Head of Engineering
Head of Engineering - AI-Driven Tech Organisation - Remote
Salary: Up to £150,000 Location: Remote (UK)Job Type: Permanent
About the Role
A rapidly scaling technology business at the forefront of AI-assisted engineering is looking for an experienced Head of Engineering to lead three core technical areas: Web, Data, and Data Science. This role is perfect for someone excited by modern engineering practices, greenfield product development, and organisations that use AI as a core part of how they build software. If you enjoy problem-solving in non-traditional ways, thrive in a friendly and informal culture, and want to work with cutting-edge AI tools (including ChatGPT and Gemini), this is an exceptional opportunity.
What You'll Be Doing
- Leading Web, Data, and Data Science teams across a large engineering organisation
- Managing multiple senior direct reports and developing strong leadership capability
- Driving engineering delivery, process quality, and technical standards
- Contributing to architectural decisions across distributed data systems, ML pipelines, and modern web applications
- Working closely with the C-suite on engineering strategy and org development
- Embedding AI-driven development workflows (70% of code is generated using AI tools)
- Supporting the build of entirely greenfield products and systems .
Key Requirements:
- Web teams
- Data engineering teams using distributed technologies (e.g., Spark)
- Data Science / ML teams
- Leadership experience over multi-discipline engineering teams
- Strong soft-skills leadership: coaching, clarity, communication
- Experience in high-growth, fast-changing environments
- A passion for AI, experimentation, and innovative engineering approaches
Why This Role Stands Out:
- Entirely greenfield work across new products and platforms
- Ultra-modern tech stack and engineering culture
- Company is far ahead of the industry in AI adoption
- Opportunity to work with AI tools daily
- Startup mindset
