Are you an established Head of Engineering with a passion for building high-performing teams and a product-focused culture? ✨

Or an ambitious Tech Lead looking for an opportunity to step up and build something of your own?

If so, this could be the opportunity for you.

I'm working with a fast-growing, mission-driven startup that has already been featured globally by Apple and has built a user base in the hundreds of thousands 🌍📱

With the product now scaling across new markets and the engineering function ready for its next phase, they're hiring a hands-on Head of Engineering to help lead and shape their technical future.

This is a rare opportunity to lay the technical and cultural foundations from scratch and is perfect for someone who’s been part of a scaling team, be that as a Senior Software Engineer, or a Technical Leader.

Looking for a hypergrowth opportunity? Then this may not be the place for you. Rather than chasing rapid headcount growth, this business are focusing on sustainable scaling, with the view to build a lean, collaborative, and high performing team that are passionate about what they do🌟

Responsibilities:

  • Defining and owning the technical strategy, stack and architecture
  • Building a lean, focused and collaborative engineering culture from scratch
  • Hiring, mentoring and leading a team of engineers across mobile and backend
  • Working closely with Product, Design and Leadership to ship impactful features
  • Leveraging AI, automation and modern tooling to accelerate output and quality
  • Balancing speed, scale and maintainability in a growing mobile B2C platform

Requirements:

  • 10+ years in software engineering
  • 5+ years leading high-performing teams
  • Experience shipping high-quality mobile apps (React Native ideal)
  • Strong background in cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP etc.)
  • Hands-on leadership style - you’re still happy to dive into code when needed
  • Startup/scale-up experience essential
  • Deep understanding of product and user-led development
  • Data-driven and pragmatic decision-making
  • Track record of building scalable consumer-facing products
  • Bonus: Passion for the outdoors, nature, or social impact work 🌱

Package

  • Up to £100,000 base salary
  • Generous stock options
  • Remote-first working – collaborate from anywhere in CET / UK timezone
  • Quarterly in-person sessions (London)
  • Co-working allowance
  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays
  • Birthday off
  • Annual team offsite & other events
  • A mission-led product you’ll be proud to tell people about 🌍

Please note, this role will involve hands-on coding, so please only apply if you are still happy to work in a hands-on capacity and have done so in recent roles!
