Head of Engineering (f/m/d)
Moss, Berlin +2
The role
We're hiring a Head of Engineering to lead engineering for one of our product tribes. You'll manage 15 to 20 engineers directly, with tech leads in each squad owning technical direction but no management layer between you and the team. You report to the CTO and sit in a tribe leadership trio with the Product Tribe Lead and Design Lead. Which tribe you'd lead is something we'll work out with you during the process.
This is a people leadership role with a hard technical requirement. The engineers report to you, so hiring, development, performance and pace are yours. At the same time you have to hold your own on system architecture: challenge estimates from your engineers, spar with the Product Tribe Lead on solutions, and know when a design is wrong before it ships. This role needs both.
What you will do
- Feasibility and delivery for the tribe. You're accountable for tribe-wide delivery outcomes and velocity: the right problems, solved at the right quality, as fast as possible.
- The people. 15 to 20 direct reports. Hiring, onboarding, expectations, feedback, development, compensation and promotion recommendations, and the tough calls that keep talent density high. Tech Leads feed you performance signals; the decisions and the conversations are yours.
