Job description

Head of Engineering

Remote - Berlin

Competitive Salary + Equity + Benefits

This isn’t one of those roles where you’ll just “oversee” things. It’s a hands-on leadership opportunity at a high-growth AI automation scale-up fresh off the back of a Series A funding round. With serious backing, they’re scaling globally, and engineering is at the centre of that growth.

They are looking for a top-tier engineering leader. Someone who codes. Who prototypes. Who refactors. Someone with the strategic brain of a CTO, and the build-it-yourself heart of a startup dev. If you’ve scaled early-stage SaaS into robust, scalable platforms—and you want to do it again, but better—this is a great opportunity.

Translate vision into an actionable, effective roadmap
Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, and leadership
Align engineering with business goals and product outcomes
