We are looking for an experienced engineering leader to join our engineering leadership team. At Board Intelligence, engineering leaders are also hands-on builders: you will lead and grow a team while staying technical and contributing to our products.

• Shape technical architecture and key decisions with the CTO and other engineering leaders.
• Hire and develop strong engineers as the team grows.
• Champion AI-assisted engineering that is built on solid fundamentals.
• Work closely with product and the wider business to deliver what our clients need.

Qualifications

• Extensive software engineering experience, including a proven track record of leading engineering teams.
• Hands-on technical ability, with recent experience writing production code.
• A track record of coaching, mentoring and growing engineers.
• Broad technical knowledge across the stack, with deep expertise in at least one area.
• Strong system design and architecture skills.
• Clear, confident communication and the ability to influence at all levels.
• Experience using AI coding tools, and a view on how they change the way teams work.
• Fluent written and spoken English.

Nice to haves

• Experience in a high-growth B2B SaaS company.
• Experience building for enterprise clients, ideally in regulated industries.
• Experience designing career frameworks or engineering levels.
• Experience leading remote or distributed teams.

What good looks like in this role

• After three months: you know your team, our products and our clients, you have built trust, and you are contributing code.
• After six months: your team is delivering consistently to a higher standard, and you are helping to hire and grow engineers.
• After twelve months: you are a trusted leader across engineering, your team is strong and growing, and you are shaping the direction of engineering at Board Intelligence.
