Your missionFull technical ownership of Rocket — reporting directly to the founders, with no layer in betweenIn this role you own engineering at MICE DESK — fully.
There is no CTO layer above you: architecture, technology, delivery, and team are yours, and you report directly to the founders.
This is a hands-on leadership role.
You lead the engineering team including our AI/Data function, own the interface to Product, and are accountable for everything that ships.
Engineering, end-to-end.
Architecture, system design, delivery against the roadmap, reliability, technical debt.
Backend, frontend, DevOps, QA, and the AI/Data team all roll up to you.
You set lightweight processes that let a small team ship fast without breaking things.
An AI-enabled engineering pipeline.
We don't just build AI products — we build with AI.
You make the engineering organization itself AI-native: agentic coding workflows, AI-assisted review and testing, automation of everything repetitive.
A small team should ship like one three times its size — making that true is your job.
AI as a core system capability.
You architect the integration of LLMs and agentic workflows into production systems: deterministic logic combined with AI-generated outputs, with real validation, fallbacks, and reliability strategies.
Hotel operations run on our platform — non-determinism is no excuse for unreliability.
Hire, mentor, scale.
You inherit a strong small team and grow it into a high-performance engineering organization with a culture of ownership and speed.
Our distributed hiring strategy across multiple locations is yours as well.
Product and business alignment.
You work directly with the founders and Product.
You challenge.
As we enter the US market, engineering has to keep pace with enterprise-scale customers on two continents.
