Requirements
- Proven track record leading high-performing engineering teams at scale — you've built, grown, and developed engineering organisations, not just managed them
- Genuine conviction about AI in engineering — you've moved teams beyond AI as a curiosity to AI as a core capability multiplier
- Strategic technical depth — you can engage credibly with senior engineers on architecture without needing to be the smartest technologist in the room
- Experience with SaaS product companies — you understand how engineering decisions compound into product and commercial outcomes
- Comfort with complexity — you've navigated hybrid environments combining legacy systems and modern platforms, and you've made that transition well
- Strong presence and communication — you lead in person, you build trust quickly, and you make hard decisions with clarity
- Collaborative by default — you partner well with Product, Commercial, and the wider leadership team to create alignment, not just agreements
- Travel to our various offices across the globe including Colombia, UK, Canada, and Australia — this is an on-site leadership role
Responsibilities
- Build, mentor, and inspire high-performing engineering teams.
- Drive a culture of ownership, craft, and continuous improvement from squad level to organizational level.
- Develop engineering managers and create clear career pathways for individual contributors and leaders.
- Champion the integration of AI into every layer of how we build — from developer tooling and CI/CD intelligence to the AI agents at the heart of Simpro Group Lightning.
- Partner with Product and the C-suite to shape the technical roadmap.
- Balance velocity on new capabilities with architectural health across a hybrid legacy and modern stack.
- Translate business goals into clear engineering priorities.
- Oversee the continued migration from AWS EC2 monolith toward AWS EKS microservices.
