You will collaborate closely with Product, Data, and Tech leadership to influence platform architecture, operational frameworks, and team development. Your impact will extend across the organization, shaping both the engineering culture and the delivery of cutting-edge, AI-powered digital solutions. Accountabilities: Lead, mentor, and scale engineering teams of 30+ engineers, including Engineering Managers and Staff Engineers.

Oversee strategic hiring, organizational design, talent development, budgeting, and resource planning. Drive cross-functional initiatives to improve platform reliability, scalability, and security. 10+ years of experience in software engineering, including at least 5 years in senior engineering leadership roles. Proven experience leading organizations of 30+ engineers across multiple teams and domains. Strong technical foundation in modern software architecture, cloud infrastructure, and distributed systems. Demonstrated ability to scale teams, enhance processes, and align engineering efforts with business outcomes. Experience embedding AI and machine learning into products, platforms, or engineering operations. Deep knowledge of agile methodologies, DevOps practices, and quality assurance at scale. Exceptional communication, leadership, and people management skills, with the ability to inspire and guide teams. Experience in AdTech or SaaS is a strong plus. Strong judgment and decision-making skills in high-stakes, complex environments. Passion for building high-performing teams, engineering culture, and AI-powered innovation. Competitive, transparent, above-market salary. 100% remote work within Europe with flexible working hours and part-time models. Opportunities for professional development and learning, including access to courses and training. In-person department and company events to foster collaboration and community. Home office or co-working space support and allowances. Relocation and visa support on a case-by-case basis. Join a fast-growing, highly-skilled team in a collaborative and innovative environment.
