The role

At knowmad mood we continue to drive high-impact technological projects and we are looking to incorporate a cross technical reference to participate as the technical lead for the initiatives/projects we carry out for strategic clients.

The objective of this role is to provide vision, align, and empower all horizontal technical activities of the company, both in service execution and in the preparation of technical pre-sales.

Projects are usually technically led by a technical leader from the corresponding technology community. These technical reference figures operate at a higher level, more at a cross-client level and less at a project level.

What you'll do

Participation as a knowmad mood technical reference for clients where we have high-value services, accompanied by multidisciplinary profiles (technical leaders, architects, Project managers, etc.), with direct interlocution with the client. Everything within a client's operation involves us (full client coverage), from project planning, pre-sales, execution,...
Technical interlocution with the client. You will participate in the preparation of pre-sales, definition of solutions, presentations to clients regarding the global/specific capabilities of knowmad mood, PoCs, and pilots of certain solutions.
Entering projects/clients where a solution is becoming complicated in order to unblock it. We attempt to get very close to understand the problem at a low level.
Promoting best practices and infrastructure for the execution of development projects (Development ecosystem: code repository, IaC,...).
Participating in technical strategy meetings with technical representatives from different technology communities, to identify synergies as well as decide on technical strategies.
Proposing new initiatives and leading them technically in collaboration with other Technical Leaders and members of the Expert Center from other Communities (Artificial Intelligence initiatives, new technologies, etc.).
Design and definition of robust and scalable architectures, aligned with business needs and quality standards.
Technical feasibility analysis of solutions, evaluating technologies, architectural approaches, and trade-offs.
Translation between business and technology, ensuring fluid communication and realistic expectations.
