  • Represent technology interests at board level as a Senior Management Team member.
  • Drive modernization initiatives that balance innovation with pragmatism to unlock new revenue opportunities and enhance customer experience.

Required Skills and Experience

  • Proven architectural expertise in legacy system migration, cloud infrastructure, API design, and contemporary application frameworks.
  • Hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure, .NET, C#, SQL Server, and familiarity with legacy Delphi or similar codebases, plus web platforms like nopCommerce and ASP.NET.
  • In-depth knowledge of ERP system architecture including hosted and multi-tenant models, and the challenges in evolving mature software.
  • Practical background in integrating AI tools into software development cycles, including AI-assisted coding, automated testing, and documentation.
  • Understanding of large language model-based (LLM) features, managed cloud platform integrations, agentic AI workflows, and governance with measurable accountability.

Why Join Happen

  • Opportunity to shape the future of a longstanding product through transformative leadership.
  • Lead cross-functional engineering, QA, and technology teams with growing scope and impact.
  • Contribute as a core member of senior leadership influencing strategic business and product directions.
  • Champion AI integration to boost team capability and output meaningfully.
