Summary:
My market leading client are looking to secure the services of a fractional Head of Engineering to assist with the overall direction and leadership of the Engineering Teams. Ideally coming from a SaaS driven background with a strong understanding of AI underpinned tools and environments, suitable consultants will have a proven track record acting as a conduit between Technical and C-Suite within the organisation. The ability to jump in from a hands on perspective with technologies such as Java, TS/JS, relational and non-relational databases (MySQL – Postgres – MongoDB) is highly desirable. AWS services are used heavily through the environment as well, and so strong understanding of scalability in software is also essential.
Key Approach:
● Natural leader who earns trust with a collaborative, yet persuasive style with excellent organisational, analytical and influencing skills.
● Clear, concise communicator with the ability to explain technical issues to anyone and get things done without unnecessary back-and-forth.
● Solid understanding of AI tools which improve efficiency and quality of coding and familiarity with deploying these within the engineering team.
● Proficiency in full-stack development and experience with modern languages (e.g., Java, Typescript/JS, MySQL/Postgres, MongoDB), always ready to dive in and code when needed.
● Strong background in cloud technologies (AWS) and microservices architectures. You know how to make things work, no matter the scale.
Key Experience:
● Experience in a fast-paced, B2B SaaS environment where moving quickly and delivering value.
● Experience working with cross-functional teams within a software organisation.
● A get-things-done mentality - no time for bureaucracy, just results.
● Familiarity with emerging technologies like AI and Machine Learning, and a passion for using them to shape the future of SaaS.
