Head of Engineering

In this role, you will:

• Own day-to-day engineering execution for DX, the developer intelligence platform helps enterprise leaders understand developer productivity, quality, and speed across the SDLC.

• Lead, grow, and support an organization of managers and senior ICs delivering data pipelines, metrics engines, and AI-powered analytics and dashboards.

• Work directly with enterprise customers and internal design partners to validate hypotheses and inform what you build next.

• Establish core engineering rituals (planning, reviews, on‑call, incident management) suited to a fast‑moving, high‑ambiguity environment.

• Partner with Product and Design on a roadmap that balances near‑term value with long‑term platform and data investments.

Your background:

• 12+ years of experience in software engineering, with 5+ years in senior engineering leadership roles (Director/Head/VP level), ideally in SaaS startups.

• Served as the senior‑most engineering leader (or one of a very small number) at a Series A/B or equivalent high‑growth stage, including building teams from a small base. Ideally in developer tools, analytics, or AI‑driven products.

• Comfortable operating from 0→1 in high ambiguity: defining direction with limited precedent, iterating quickly, and adjusting based on customer and business signals.

• Proven track record of leading distributed engineering organizations (40+ engineers) through periods of growth and transformation.

• Demonstrated ability to set technical vision, drive execution, and deliver results in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

• Excellent communication, executive presence, experience interfacing with customers, and stakeholder management.
