Senior Software Engineer

Company Description Alpus Consulting LLC is a technology consulting firm that helps businesses design, build, and scale software products and platforms. The company focuses on providing strategic technical leadership, hands-on engineering support, and practical guidance to clients navigating complex digital transformations. Alpus Consulting LLC works closely with organizations to align technology initiatives with business goals, improve delivery processes, and strengthen product architecture. Team members collaborate with diverse clients and domains, gaining exposure to a wide range of modern technologies and business challenges.
Role Description We're looking for an experienced Fractional CTO to partner with our internal CTO and provide executive-level technical leadership across multiple client engagements. You'll work directly with founders, executives, and engineering teams to shape product strategy, architecture, and delivery.
What You’ll Do:
- Lead client-facing technical strategy: join discovery, roadmap, and executive stakeholder calls
- Support the Alpus Consulting CTO by owning portions of account leadership: communication, alignment, escalation management
- Define and validate product direction: clarify goals, scope, constraints, success metrics, and risks
- Shape solution architecture and delivery approach: recommend stack, build vs. buy, integrations, security, scalability, and cost trade-offs
- Guide engineering teams in defining implementation plans, delivery milestones, and execution priorities.
- Set delivery expectations: timelines, dependencies, risks, and blockers—communicate early and proactively
- Drive clarity and decision-making: facilitate trade-off decisions with non-technical stakeholders and keep projects moving
- Produce crisp documentation: meeting notes, action items, decision logs, and executive-ready status updates
What We’re Looking For:
- Excellent spoken and written English with confidence leading executive conversations with U.S. clients.
- 5+ years in senior engineering roles and/or technical leadership (Tech Lead, Architect, Head of Engineering, VP Eng, CTO, Fractional CTO)
- Strong understanding of modern software delivery: web, mobile, APIs, cloud infrastructure, data, and AI
- Proven ability to translate between business and engineering and align diverse stakeholders
- Comfortable with US time zones and communication style
- Highly organized and reliable: you close loops, document decisions, and keep teams aligned
- Able to work independently in a fully remote environment with minimal oversight
Nice-to-Have:
- Prior experience with US-based clients and enterprise stakeholders
- Background in pre-sales, consulting, customer success, or account leadership
- Experience in FinTech, eCommerce, or AI-enabled products
- Familiarity with security/compliance expectations (SOC 2, data privacy, regulated environments)
Time & Schedule:
- Part-time: typically, 2-5 hours/week (may vary by client load)
- Flexible schedule, with availability for calls in US time zones when needed
- Fully remote—based anywhere
This is a senior, high-trust role: you’ll represent Alpus Consulting at an executive level for key accounts, and compensation reflects that. We never ask candidates to pay fees or purchase equipment as part of the hiring process.
