Engineering Leader, Platform Transformation

Our client is a product technology company in the energy sector, building a comprehensive platform used by energy suppliers for contract management, billing, invoicing, reporting, and regulatory compliance. The product is mature, widely adopted, and plays a critical role in a highly regulated environment.

Over time, the platform has accumulated significant technical debt due to historically ad hoc development and limited engineering practices. The company is now entering a transformation phase, with the goal of modernizing the architecture, improving scalability, and evolving the system towards a more maintainable and predictable platform.

They are looking for a hands-on Engineering Leader to take ownership of this transformation and work closely with a small, experienced team (currently ~10 engineers). This role combines technical leadership, architecture ownership, and active involvement in engineering work.

This is not a purely managerial position — the ideal candidate will be comfortable diving into the system, shaping technical decisions, and driving change within an established team.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the modernization of a legacy platform, including architecture, codebase, and engineering practices

  • Define and execute a pragmatic migration strategy from the current system to a more scalable and maintainable architecture

  • Contribute hands-on to system design and key architectural decisions

  • Improve development processes, delivery predictability, and quality standards

  • Introduce modern engineering practices, including automation and AI-assisted development where applicable

  • Work closely with and mentor a team of ~10 engineers, supporting their growth and alignment

  • Collaborate with product and business stakeholders to ensure technical decisions align with business priorities

Requirements & Nice to Have

  • Experience leading engineering teams of approximately 10–15 engineers

  • Proven experience working with and improving legacy systems

  • Hands-on experience with system modernization, refactoring, or platform migration

  • Strong technical background in backend systems and architecture

  • Ability to balance pragmatic delivery with long-term technical improvements

  • Strong communication skills and ability to drive change within established teams

Nice to have / plus:

  • Experience in regulated industries (e.g. energy, fintech, telecom)

  • Familiarity with PHP / Laravel, .NET, or similar backend ecosystems

  • Experience introducing AI tools or automation into engineering workflows
