Head of Engineering

Location: Remote

Salary: £130,000

Own the engineering engine behind enterprise search intelligence, where GenAI, massive data, and leadership at scale collide.

Opportunity

This is an opportunity to join and help scale a market-leading technology business operating at the intersection of large-scale data, AI, and the future of search. The company works with global enterprise clients, delivering mission-critical intelligence that directly informs commercial decision-making at scale. It is already a mature, revenue-generating platform, but is now entering a significant growth phase as search evolves beyond traditional engines into LLM-driven experiences.

AI and automation are embedded into both the product and the way engineering teams operate, creating a genuinely forward-thinking environment. For the right leader, this offers the chance to shape the next phase of a proven business while influencing how modern, AI-enabled software organisations are built.

Role and Responsibilities

The role is responsible for leading multiple engineering teams and owning end-to-end delivery across a complex, data-driven platform used by enterprise customers. You will set technical direction and guide architecture across distributed systems, large-scale data processing (Scala, Spark, Databricks), machine learning pipelines, and cloud-native infrastructure on AWS. A core focus is driving high-quality execution through strong engineering practices including CI/CD, observability, DevOps, and reliable production operations.

You will partner closely with Product, Data Science, and Analytics to turn advanced models and insights into scalable, customer-facing solutions, while overseeing web development built on TypeScript and React. Alongside hands-on technical leadership, the role carries full ownership of team growth, performance, and shaping how modern AI-assisted engineering is embedded across the organisation.
