• Partnering closely with the CTO on technology strategy, platform evolution, and future capability.
• Balancing delivery pressure with sustainable, high-quality engineering.

About You

• 5+ years in a senior engineering leadership role (Director, Head of Engineering, VP, or Senior Engineering Manager).
• Strong technical background, having progressed from hands-on software engineering.
• Proven experience managing managers and scaling engineering teams 30+.
• Comfortable leading distributed and offshore teams.
• Deep understanding of modern & mature software development and DevOps practices.
• Analytical, pragmatic, and outcome-focused; with the credibility to engage at both strategic and technical levels.

• Senior leadership position with genuine influence and ownership.
• A company that invests in technology, tools, and training.
• Modern tech stack, robust engineering processes, and clear growth ambitions.
• Remote-first culture with purposeful collaboration.
• Opportunity to shape engineering culture at scale, not just maintain it.

If you’re managing managers, scaling teams, and want to do it in an environment that values engineering quality and long-term thinking, I’d be keen to talk.
