Head of R&D JB-4790

A fast-paced startup based in Ariel is looking for a powerhouse Hands-on Tech Lead to drive the vision of our SaaS product. We are looking for a true partner who lives and breathes code, takes full ownership of the technology stack, and is excited to lead our R&D from the front lines. If you are a builder at heart who can balance strategic vision with heavy execution, this is the place for you.

What You’ll Do:

Lead the Tech: Take full ownership of the technological roadmap – from architecture and development to production.

Be the Architect & Builder: Design scalable systems and stay deeply involved in the codebase (High-level Hands-on).

Team Leadership: Build and manage our development team – from hiring and mentoring to setting high professional standards and ensuring delivery.

Make Hard Decisions: Determine what we build, what we scrap, and which technologies we adopt to stay ahead.

Scale & Stability: Ensure our SaaS platform is robust, secure, and ready for massive scale.

Business Partnership: Work closely with the founders and product team to translate business goals into technical reality.

The Tech Stack: Proven experience in designing and building scalable architectures. Deep, practical mastery of modern Backend and Frontend frameworks.

Cloud & DevOps: Hands-on experience with Cloud environments (AWS/GCP/Azure) and modern DevOps practices (CI/CD, Containers, K8s).

The "Firefighter" Mentality: Ability to dive deep into code and solve critical production issues under pressure.

Leadership Experience: Proven track record of leading development teams, hiring talent, and fostering a culture of excellence.

Startup DNA: You understand the trade-offs between "perfect code" and "time to market." You are a self-starter who gets things done.

Big Plus if You Have:

Experience in early-stage startups.
