The Platform team is the foundation of GoMining’s ecosystem. It owns the services that every product depends on — custody, KYC, compliance, core application components, and platform reliability.

As Head of Platform, you will own this domain end-to-end. You will define the platform strategy, lead a cross-functional engineering organization, establish engineering standards, and ensure the platform remains secure, scalable, and highly available.

This is a hands-on leadership role requiring a combination of technical expertise, product ownership, and operational excellence.
