Job Description:

Build. Lead. Scale. Make real environmental impact.

We’re partnering with a remote-first, early-stage ClimateTech startup building an advanced analytics and observability platform designed to make the digital supply chain cleaner, faster, and more cost-efficient.

They’re looking for a hands-on Head of Engineering to take ownership of technical delivery and help scale both the platform and the team.

This is a true player-coach role; ideal for someone who loves shaping strategy but is equally happy rolling up their sleeves.

The role:

You’ll work closely with the CTO to translate product vision into robust, scalable B2B SaaS, while embedding best-in-class engineering practices.

Key focus areas:

  • Own end-to-end engineering delivery
  • Lead, mentor and grow a high-performing remote team
  • Drive CI/CD, testing and observability standards
  • Make pragmatic architecture decisions for scale
  • Ensure platform reliability and performance
  • Support hiring as the team grows

About you

We’re open-minded on background, but you’ll likely bring:

  • 7+ years in software engineering
  • 2 years experience in a technical leadership role
  • Strong full-stack capability
  • Expertise in at least one backend language; Python, Go, Node.js
  • Cloud-native experience; AWS, GCP or Azure
  • Product-centric mindset
  • Comfortable in fast-moving startup environments
  • People-first leadership style
  • Experience with remote/distributed teams

Nice to have:

B2B SaaS, media/streaming, or CleanTech exposure.

Package

  • Fully remote (GMT ±2)
  • 33 days holiday
  • Flexible 35-hour week
  • Pension
  • Quarterly offsites
  • Full home office setup (including company macbook)

Why this role?

You’ll be joining at a pivotal growth moment, with real ownership, real influence, and the chance to build technology that meaningfully reduces the environmental impact of digital infrastructure.
