed compliance by design across all markets, building worker classification safeguards, secure vaults, and custom contract capabilities directly into the product.
  • Act as the executive engineering voice in client face-offs, joining strategic sales deals, security reviews, and C-level conversations with CTOs, CIOs, and Procurement leaders.
  • Modernize back-office tools and operational workflows using AI and automation to lower our cost-to-serve and empower internal teams.

  • Track record in driving engineering execution and building high-trust, cohesive teams across distributed hubs.
  • English on a native level, with the confidence and technical stature to lead high-level discourse in front of enterprise decision-makers (CTOs, CIOs, CISOs, Procurement heads) and win complex RFPs across Enterprise and Public Sector accounts.
  • Deep architectural judgement in multi-tenancy, API integration patterns, and compliance-driven product design.
  • Strong leadership in driving AI transformation, managing exploratory bets (e.g., agentic workflows), and fostering cohesion across distributed European hubs.
