What we need your help with

The VP of Engineering will be responsible for leading an extremely talented, multi-cultural engineering team, developing our engineering culture, coordinating strategic technology choices and keeping the business on schedule. Work closely with the CTO and product team in tool selection, delivery roadmaps and other areas.

Tech-wise, as the business grows and new customers are onboarded we'll need to build the product in additional development languages, and increase the complexity and features of existing languages.

People-wise, the recruitment of talented engineers will be a top priority for the VP of Engineering. The founding team split their time between Paris and San-Francisco and the VP Engineering will be the most senior leader based in Paris full-time.

  • Actively inspire and encourage talent development and career progression within the engineering team
  • Coordinate feature design with the Product team, define and prioritize the engineering roadmap and ensure delivery meets expectations
  • Drive the right technology choices and internal adoption with the CTO
  • Take appropriate risks, and proactively evaluate and manage incoming technical debt
  • Develop best practices for testing, deploying, and developing features and releases

    • Understanding of modern architecture and design principles and development methodologies
  • Leadership experience
    • A minimum of four years’ direct technical management experience
    • You've already managed a team of at least ten engineers
    • Technical leadership in high-growth VC / PE or privately-held software, SaaS or data businesses
    • Able to provide leadership to a highly technical team, earning their respect whilst ensuring delivery against the defined technology roadmap
    • Experience building, leading, and scaling engineering and development teams, with exposure to various structures including in-house, near-shore, and outsourcing
    • Comfortable peering with the CTO to set a technical product vision and make technology choices
    • Can articulate technology vision and delivery strategy in a language that enables discussion with a technical and non-technical audiences
