Your Expertise

You’re a proven engineering leader with deep experience in building, scaling, and managing cross‑functional tech teams: data engineers, data scientists, data analysts, and developers. You’ve led teams through transformational growth, delivering stable, scalable SaaS products that retain and delight customers.

You understand what it takes to grow a business from early‑stage traction to a large‑scale, enterprise‑grade platform, and you’re ready to lay the technical foundations for our next phase of hyper‑growth. You also bring strong experience managing infrastructure partners, confidently navigating and shaping these critical relationships.

This isn’t a back‑seat role. You’ll be hands‑on where it counts, partnering with the Chief Product Officer to drive delivery, scalability, and long‑term success. You’ll guide senior stakeholders with clear, data‑driven insights, helping keep the roadmap on track in a fast‑moving, idea‑driven environment.

• Drive technical execution: Deliver and enhance our architecture, infrastructure, and product roadmap to ensure scalable growth and high‑performing solutions.
• Lead the team: Mentor and grow data engineers, scientists, analysts, and developers to deliver a high‑performing, collaborative culture.
• Ensure delivery & stability: Make sure features are delivered on time, scalable, and reliable, supporting long‑term customer retention.
• Manage key relationships: Own the infrastructure partner relationship to guarantee uptime, performance, and security.
• Partner with the Chief Product Officer: Align on roadmap priorities, balancing strategic vision with day‑to‑day execution.
• Drive enterprise‑grade excellence: Embed best‑in‑class engineering practices—agile, CI/CD, DevOps, security‑first design across teams.
• Champion scalability: Build products and systems that can grow globally and support tens of thousands of customers.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience as VP of Engineering, CTO, or senior technical leader in a high‑growth or Series A‑stage company.
• Solid/Strong Python development skills
• Proven ability to scale cross‑functional teams: data engineering, data science, analytics, and development.
• Hands‑on experience delivering stable, scalable SaaS products with measurable customer impact.
• Experience managing infrastructure partners and external technical relationships.
• Confident and polite stakeholder management, able to challenge senior leaders while keeping delivery on track.
• Track record of leading transformational growth, scaling teams and products successfully.
• Excellent communication — bridging tech, product, and commercial discussions seamlessly.
• Customer‑first mindset — building products that retain and delight users.

This is a role for someone who’s been there, done it, and is ready to do it again with more ownership, autonomy, and impact than ever before in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment.
