About the Role
As Head of Engineering, you will lead a team of 8-10 frontend and backend engineers, reporting to the CPO. This is a hands-on role requiring approximately 50% coding and 50% team leadership and development. You will set the technical direction, implement efficient processes, and ensure AI integration enhances quality. Collaboration with the data team is essential. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced scale-up environment with frequent changes and quick decision-making.
Responsibilities
- Own delivery for an agile team of frontend and backend engineers working in small, outcome-owning squads.
- Set technical direction and effective processes across the stack: next.js/TypeScript frontend app hosted on Vercel and PHP/Symfony backend/ logic layer on AWS.
- Drive our AI-native way of working and set the bar for AI-accelerated output to raise quality.
- Build fluency in our data infrastructure to keep engineering and data decisions aligned.
- Be the accountable point of technical leadership, represent engineering in company strategy, and translate trade-offs for product and leadership.
- Own career development, progression, and hiring for the team.
Requirements
- Proven leadership of a product engineering team at a B2B SaaS company, ideally martech or adjacent.
- Strong range across frontend (React/TypeScript) and backend (PHP/Symfony or comparable server-side stack, AWS), able to credibly review and guide both.
- Own, maintain, and develop our core infrastructure (AWS - ECS, VPC, SQS, Aurora - and GCP - pubsub, cloudrun, bigquery), and Vercel connection.
- Data infrastructure fluency (pipelines, warehousing) to partner effectively with data engineering/science.
- Demonstrated AI-native practice: has built a culture around AI-assisted coding and AI-augmented review, with clear judgment on where it helps and where it needs guardrails.
- A genuine player-coach track record: still hands-on technically while growing, hiring, and holding a team accountable.
- Comfortable in a turnaround/scale-up environment: pragmatic, decisive, good at building trust and momentum, team player both the engineering team as well as cross-functionally.
- Belief in product engineering: full-stack ownership of outcomes and customer impact.
