Head of Engineering (f/m/d)

We're hiring a Head of Engineering to lead engineering for one of our product tribes. You'll manage 15 to 20 engineers directly, with tech leads in each squad owning technical direction but no management layer between you and the team. You report to the CTO and sit in a tribe leadership trio with the Product Tribe Lead and Design Lead. Which tribe you'd lead is something we'll work out with you during the process.

This is a people leadership role with a hard technical requirement. The engineers report to you, so hiring, development, performance and pace are yours. At the same time you have to hold your own on system architecture: challenge estimates from your engineers, spar with the Product Tribe Lead on solutions, and know when a design is wrong before it ships. This role needs both.

Tribes are the organisational body: people management, capacity, planning and reporting live there. Squads are assigned to problem spaces and run discovery and delivery, each led by a trio of Tech Lead, Product Manager and Product Designer. Tech Leads own the technical decisions in their squad, including estimates, and write code alongside their engineers. They don't manage people. You do.

We keep the structure deliberately flat. Management is anchored at tribe level, squad composition flexes to serve the most important work, and structure changes as we learn (roughly every six months in practice, not on a schedule). Discovery and delivery run in parallel: the next mission is scoped before engineers finish the current one, so engineers weigh in on architecture early and have the context to unblock themselves.
