• Manage recurring billing systems and payment service provider (PSP) integrations, optimising payment success rates, payment routing, and subscription management flows.
• Own the technical infrastructure supporting conversion funnels, including analytics, event tracking, advertising pixels, A/B testing capabilities, and data integrations.
• Develop prototypes and minimum viable products (MVPs) using AI-assisted development and rapid prototyping tools to validate new ideas before committing to full-scale development.
• Collaborate closely with growth and analytics teams to optimise acquisition performance, tracking systems, customer cohorts, and conversion funnels across platforms such as Meta, Google, and TikTok.
• Work alongside security specialists to strengthen access controls, infrastructure protection, and overall technical security.
• Analyse key business metrics, including conversion rates, customer retention, churn, and lifetime value (LTV), to guide decisions on scaling, optimising, or discontinuing products.
• Establish repeatable technical frameworks, operational processes, and launch playbooks to improve efficiency and accelerate future product development.

Requirements:

• At least 4 years of experience in technical leadership or technical product roles, such as CTO, Head of Engineering, Engineering Manager, Development Manager, or Technical Product Manager with a strong engineering or quality assurance background.
• Strong practical understanding of web technologies and development environments, including frontend and backend systems, APIs, integrations, databases, deployment processes, and infrastructure.
• Ability to critically assess technical proposals, identify potential issues, and make informed architectural and engineering decisions.
• Previous experience managing or closely supervising external development teams, technology vendors, or outsourced engineering partners.
• Proven experience launching digital products from the ground up, ideally within B2C, subscription-based businesses, mobile applications, gaming, e-commerce, or other performance-driven environments.
• Hands-on experience with recurring payment systems, payment service provider integrations, production monitoring, and incident management.
• Experience designing scalable platforms and shared technical architectures that support multiple products, markets, or languages.
• Good understanding of subscription business models, conversion optimisation, customer retention, churn, and unit economics, or a strong willingness to develop expertise in these areas.
• Familiarity with analytics, payment, and experimentation tools such as Stripe, Google Analytics 4 (GA4), Mixpanel, Amplitude, A/B testing platforms, and SQL.
