Head of Engineering needed for tech company in Amsterdam

Mostly office based - Dutch speaking essential - Up to €12,000 pcm

Unable to really affect change in your organisation?

Fed up of implementing someone else's plans?

Tech stack feeling a little stale?

If you tick any of these boxes, I have a fantastic opportunity available for an ambitious Engineering Leader.

Kando is working exclusively to recruit a Head of Engineering for one of our clients in Amsterdam.

This role will report directly into an experienced CTO, with two Team Leads and an Architect reporting into you.

However, the CTO is based elsewhere. So, this role has a broad mandate from ideation through to implementation.

The company is an established, profitable product business that has just gone through an extensive migration to bring it's current stack right to the cutting edge of technology.

They're also fully committed to an AI-integrated SDLC, meaning you'll be responsible for ensuring the company takes an ambitious but sustainable approach to AI implementation.

If you recognise yourself in these points, I'd love to hear from you:

• You love coaching and developing people


• You come from a strong software engineering background and remain technically credible


• You want an increased mandate and genuine ownership over engineering direction


• You want to work with the latest tech in a high-traffic environment


• You enjoy being in the office and thrive in a collaborative culture
