Engineering Director - Platform

We are looking for an Engineering Director to own the technology platform behind the GoMining ecosystem.
This is a senior leadership role for someone who combines deep engineering expertise with strong product and business thinking.
You will own the Platform end-to-end — technology strategy, architecture, engineering organization, roadmap, reliability, delivery, and its impact on the wider business.
The Platform powers multiple GoMining products and includes core application infrastructure, authentication and authorization, integrations, d services, analytics infrastructure, user restrictions, native applications, reliability, and other foundational capabilities.
This is not a role where success is measured simply by uptime, delivery, or engineering output.
We expect the Engineering Director to understand where technology creates or limits business value, make trade-offs between long-term architecture and immediate commercial priorities, and build a platform that allows the entire company to move faster.
Responsibilities
Platform Strategy & Architecture
- Own the technology strategy, architecture, and roadmap for the GoMining Platform.
- Build scalable d infrastructure used across multiple products and engineering teams.
- Define which capabilities should be centralized at Platform level and which should remain within individual product teams.
- Drive major architectural and technical decisions.
- Identify scalability and architectural bottlenecks before they become business-critical.
- Balance long-term platform investments with immediate product and commercial priorities.

Reliability & Engineering Excellence
- Own platform reliability, availability, latency, scalability, and operational performance.
- Define and improve SLAs, DORA metrics, engineering performance, and incident-management practices.
- Improve release stability, engineering velocity, and system resilience.
- Lead post-incident improvements and eliminate systemic reliability issues.
- Maintain a high engineering bar without unnecessary bureaucracy.

Core Platform Capabilities
- Own d authentication, authorization, registration, and 2FA infrastructure.
- Develop common account controls, user restrictions, and security mechanisms.
- Own integrations and d backend capabilities required across GoMining products.
- Develop d analytics and event infrastructure.
- Support common infrastructure across web and native applications.
- Partner with Product, Design, Security, and engineering teams on cross-company capabilities.

Product & Business Impact
Platform at GoMining is not an isolated infrastructure function.
You will work directly with product leaders, General Managers, and C-level stakeholders to understand where technology can unlock growth and where platform limitations are holding the business back.
- Prioritize engineering initiatives based on technical risk and business impact.
- Understand how platform decisions affect revenue, conversion, customer experience, and product velocity.
- Identify technical changes that can unlock meaningful business results.
- Balance competing priorities across multiple product teams.
- Make clear trade-offs between speed, scalability, reliability, security, and business value.
- Measure Platform not only through technical metrics, but through how effectively it accelerates the company.

Engineering Leadership
- Lead and develop the Platform engineering organization.
- Own team structure, hiring, performance, priorities, and execution.
- Build a culture of strong engineering ownership and accountability.
- Stay close enough to architecture and technology to challenge decisions and make informed trade-offs.
- Develop strong technical leaders within the team.
- Raise the technical and execution bar across the organization.

AI-First Engineering
- Actively use AI tools and agents in your own work.
- Introduce AI-assisted workflows across engineering, specifications, QA, analytics, and operations.
- Identify o
