Serving as a direct strategic peer to the Founder & CEO, you will hold ultimate accountability for the technical vision, application infrastructure, and product architecture as the platform scales upmarket. You will lead a distributed global engineering team, turning complex business challenges into concrete technical solutions. What you will do: - Own the end-to-end technical strategy, architecture, and roadmap across real-time multi-channel messaging platforms, CRM systems, and AI orchestration engines. - Serve as a strategic thought partner to the Founder & CEO—articulating technical trade-offs, driving critical architectural decisions, and providing constructive pushback on key initiatives. - Lead, scale, and mentor a distributed, multi-region engineering organization, building autonomous team structures to eliminate key-person dependencies. - Drive the production AI strategy, deploying dependable LLM and agentic workflows with strict evaluations, guardrails, and accuracy benchmarks rather than mere prototypes. - Bridge technical priorities with commercial outcomes, aligning engineering roadmaps directly with revenue, customer retention, and go-to-market priorities. - Implement enterprise-grade reliability engineering, multi-tenancy safeguards, security frameworks, and performance standards to support mid-market and enterprise growth. What you will need: - 8+ years of software engineering experience with a proven track record as the final technical decision-maker and executive leader. - Demonstrated history of direct executive partnership with CEOs, with the communication skill and confidence to challenge assumptions and defend sound technical strategies. - Deep production AI experience, including building, evaluating, and scaling LLM and agentic systems in live enterprise environments. - Solid technical problem-solving capabilities—remaining hands-on enough to guide complex system design, lead whiteboard architectural sessions, and debug high-level issues. - Strong product and commercial acumen, with a history of connecting engineering output directly to business KPIs alongside Product and GTM leadership. - Proven success building, scaling, and retaining distributed engineering teams while instilling rigorous reliability engineering metrics (uptime, security, performance). ## About nahc.io ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: A full-service recruitment agency providing talent acquisition and human capital solutions for startups and innovative companies across Asia. - **Entity Type**: Private (Bootstrapped, no funding rounds disclosed) - **Headquarters**: Hong Kong, Hong Kong (with offices in Singapore and Taipei) - **Founded**: 2019 - **Founders**: Lawrence Chan (Co-founder & CEO), Cicely Leung (Co-founder & Head of Recruitment – Tech & Digital), Zoie Lin (Co-founder & Head of Recruitment – Commercial & Operations), Charlotte Wong (Co-founder & Head of Client Engagement & Partnerships) ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Human Resources Services (Recruitment & Staffing) - **Target customers**: B2B – startups, innovative companies, and businesses undergoing transformation in Asia - **Mission/purpose**: “To empower people to make the best informed decision for their career or for their business in talent recruitment.” The company aims to change the recruitment industry by offering a non-transactional, relationship-driven experience. ## Products & Services - **Talent Acquisition**: Core recruitment services covering Sales, Marketing, Information Technology, Human Resources, Strategy & Operations, Finance, and Web3.
