Salary: Extremely competitive + Generous Equity component
A leading global consulting business in Process Automation is looking for a Head of Engineering to be a leading player in the Services side of their business.
The company is recognized as a leader in the commercial application of Artificial Intelligence, having implemented models in over 300 companies globally.
The Head of Engineering will lead a talented engineering team of 8 people on the services side of the company. You will be responsible for setting processes and standards for the team and leading client relationships from an engineering perspective, being heavily involved in both pre and post-sales activities.
The team you will lead consists of PhD-level engineers who primarily work in Python to deploy Machine Learning Models. They also work with Scala and React.js. This team is expected to double over the next 12 months.
- Mid-term career progression could see you take on a wider team of Data Scientists as well.
- Longer term, you may step into the CTO role within the Services business, which will become available.
Suitable Candidates:
- Experienced software engineering background with experience in both front-end and back-end applications. Must still be a hands-on coder.
- Language agnostic but ideally experienced with Python, R, Scala, C++, Java, etc.
- Experience in leading and mentoring a team of junior engineers.
- Strong commercial communication skills to lead relationships with commercial stakeholders up to C-Level, distilling complex concepts into simple business language.
- Knowledge to provide thought leadership in the Cloud and Machine Learning space.
Although this role will initially require a significant hands-on element, as the team grows and the responsibilities of the incumbent increase, this hands-on aspect will diminish.
