About The Role
AllUp is looking for a Director of Technology who is deeply hands-on, technically strong, and confident representing technology in front of enterprise customers, partners, and internal stakeholders.
This is not a passive leadership role.
We are looking for a senior technologist and solution architect who has built and scaled SaaS platforms, led large engineering teams, and can clearly articulate architecture, AI decisions, and trade-offs at both technical and business levels.
Technology & Architecture
- Own and evolve AllUp s SaaS platform architecture.
- Design and review microservices-based systems that are scalable, secure, and reliable.
- Be hands-on with AWS architecture and cloud services.
- Lead architectural decisions across APIs, data, integrations, and platform scalability.
- Ensure high standards for code quality, performance, security, and observability.
Ai-Driven Product Development
- Contribute hands-on experience in building SaaS products using AI.
- Clearly explain previous AI use-cases, implementation choices, and real production outcomes.
- Partner with product and business teams to translate AI opportunities into real features.
Engineering Leadership
- Lead and scale engineering teams of 25+ people.
- Manage senior engineers and engineering managers.
- Establish strong engineering processes, accountability, and delivery discipline.
- Mentor future technical leaders.
Stakeholder & Customer Engagement
- Represent AllUp s technology confidently in front of:
- Customers
- Partners
- Internal stakeholders
- Explain complex technical topics in clear business language.
- Support enterprise sales and customer discussions when needed.
Problem Solving & Ownership
- Take full ownership of technical challenges from design to production.
- Be hands-on during complex issues or critical incidents.
- Drive solutions, not excuses.
Required Experience (Non-Negotiable)
- 5+ years leading technology teams in a SaaS company.
- Proven experience managing 25+ engineers.
- Strong background as a hands-on solution architect (not only people management).
- Solid experience with:
- Microservices architecture
- AWS (recent, hands-on projects)
- Demonstrated experience building or scaling SaaS products using AI.
- Excellent English communication skills (verbal and written).
- Confident, presentable, and stakeholder-ready.
What We Expect You To Share
- Previous companies you have worked with.
- Real examples of systems and AI products you helped build.
- Professional references.
- LinkedIn profiles of references for cross-verification.
