Head of Software Engineering

We’re working with a high-growth, venture-backed technology company building an institutional-grade risk and analytics platform operating at serious scale.

They’re looking for a senior engineering leader to own and evolve the core platform, someone equally comfortable setting technical direction, shaping architecture, and leading high-performing engineering teams across backend, data, and platform disciplines.

This is a hands‑on leadership role with real influence.

Responsibilities

• The technical roadmap
• Scaling distributed systems and high‑throughput data pipelines
• Embedding automation and intelligence‑driven capabilities into an enterprise‑ready product.

You’ll work closely with product and analytics teams to turn customer and market requirements into resilient, scalable architecture, while building and mentoring a strong, globally distributed engineering organisation.

This role suits someone who enjoys owning complex systems end‑to‑end, thrives in fast‑moving environments, and wants to build technology that sits at the core of critical decision‑making.

Qualifications

• Senior engineering leadership experience in high‑growth or enterprise SaaS environments
• Strong background in distributed, cloud‑native systems and data‑heavy platforms
• Experience scaling teams and platforms simultaneously
• An architectural mindset with a bias toward delivery
• Comfortable operating in remote‑first, product‑led organisations

Benefits

• Up to $180k base salary + Equity
• Fully remote working – UK/Europe ONLY – NO SPONSORSHIP AVAILABLE
• Series A business with strong runway and institutional traction
• Genuine ownership and influence over platform and team direction

If you’re an engineering leader looking to build and scale something technically ambitious rather than just manage headcount, then please reach out.
