(Uzbekistan) Technical Director Jobs in Tashkent, Tashkent, Uzbekistan at MTA Solutions Global
Title: (Uzbekistan) Technical Director
Company: MTA Solutions Global
Location: Tashkent, Tashkent, Uzbekistan
JOB DESCRIPTION: TECHNICAL DIRECTOR
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
1/ Technical Leadership & Direction
- Define and own the technical roadmap for your domain(s), aligned with group strategy and product goals.
- Make and defend architectural decisions with clear rationale — balancing delivery velocity, scalability, compliance, and maintainability.
- Set and enforce engineering standards: code quality, system design, security, and operational readiness.
- Actively participate in design and architecture reviews across the broader engineering group.
- Stay current with industry trends, tooling, and emerging technologies — bring relevant insights back into the team.
2/ People Leadership & Organizational Development
- Lead multiple engineering teams (25+ people), providing clear direction, consistent feedback, and meaningful development opportunities.
- Make people growth a primary responsibility — not a nice-to-have. Actively invest in the career development of every engineer in your function; track progress, create opportunities, and remove ceiling blockers.
- Build and sustain a psychologically safe environment where engineers feel empowered to raise concerns, challenge decisions, share failures, and propose ideas without fear of judgment or reprisal.
- Own hiring, onboarding, and retention for your engineering function — build the team you need to deliver.
- Establish a culture of extreme ownership and accountability: problems in your domain are your problems, regardless of where they originate.
- Identify and develop future technical leads and senior engineers; actively manage succession depth.
- Work across cultural boundaries effectively — our teams operate across Vietnam and Europe.
3/ Delivery & Execution
- Own the delivery commitments for your domain — scope, timeline, quality, and post-release stability.
- Remove blockers at the team and organizational level; escalate when necessary with a proposed resolution.
- Drive measurable improvement in delivery throughput and engineering quality over time.
- Ensure systems under your ownership maintain production-grade operational standards: observability, incident response, SLAs.
4/ Cross-functional & Strategic Contribution
- Collaborate with Product, QC, DevOps, and other technical directors to align delivery across the group.
- Contribute to group-level technology strategy, platform evolution, and engineering hiring standards.
- Represent the engineering function credibly with senior business stakeholders — translate technical complexity into business terms without losing substance.
- Champion technology adoption — including AI-assisted engineering, automation, and modern tooling — across your teams.
REQUIREMENTSNon-negotiable
- 10 years of hands-on software development experience at senior, principal, or team lead level — backend-heavy, working on complex, distributed, or high-throughput systems.
- Demonstrable experience with High-concurrency Core Algorithms, Complex Logic Math Engines, or Statistical Simulation Platform domains — you understand how these products are built, certified, and operated.
- 5+ years leading engineering teams, with direct management of 25+ people across multiple teams simultaneously.
- Proven ability to own and drive technical direction end-to-end — not just advise, but decide and be accountable for outcomes.
- Extreme ownership mindset — no blame-shifting, no bystander behaviour. If it's in your domain, it's yours.
- Demonstrated commitment to growing people: a track record of engineers you've developed who went on to take on greater responsibility.
- Fluent in both Vietnamese and English — you will operate in a Vietnamese-speaking team environment while communicating across a global, English-speaking leadership group.
Strongly Preferred
- Experience in Live-streaming transactional platforms or Real-time Interactive systems — system architecture, operational complexity, or product delivery.
- Background in B2B or platform engineering within high-transaction SaaS — integrations, shared services, operator-facing systems.
- Familiarity with strict international regulatory frameworks and the technical implications of compliance/certification.
- Experience working in distributed, multi-office engineering organizations.
- Track record of introducing or scaling new engineering practices, tools, or AI-assisted workflows across a team.
Technical Depth Expected
- Backend systems design: distributed architecture, event-driven systems, high-availability design, data modeling.
- Platform infrastructure awareness: deployment pipelines, containerization, observability, incident management.
- Security-aware engineering — especially in the context of platform integrity and fraud prevention.
- Comfort with modern engineering tooling and willingness to drive adoption.
LEADERSHIP PROFILE
We are not looking for a manager who oversees engineers. We are looking for a technical leader who is respected by engineers — someone who can go deep when it matters, elevate the people around them, and take full ownership of outcomes without needing direction from above.
The right candidate is:
- Extreme ownership: takes full responsibility for outcomes in their domain. Does not deflect, does not wait, does not qualify accountability.
- A builder of psychological safety: actively creates an environment where people speak up, surface problems early, share mistakes openly, and challenge up the chain without fear.
- Invested in people growth: measures personal success partly by how much the people around them improve. Coaching and mentoring are not side tasks; they are leadership outputs.
- Self-directed and proactive: identifies problems before they escalate, drives solutions without waiting to be asked.
- Outcome-oriented: measures success by what ships, what works, and what improves; not by effort or activity.
- Opinionated but open: holds strong technical views, defends them with evidence, and updates them when presented with better information.
