• The Trofi Ops Platform supports end-to-end kitchen operations including procurement, production planning, stock control, order fulfillment, and reporting.
• This is a remote role, but you will work closely with onsite teams across operations, product, and executive leadership.
• The ideal candidate excels at solving problems, designing scalable systems, and leading cross-functional engineering teams.
• Key responsibilities include owning the technical vision and architecture for the Trofi Ops Platform, designing and building robust backend systems, APIs, and integrations that power real-time kitchen operations.
• You will collaborate with product managers and operational stakeholders to understand needs and translate them into technical solutions.
• The role requires working across the full stack when needed, focusing on solving the problem rather than just the tool.
• You will guide and mentor a distributed team of developers, ensuring code quality, best practices, and delivery velocity.
• Leading technical hiring efforts, structuring the team, and growing engineering capabilities internally are also part of the responsibilities.
• You will ensure the platform is scalable, maintainable, and aligned with business goals.

Requirements:

• You must have 6+ years of experience in software development, with at least 2+ years in a technical leadership role.
• A proven track record of building and scaling complex platforms or internal systems is required.
• You should have a strong ability to work across multiple tech stacks and pick up new tools quickly.
• Experience with backend technologies (e.g., Node.js, Python), frontend technologies (e.g., React), and cloud platforms (e.g., GCP or AWS) is necessary.
• A deep understanding of system design, APIs, databases, and software architecture is essential.
• Excellent communication and leadership skills are required, as you will need to work remotely and still build strong alignment with teams.
• Bonus points for experience in F&B tech, ERP, or inventory management systems.

Benefits:

• The position offers the flexibility of remote work while collaborating with a diverse team.
• You will have the opportunity to lead and mentor a distributed team, enhancing your leadership skills.
• The role allows for significant influence over the technical direction and architecture of the Trofi Ops Platform.
