Founding Engineering Leader
The opportunity
You will work directly with the founders to define and execute the technical vision of TactAIx. You will not inherit a large engineering organisation — you will help build one. This role combines architecture, engineering leadership, recruiting and hands-on technical judgement at one of the most important stages of the company.
Why this role matters
The decisions made now about architecture, technologies, data integration, security and engineering culture will shape the platform for years. We want a leader who can build enterprise-quality foundations without introducing unnecessary complexity that slows an early-stage team down.
You will own
- • Technical architecture
- • Engineering roadmap
- • Technology selection
- • Engineering standards
- • AI infrastructure
- • Backend and data services
- • Cloud and DevOps direction
- • Security foundations
- • Technical hiring
- • Code quality and delivery
You will help build
- • Conversational AI platform
- • Provider-agnostic LLM orchestration
- • Football-data integrations
- • RAG and knowledge workflows
- • Proprietary ML integration
- • Scouting intelligence
- • Performance analytics
- • Operational and security intelligence
- • Explainable decision support
- • Future computer-vision services
Technology direction
- • Python / FastAPI
- • Next.js / React / TypeScript
- • PostgreSQL / Redis
- • Vector database
- • OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini APIs
- • Docker
- • Azure or AWS
- • GitHub / CI/CD
- • PyTorch / scikit-learn
- • Infrastructure as Code
First 90 days
Validate architecture, formalise technical standards, refine the roadmap, identify immediate hiring needs and accelerate MVP delivery.
First 12 months
Build the initial engineering team, deliver the production platform, establish reliable integrations and prepare the proprietary ML roadmap.
Leadership style
Evidence over ego. Constructive challenge. Fast decisions. High ownership. Strong standards without unnecessary bureaucracy.
What we value
Strong technical judgement matters more than knowing every framework. We value leaders who can make clear decisions, explain trade-offs, challenge constructively with evidence, remain comfortable in a rapidly evolving AI landscape and help build a high-performance engineering culture.
