Head of Engineering

We’re looking for a Head of Engineering to take full ownership of our technology and lead a small, senior engineering team. You set the technical direction, keep the quality bar high, and make sure we keep shipping, as a close sparring partner to our founders and product leadership. You lead the team day to day and still roll up your sleeves when a problem needs your hands on it.
 
Your responsibilities

• Lead a small, highly experienced engineering team (5 people): set clear priorities, delegate real ownership, and keep people growing through 1:1s, code-review guidance, and technical sparring.
• Own engineering quality: reliable standards, architectural reviews, production readiness, and the final gate before release.
• Act as technical sparring partner for founders, product, and design, and drive delivery end-to-end: from solution design to production, in short cycles, including advancing our SaaS onboarding.
• Oversee the architecture across distributed systems, APIs, desktop applications, our AWS infrastructure and internal DevOps platform, and a multi-repository codebase with solid infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and observability behind it.
• Own security and compliance in practice: ISO continuity, least-privilege access, secrets management, PKI, and supply-chain security, including recurring audits and technical due diligence.
• Push our production AI support agent further: more automated ticket resolution, production-grade RAG, tool calling, evaluations, guardrails, and monitoring.

• 10+ years in software engineering, with proven experience leading and developing a small, senior team.
• You’ve grown up in early-stage startups (seed to Series B) and know that stage, a purely corporate or
