Job Overview
We are seeking a Senior Director of Engineering to serve as a key leader in our Poland office and a key member of our global engineering leadership team. This role requires a seasoned engineering leader with a track record in SaaS leadership, product development excellence, and the ability to attract and develop top engineering talent at scale.Relativity already has a large Engineering team in our Poland office.
The Senior Director of Engineering will work with other AI leaders across Relativity to grow our AI-focused talent pool in Poland, encourage cross-functional learning and innovation in the Poland office, and own key functions and teams within our AI strategy. Our goal is to accelerate our AI innovation with the additional talent and scale of our Poland office.
While AI and data-driven systems remain an important part of our technology strategy, this role is intentionally broader in scope. The successful candidate will play multiple leadership roles: strategic partner to global product and engineering leadership, talent magnet for senior engineers and managers, and a key leader in Poland.
This role is ideal for senior leaders who have built and scaled engineering organizations within mature SaaS, global product companies, or high-quality product scaleups, particularly those with significant Polish engineering hubs.

Product & Technology Leadership
Lead multiple engineering teams responsible for customer-facing and AI-enabled SaaS products and core platform capabilities.

Partner closely with Product Management to ensure engineering execution aligns with business outcomes and customer value.
Provide executive-level oversight for AI-enabled capabilities, while maintaining a strong foundation in core SaaS engineering practices.

Experience scaling organizations through growth, transformation, or increased technical maturity.
Ability to operate comfortably at both strategic and hands-on leadership levels.
Prior experience working with or leading teams in Poland or Central/Eastern Europe is strongly preferred.

Partner with experienced global leaders while building something enduring locally.
