Head of Engineering

The Head of Engineering at Entsia owns how we build, run, and evolve our platform, ensuring engineering operates as a reliable and scalable system that delivers high-quality outcomes consistently. The role establishes the structure, standards and ways of working that enable engineering teams to deliver predictably, maintain platform integrity, and support the company’s growth.

Skills And Experience

• Experience leading engineering in a B2B SaaS or platform business, with accountability for delivery, platform performance and reliability, and technical sustainability.
• Proven ability to establish and evolve engineering as a coherent function, introducing structure, standards, and consistent ways of working across multiple teams and disciplines.
• Experience leading through managers and senior leaders, building leadership capability and alignment across teams.
• Strong track record of shaping engineering environments toward scalable, platform-based approaches, balancing speed, quality, and long-term sustainability.
• Ability to set and maintain technical direction, ensuring standards, priorities and trade-offs are applied consistently across teams, particularly in environments with evolving priorities.
• Strong judgement in defining how engineering should operate as the business grows, including organisation design, capability development, and operating model evolution.
