Head of Tech & AI Innovation

Role Overview 

ANGA is hiring its first dedicated technology leader. As Head of Tech & AI, you will own every technology decision across the company — from the internal MarTech products and automation systems that power our agency, to the technical SEO quality delivered to 100+ client brands. The role is primarily focused on internal product and platform development, with a supporting role in client-facing technical SEO leadership.

The ideal candidate combines deep SEO domain knowledge with a modern, AI-first approach to development. You don’t need to write every line of code — but you do need to architect systems, review code, make build-vs-buy decisions, and ship products using AI-assisted development tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and similar IDE-integrated AI platforms. If you believe AI fundamentally changes how software is built and you want to lead that transformation inside a fast-growing agency, this role is for you.

Responsibilities

Internal Tech, Product & AI 

Product Ownership & Development 

• Technical Decision-Making: Own all technology decisions across the company — architecture, tech stack selection, build-vs-buy, and infrastructure.
• Product Development: Build new internal SaaS and webapp products from scratch and continuously improve existing tools and platforms.
• AI-First Development: Lead development using AI-assisted IDEs (Cursor, Claude Code, Antigravity) as the primary approach — architecture decisions, code review, and shipping products at speed.
• Maintenance & Operations: Ensure all operating tools and platforms remain stable, performant, and continuously improved.

Automation & Data Infrastructure

• Automation Workflows: Design and build robust automation using N8N, Zapier, Make, and custom integrations to eliminate manual work across the agency.
• Data Architecture: Manage and scale data infrastructure including APIs, databases, BigQuery, and Marketing Cloud Platforms to create unified reporting ecosystems.
• Proprietary Tools: Spearhead development of proprietary tools that give ANGA a competitive advantage — streamlining workflows and automating repetitive tasks.

Team & AI Transformation

• Team Leadership: Manage and mentor the technical team, building a high-performing unit aligned with the agency’s fast-paced culture.
• AI Adoption: Drive AI adoption across all teams — ensuring AI tools are leveraged to reduce workloads, minimize time consumption, and increase output quality.
• Resource Optimization: Develop frameworks that use AI and automation to optimize resource allocation, reduce human error, and scale operations.

Technical SEO & Client Excellence 

• Strategy & Auditing: Define strategy for comprehensive technical SEO audits and implementation roadmaps across the client portfolio.
• Algorithm Expertise: Act as the agency’s lead expert on search engine algorithm updates, translating shifts into actionable strategies for clients and teams.
• Performance Standards: Set and maintain quality standards for Core Web Vitals, site speed, crawlability, indexing, and schema markup across all client properties.
• Developer Collaboration: Oversee client-side and internal developers to ensure technical SEO requirements are implemented accurately.
• Client Communication: Join high-level client meetings as the key technical stakeholder when needed, translating complex issues into clear business insights. English proficiency is a plus.

• Proven experience with AI-assisted development tools (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar IDE-integrated AI).
• Strong architecture and code review skills — ability to design systems and evaluate code quality without writing every line.
• Experience building and shipping web applications and SaaS products.
• Proficiency with modern web technologies (React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, WordPress).
