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 opportunities to automate repetitive engineering work.
• Use AI to increase engineering velocity and quality.
• Build a team where AI becomes part of the engineering operating model.

Requirements

• Minimum 3 years of experience in Bitcoin mining site operations or similar high-density data environments.
• Strong understanding of ASIC miner architecture, firmware, and diagnostics.
• Skilled in electrical and low-voltage systems, cabling, and power distribution.
• Familiarity with networking fundamentals (IP addressing, switches, monitoring tools).
• Ability to read and interpret technical diagrams and electrical schematics.
• Excellent troubleshooting, organizational, and communication skills.
• Comfortable working in physically demanding and outdoor conditions.
• Willingness to work flexible shifts, including nights or weekends as needed.

Benefits

• Professional growth: support for courses, conferences, and English learning (up to 100% coverage).
• Work-life fit: remote or hybrid format with flexible hours across international teams.
• Paid leave: up to 20 vacation days + 8 company holidays + 5 personal days per year
• Recognition programs: structured performance reviews and team awards.
• Team culture: retreats in international locations (for example, company apartments in Cyprus).
