About this role
Head of Engineering
What You Will Be Doing
- Lead and develop the Shoppingfeed Engineering organisation. Define and evolve the platform architecture alongside technical leaders. Own engineering execution, delivery quality and technical excellence. Build scalable engineering processes and improve development practices. Mentor Engineering Managers / Tech Leads. Partner closely with Product Management to execute the product roadmap. Drive architectural decisions that improve scalability, reliability and performance. Champion modern software engineering practices, cloud technologies and DevOps. Ensure engineering decisions balance customer value, technical quality and long-term maintainability.

What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience leading software engineering teams within SaaS. Strong technical background with experience in software architecture. Experience managing Engineering Managers or Technical Leads.

Education & Experience
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or related discipline. 10+ years’ experience in software engineering. Several years in engineering leadership positions.
