saas.group - Chief Technology and Product Officer

Remote - Europe3w ago

Requirements

• Experience leading product and/or engineering at a highly technical company (CTO, CPO, VP Engineering or similar), at a 25+ person org or larger • Real hands-on depth in web scraping, proxies, or closely adjacent infrastructure. You understand the operational reality of this space and you don't rattle when a source breaks overnight and it's suddenly all hands on deck • A genuine track record with AI/ML, both shaping AI-powered product capability and pushing AI-native ways of working through an engineering team • Experience owning product vision and technical architecture together, not just one side of that line • Comfort operating at board level: a clear communicator who can hold their own with an ambitious, hands-on CEO and knows when to push back • Bonus: experience integrating product lines after a merger or acquisition

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end product and technology strategy across our scraping infrastructure, proxy networks, and structured data API products (ScraperAPI, SerpWow, Rainforest API). • Lead, scale, and develop a 25+ person product and engineering organisation spanning multiple countries and time zones, building the management structure it needs as it grows. • Set technical architecture direction for high-scale, high-reliability infrastructure, including proxy management, anti-bot evasion, and large-scale scraping systems. • Drive AI and modern ML tooling into both the product itself and how the team builds and ships it. • Define and execute one product roadmap across the merged ScraperAPI and Traject Data lines. • Represent product and technology to the board, and work closely with the CEO and commercial leadership to keep product direction and business strategy aligned. • Stay close enough to the code and infrastructure to go in and troubleshoot, fix, or challenge a technical decision yourself when it matters.
