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.
