VP of Software Engineering [B2B SaaS]
*This role requires relocation to Dubai*
I’m partnering with a high-growth B2B SaaS company looking to hire a hands-on CTO to lead the next stage of platform scale, unification, and AI-driven product evolution.
The business already has live enterprise clients, contracted recurring revenue, international expansion underway, and a significant proprietary data advantage. This is a rare opportunity to shape a platform operating at the intersection of SaaS, data, AI, and real-world operations.
This is a highly hands-on leadership role with full ownership across engineering, architecture, delivery standards, platform reliability, and AI direction. The right person will raise the engineering bar, improve execution velocity, strengthen data trust, and help define how AI becomes embedded into the core operating logic of the platform.
Key areas of focus:
- Scaling enterprise-grade, multi-tenant systems
- Unifying legacy and modern platform architecture
- Building trusted, operationally critical data systems
- Driving AI/ML adoption with measurable business impact
- Leading engineering teams through growth and change
- Improving delivery pace, accountability, and technical standards
Must have:
- 12+ years of senior engineering leadership within enterprise B2B SaaS or operationally complex environments
- Strong technical depth and architectural credibility
- Experience owning modern data stacks and production AI systems
- Proven ability to scale teams and make difficult organisational decisions
- Comfortable operating in fast-moving, commercially critical environments
