About Genesy AI

Genesy AI is a Barcelona-based startup on a mission to revolutionize how B2B sales and prospecting teams operate. Our cutting-edge AI-driven lead generation technology empowers sales teams to focus on what truly matters: selling. By automating manual prospecting, we help optimize workflows, ensuring a predictable and scalable sales pipeline—no wasted time, just results.

Funding and Growth

After successfully raising €5 million in a landmark seed funding round to grow our team and scale in key markets, we’re looking for a passionate Head of Engineering to join us.

Role Overview

As VP / Head of Engineering, you’ll take full ownership of the engineering org: its people, structure, delivery performance, and long-term scalability. Your mission is to ensure that engineering is a force multiplier, enabling fast product iteration, reliable operations, and a strong culture of ownership and excellence.

You’ll work closely with the CTO and Product leadership to align technical execution with company strategy, while spending most of your time managing people and processes rather than writing code.

Responsibilities

• Manage, mentor, and grow a high-performing engineering team (currently ~8 engineers, scaling to 15+)
• Hire and retain top talent; build scalable onboarding and performance frameworks
• Lead 1:1s, career growth planning, and feedback cycles
• Promote a culture of autonomy, accountability, and continuous improvement

Execution & Delivery

• Own engineering delivery and process; drive consistent output across multiple product and platform teams
• Define and enforce delivery standards, quality assurance, and sprint cadences
• Track and improve key engineering KPIs (velocity, deployment frequency, incident rate, etc.)
• Partner with Product on prioritization and scoping to balance speed and stability
• Define the engineering org’s structure and scale it as we grow
• Own headcount planning, budgeting, and team allocation
• Translate company strategy into actionable engineering roadmaps and staffing plans
• Foster cross-team collaboration with Product, Design, and Customer teams

Technical Oversight

• Help ensure we make pragmatic, scalable architectural decisions — even if you're not hands-on
• Guide the team through build-vs-buy, refactor-vs-replace, and long-term tech debt trade-offs
• Oversee security, reliability, and compliance practices

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience leading engineering teams at high-growth B2B SaaS companies
• Experience in a Senior Management, Director, VP, or Head of Engineering role
• Strong people management and org design skills; track record of scaling teams
• Deep understanding of modern software development practices
• Comfortable with ambiguity and shifting priorities in a fast-paced startup
• Not afraid to push back, challenge assumptions, and drive clarity

Location

Barcelona-based, in-office, with some telework flexibility.

Nice-to-Have

• Experience in AI / ML-based products, or outbound sales / CRM systems

What We Offer

• Competitive salary tailored to your experience.
• Enticing performance bonuses that you won’t see anywhere else.
• Flexible remuneration through Cobee.
• Short Fridays all year round and extra days of vacation for your birthday and Geneversary.
• A discount on a premium gym (with spa access) just a step away.
• Free fresh fruit every day to help you care for your health.
• Free coffee to keep you energized.
• A discount at a beachfront cafe where you can also get daily menu deals.
• Beachfront office so you can work with stunning sea views—an inspiring and energizing workspace.
• Direct beach access to take breaks by the sea and recharge.
• Continuous learning, including mentoring, coaching, workshops, and SaaS conference opportunities.
• Career growth opportunities, as we won’t let your dedication and results go unnoticed.
• Team gatherings and celebrations to build connections and celebrate achievements.
• A collaborative culture fostering hard work, teamwork, transparency, and respect.
