Your role in the team
- As Head of Technical Operations, you are the bridge between our strategic vision (3-year roadmap) and operational implementation. You keep our startup sustainably market-ready and at the same time serve as the analytical rock in the surf for our daily business.
- Strategy & 3-Year Roadmap: In close collaboration with our part-time CTO, you will shape the medium- and long-term tech and automation strategy. You will make well-informed make-or-buy decisions and plan the transition from no-code to proprietary systems.
- Team leadership, mentoring & collaboration: You take on the professional leadership of our IT staff, set tactics for daily operations, and continuously improve our internal IT processes. With your analytical skills, you assist with more complex error analyses to build problem-solving skills within the team. You are not afraid to support operational tasks when needed and to handle tasks hands-on yourself in day-to-day business.
- Architecture, Data Structures & Scaling: You optimize our existing system (No-Code automation platforms, data entry tools, and our in-house ERP system), define data structures, and prepare our tech stack for IT audits of major B2B clients (considering ERP integrations such as SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, etc.) as well as AI integrations.
- Quality Assurance (QA) & Processes: You implement best practices and optimize our standards for no-code and code development (examples: Dev/Staging environments, strict error handling, automatic error monitoring, tracking, comprehensive documentation). You conduct technical reviews and ensure the provision of quality test data and test environments.
- Agile further development & planning of refactorings: You design sustainable solution approaches, define uniform data models and protocols, and serve as a point of contact for product owners, business development, and contributors involved in the implementation. For complex or business-critical parts of implementations, you assist as needed or ensure they are executed diligently, securely, with quality, and sustainably.
- Analytical Excellence: When data flows stall, API limits are reached, or unforeseen errors occur in tool interfaces, you provide in-depth and systematic root cause analysis as needed, develop sustainable solutions for the future, and lead the troubleshooting process.
