Head of Engineering

Head of Engineering – AI‑Driven Tech Organisation – Remote

Salary: Up to £150,000

Location: Remote (UK)

Job Type: Permanent

About the Role

A rapidly scaling technology business at the forefront of AI‑assisted engineering is looking for an experienced Head of Engineering to lead three core technical areas: Web, Data, and Data Science. This role is perfect for someone excited by modern engineering practices, greenfield product development, and organisations that use AI as a core part of how they build software. If you enjoy problem‑solving in non‑traditional ways, thrive in a friendly and informal culture, and want to work with cutting‑edge AI tools (including ChatGPT and Gemini), this is an exceptional opportunity.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading Web, Data, and Data Science teams across a large engineering organisation
• Managing multiple senior direct reports and developing strong leadership capability
• Driving engineering delivery, process quality, and technical standards
• Contributing to architectural decisions across distributed data systems, ML pipelines, and modern web applications
• Working closely with the C‑suite on engineering strategy and org development
• Embedding AI‑driven development workflows (70% of code is generated using AI tools)
• Supporting the build of entirely greenfield products and systems.

Key Requirements

• Web teams
• Data engineering teams using distributed technologies (e.g., Spark)
• Data Science / ML teams
• Leadership experience over multi‑discipline engineering teams
• Strong soft‑skills leadership: coaching, clarity, communication
• Experience in high‑growth, fast‑changing environments
• A passion for AI, experimentation, and innovative engineering approaches

Why This Role Stands Out

• Entirely greenfield work across new products and platforms
• Ultra‑modern tech stack and engineering culture
• Company is far ahead of the industry in AI adoption
• Opportunity to work with AI tools daily
• Startup mindset
