HEAD OF ENGINEERING AT SO ENERGY

Reporting into our Director of Technology Muhammad Khan, we’re looking for a Head of Engineering to join the team.
We’re looking for a Head of Engineering to shape, scale, and evolve our technology function as we grow our customer base. Reporting into the Director of Technology, you’ll lead our engineering teams across multiple squads, champion best practice, and help create the culture, systems, and delivery foundations needed for sustainable scale.
You’ll bring day-to-day clarity, unblock delivery teams, and coach our Tech Leads and Engineers directly, combining strategic thinking with operational involvement.
You’ll be joining at a pivotal time. We’re scaling our platform to support growth, improve resilience, and enable faster product innovation. With AI and automation increasingly at the heart of how we work, from streamlining operations to enhancing customer experience, you will help ensure that AI is applied thoughtfully, ethically and effectively.
You’ll play a key role in setting architectural direction, partnering closely with Product, Operations and Commercial to make sure we’re solving the right problems in the right way and delivering outcomes that matter to our customers.

• Proven experience leading and growing engineering teams in a scale-up or high-growth environment.
• Strong technical background able to challenge, support and coach on architecture and delivery decisions.
• A strategic mindset with the ability to balance short-term priorities with long-term vision.
• Collaborative and open, with a strong belief in cross-functional delivery and empowered teams.
• Experience working in a product-led environment, partnering with Product Managers, Designers and Business Stakeholders.
• A systems thinker: able to navigate technical, organisational, and human systems to create long-term value.
• Practical experience applying AI in engineering workflows, and a clear stance on ethical and responsible AI usage.
• Commitment to sustainability in tech, designing architectures and practices that are resilient and environmentally conscious.
• Passion for sustainability and a drive to build products and teams that make a meaningful impact.
