You report directly to the CTO.

You draft the target architecture, you defend it to engineering and to customers, and you stay close enough to the implementation to course-correct early.</span></span><span> </span><br></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span><span>The context: Meniga is in the middle of a platform transformation - performance, architecture, and AI, across systems that run inside the world's largest banks.
