Tech Lead

🚀 About Us
We're reimagining grocery for the modern urban consumer — building a premium, tech-enabled convenience store chain that blends hot food, curated grocery, and digital-first experiences. With bold ambitions, we’re launching our first store this year and need strong technical foundations to scale.

🎯 About the Role
We’re looking for a Technical Systems Lead with a builder’s mindset to architect, implement, and own our core technology stack. You’ll take responsibility for our ERP system (Odoo) and ensure it seamlessly connects to our wider ecosystem — POS, payments, inventory, finance, supply chain, and customer-facing tools.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll be designing integrations, managing hardware/software connections, building and maintaining databases, and extracting the data needed to power decision-making.

🔑 Key Responsibilities

Own our ERP (Odoo) end-to-end: configuration, optimisation, and integration across supply chain, finance, inventory, and retail ops

Design, implement, and maintain integrations with other core systems (POS, payments, loyalty, 3rd-party SaaS, internal dashboards)

Manage and integrate hardware systems (POS terminals, kiosks, self-checkouts, payment devices, IoT sensors)

Build and maintain new databases; ensure data integrity, security, and accessibility for operational and commercial use

Extract, clean, and transform data from systems and databases for analysis, reporting, and forecasting

Automate workflows and data pipelines to reduce manual effort and unlock operational efficiency

Support AI-powered use cases such as demand forecasting, reporting automation, and customer insights

Collaborate with the team to ensure our technical stack underpins business growth and scalability

🧠 Ideal Candidate

Experience in technical systems or integration roles (retail, FMCG, or QSR environments a plus)

Strong ERP experience (Odoo preferred) — implementation, customisation, and integration

Solid background in systems integration (APIs, middleware, data pipelines)

Hands-on experience managing hardware/software integrations (POS, kiosks, terminals, IoT)

Database experience (SQL, schema design, optimisation, ETL processes)

Ability to extract and manipulate data for reporting, forecasting, and operational insights

Technically fluent and comfortable engaging with engineers, vendors, and non-technical stakeholders

Entrepreneurial and resourceful; thrives in fast-moving, high-growth environments
