The Head of Engineering will shape the technical direction and culture of a fast-scaling product organization, leading and growing a skilled engineering team while being deeply involved in software development and architecture decisions.

• Lead the engineering organization by defining technical direction, ensuring high performance, and maintaining strong delivery standards across all teams.
• Remain actively hands-on with software development (primarily TypeScript, Go, and related technologies).
• Own system architecture decisions and act as final decision-maker for technical trade-offs, scalability, and robustness.
• Build, mentor, and develop engineering teams, ensuring continuous growth of individual contributors into senior technical or leadership roles.
• Define and evolve engineering processes, standards, and best practices across the software development lifecycle.
• Ensure consistent delivery of high-quality, secure, and scalable software aligned with SLA, privacy, and compliance requirements.
• Drive hiring strategy, define team structure, and recruit top engineering talent in collaboration with People teams.
• Foster a high-performance engineering culture focused on speed, ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement.
• Partner closely with executive leadership (CEO, Product, CISO, Customer Success) to align technical execution with business and customer priorities.
• Oversee application security, infrastructure reliability, and compliance readiness in collaboration with relevant stakeholders.
• Identify technical opportunities for innovation, automation, and AI-driven engineering acceleration.
• Manage engineering costs, tooling decisions, and external vendor relationships to ensure operational efficiency.
• Participate in key customer and technical discussions when required to support product direction and solution design.
• Lead AI adoption strategy within engineering to improve development velocity and automation.

• 8+ years of experience in software engineering, including multiple years in technical leadership or engineering management roles.
• Strong hands-on development experience across full-stack systems, ideally with TypeScript, Go, or similar modern programming languages.
• Proven track record of building and scaling end-to-end software products, ideally in SaaS or platform environments.
• Deep understanding of system architecture, APIs (REST, GraphQL, gRPC), and distributed systems.
• Experience leading engineering teams in fast-paced, product-driven environments with a strong delivery focus.
• Demonstrated ability to remain hands-on technically while leading and mentoring teams.
• Strong experience in hiring, structuring, and developing high-performing engineering organizations.
• Solid understanding of security, privacy, compliance, and operational excellence in production systems.
• Strong product and customer orientation, with experience collaborating directly with stakeholders or clients.
• Excellent problem-solving skills with a pragmatic, execution-focused mindset.
• Experience working with cloud infrastructure, scalability challenges, and modern DevOps practices.
• Strong communication skills in English, with the ability to align technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Comfortable working in remote, distributed teams and fast-changing startup environments.
• Experience with AI-driven engineering practices, automation, or developer productivity tooling is a strong plus.

• Fully remote position with global flexibility.
• Competitive compensation package.
• Choice of preferred work hardware.
• Discretionary paid time off for rest and personal balance.
• Access to healthcare benefits depending on location.
• Opportunity to work on high-impact, cutting-edge technical challenges.
• Strong focus on engineering autonomy, ownership, and innovation.
• Team retreats and international offsites.
• Supportive, high-performance culture with strong emphasis on learning and growth.
• Opportunity to shape the engineering organization and product at a foundational level.
