Descripción de la vacante

SAMY Latam in Bogotá is seeking a senior developer/architect to lead the development and QA teams on a large-scale digital platform modernization, migrating a headless Next.js + CMS stack onto Vercel while coordinating a personalization/experimentation build.

You will own technical oversight, run project plans, and guide client-facing architecture discussions with leadership and an implementation partner, upholding performance, security, and privacy standards.

Formación

• 7+ years in full-stack development or software architecture with hands-on experience in Vercel, Next.js/React, headless CMS, GraphQL, and Postgres.
• Experience leading development and QA teams, setting technical standards, reviewing implementations, and owning acceptance criteria and deliverable quality.
• Experience in technical project management, including planning, tracking, risk management, and stakeholder communication. Linear experience is a plus.
• Knowledge of QA, testing, performance, observability, disaster recovery, security, and privacy, ideally with OneTrust and GDPR/CCPA knowledge.
• Experience migrating or re-architecting high-traffic production systems, particularly in cloud/edge environments. Cloudflare Workers and AWS are a plus.
• Knowledge of personalization, experimentation, CDP/identity systems, or Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a plus.
• Experience working with clients, agencies, and external teams, with fluent English and strong communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to work effectively in ambiguous, fast-paced, and cross-functional environments, making technical decisions and translating architectural trade-offs into business needs.

Responsabilidades

• Lead both the development and QA teams across the full engagement — assigning work, reviewing implementation, setting the technical and quality bar, and acting as the escalation point across all workstreams.
• Own project management for the initiative: maintain the project plan and timeline, run weekly reviews, and report status and risk to stakeholders.
• Direct QA and acceptance testing for the Payload-on-Vercel migration build (cold-start/connection-pool behavior, Jobs Queue rebuild, bulk-operation limits) — the build is executed by another party; this role owns sign-off.
• Direct QA across the entire initiative — every workstream in the migration and personalization build passes through development and QA review before it's considered done.
• Define and validate performance budgets for the new architecture (TTFB, LCP, INP, CLS, personalization latency) and test the Vercel build under simulated peak traffic.
• Decide and stand up observability tooling — infrastructure monitoring, uptime checks, and application performance/error tracking — instrumented on Vercel from day one.
• Own disaster-recovery design and testing for the new Vercel/Neon topology.
• Support cost modeling — projecting Vercel usage cost at steady-state and traffic-spike volume against a proposed dollar ceiling.
• Co-lead security and privacy validation alongside client stakeholders.
• Partner with the client's UX/UI implementation team on caching correctness during migration.
• Act as direct technical point of contact with client-side engineering and product leadership, translating architecture tradeoffs into business terms.
