About the Role

As Head of Engineering, you'll own the engineering function, managing a multidisciplinary team across frontend, backend, and machine learning.

  • Focus on delivering business value over strict adherence to processes or methodologies
  • Clear, pragmatic communication and ability to build strong relationships across functions
  • Comfort with ambiguity and a creative approach to solving complex problems
  • Strong people leadership and team-building skills

Bonus experience:

  • Experience in startups or scale-ups, balancing competing priorities and building scalable processes
  • Proven ability to structure and grow engineering teams through different stages of growth
