About the Client

Our client is a growing technology-driven campervan and vehicle rental business focused on building scalable systems, automating operations, and continuously improving both customer and internal experiences.

The business is progressively developing its own technology ecosystem, with the long-term goal of reducing reliance on third-party platforms and creating a more integrated, automated, and scalable technology environment.

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Technical Lead / Technical Product Owner to take ownership of the technical direction and execution of the company's product and technology roadmap.

This is a highly autonomous and hands-on technical leadership role spanning software development, system architecture, automation, integrations, DevOps, and technical product ownership.

Working closely with the Product Owner/Strategist, you will determine how business and product objectives should be delivered - from selecting the right technologies and designing scalable solutions to developing applications, building automations, managing infrastructure, and ensuring reliable technical execution.

The ideal candidate is equally comfortable writing production code, developing low-code/no-code automations, managing infrastructure, reviewing architecture, and challenging technical assumptions when necessary.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership & Architecture

• Own the technical architecture and ongoing evolution of the company's technology ecosystem.

• Translate product requirements and business objectives into practical technical solutions.

• Evaluate different approaches and recommend appropriate technologies, architectures, and implementation strategies.

• Make day-to-day technical decisions independently while escalating major architectural or strategic decisions when required.

• Develop technical plans, solution designs, development approaches, and implementation roadmaps.

• Ensure solutions are scalable, secure, maintainable, and commercially sensible.

• Identify technical debt and proactively recommend improvements.

• Establish development standards, coding practices, documentation, and technical processes.

• Serve as the senior technical voice in product and technology discussions.

Software Development & Integrations

• Develop and maintain applications, APIs, integrations, automation workflows, and internal tools.

• Work across traditional software development and low-code/no-code platforms.

• Select the most appropriate development approach based on the business problem.

• Build integrations between internal systems, APIs, databases, and third-party platforms.

• Develop solutions that progressively reduce reliance on legacy and third-party systems.

• Conduct code reviews and maintain high development quality standards.

• Troubleshoot complex technical issues and identify root causes.

• Ensure new functionality is properly tested and documented before deployment.

Automation & Low-Code/No-Code Development

• Design and implement business process automations using platforms such as n8n and GoHighLevel.

• Identify opportunities to automate repetitive operational and administrative processes.

• Connect systems, APIs, databases, and third-party services through automation workflows.

• Determine when low-code/no-code solutions are appropriate and when custom development is required.

• Continuously improve existing automations for reliability, performance, and scalability.

DevOps & Infrastructure

• Take ownership of core DevOps responsibilities, with support from an existing offshore engineer.

• Manage and improve development, staging, and production environments.

• Establish and maintain CI/CD processes.

• Manage deployments, releases, monitoring, backups, and system reliability.

• Implement appropriate security, access control, and infrastructure practices.

• Monitor system performance and proactively address reliability and scalability issues.

• Establish appropriate logging, alerting, and incident response processes.

• Work with the offshore engineer to delegate technical tasks and maintain operational continuity.

• Help establish a robust DevOps foundation as the technology environment grows.

Product & Technical Planning

• Work closely with the Product Owner/Strategist to understand business priorities, customer requirements, and market opportunities.

• Translate product objectives into technical requirements and implementation plans.

• Break larger initiatives into manageable technical deliverables.

• Provide realistic technical estimates, dependencies, risks, and implementation timelines.

• Challenge requirements where appropriate and identify simpler, more scalable, or cost-effective alternatives.

• Ensure technical execution remains aligned with the broader product strategy.

Technology Environment

The current technology ecosystem includes:

• Rental management platform

• n8n

• GoHighLevel

• Claude

• Notion

• Figma

• Webflow

• GitHub

• Slack

• Trello

You do not need to be an expert in every platform above but should be highly adaptable and capable of quickly understanding and integrating new technologies.

Required Skills & Experience

• 7+ years of experience in software engineering, technical leadership, solutions architecture, or a closely related field.

• Strong experience across both traditional software development and low-code/no-code development.

• Demonstrated experience designing and implementing APIs and third‑party integrations.

• Strong understanding of software architecture and system design.

• Hands‑on DevOps experience, including deployment, CI/CD, infrastructure, monitoring, and system reliability.

• Experience with Git/GitHub and modern software development workflows.

• Strong understanding of cloud‑based applications and distributed systems.

• Experience with workflow automation platforms, preferably n8n or similar.

• Ability to evaluate technologies and select the right tool for a particular business problem.

• Strong problem‑solving and debugging skills.

• Experience working independently in a remote or distributed environment.

• Strong written and verbal English communication skills.

• Ability to explain complex technical decisions clearly to non‑technical stakeholders.

Preferred Experience

• Experience with n8n, GoHighLevel, Webflow, Figma, Notion, GitHub, or similar platforms.

• Experience integrating rental, booking, CRM, payment, or travel‑related systems.

• Experience replacing legacy platforms with custom‑built applications.

• Experience building SaaS products or internal business platforms.

• Experience with AI‑assisted development tools such as Claude.

• Experience managing or mentoring offshore developers or technical teams.

• Experience working in a startup, scale‑up, or rapidly evolving technology environment.

• Strong understanding of automation and API‑first architecture.

Working Style

We are looking for someone who is:

• Highly autonomous - comfortable making technical decisions without constant direction.

• Commercially minded - understands that the best technical solution is not always the most complex one.

• Hands‑on - willing to code, configure systems, troubleshoot infrastructure, and build automations.

• Strategic - able to think beyond individual features and consider the broader technology ecosystem.

• Pragmatic - knows when to build, buy, integrate, or automate.

• Curious and adaptable - comfortable learning new platforms and technologies quickly.

• Collaborative - able to work closely with the Product Owner and offshore engineering support.

• Quality‑focused - takes ownership of reliability, security, maintainability, and technical standards.

Reporting & Collaboration

The Senior Technical Lead / Technical Product Owner will work directly with the Product Owner/Strategist and collaborate with the existing offshore engineer.

The Product Owner/Strategist will primarily determine what the business should build and why, based on business strategy, customer needs, and market opportunities.

The Technical Lead will own how those objectives are technically delivered, including architecture, technology selection, development approach, DevOps, integrations, and technical execution.

Technical decisions are expected to be made largely independently, with the candidate presenting proposed approaches, plans, and recommendations to the Product Owner for review and approval.

What Success Looks Like

• Establish a clear and scalable technical architecture.

• Take ownership of the technical execution of the product roadmap.

• Reduce unnecessary reliance on third‑party and legacy systems over time.

• Build reliable integrations and automation across the business.

• Improve development and deployment processes.

• Maintain a secure, stable, and scalable technology environment.

• Provide clear technical recommendations and implementation plans to the Product Owner.

• Ensure technology decisions balance business outcomes with long‑term scalability.
