Associate Director | Building Winning Teams for Tech Companies & High-Growth Startups

Director of Product Engineering – London (Hybrid)

We’re looking for a hands-on product engineering leader to help scale a cutting-edge AI platform tackling some of the most complex technical challenges in multi-document reasoning, temporal logic, and workflow orchestration. This is a rare opportunity to combine deep technical work with building an engineering organisation from the ground up — in an industry worth $9 trillion.

You’ll join a well-funded, fast-growing start-up already delivering breakthrough AI solutions to enterprise clients. With an existing team of 8 senior engineers and plans to grow to 50+, we need a leader who can code alongside the team today while scaling the organisation for tomorrow.

What You’ll Be Doing

Short-term:

• Contribute production code daily to solve high-impact engineering problems
• Architect next-generation AI systems that push the boundaries of what’s possible
• Define technical excellence standards and processes from day one
• Drive architectural decisions that position the platform years ahead of the market

Long-term:

• Build and lead a high-performing engineering organisation across multiple product lines
• Partner with product leadership to translate ambitious AI capabilities into market-ready products
• Create a culture that delivers innovation at speed without sacrificing quality
• Balance short-term delivery with a sustainable technical strategy

What We’re Looking For

• 15+ years in software engineering, with 5+ years scaling and leading technical teams
• Proven hands-on coding ability — ideally in Python (other modern languages considered)
• Deep understanding of system design, APIs, databases, and distributed systems
• Experience shipping complex products end-to-end, from concept to scale
• Track record of growing engineering teams from 10 to 100+ people
• Background in AI/ML, document processing, or complex workflow systems (desirable)
• Strong collaboration skills and ability to influence across product and business teams
• Startup experience, ideally scaling from Series A to growth stage

Why Join?

• Shape and scale an engineering organisation that will transform an entire industry
• Stay technical while stepping into a high-impact leadership role
• Work on cutting-edge AI technology solving problems once thought impossible
• Significant equity package and a clear path to VP-level leadership
• Hybrid working model with flexibility and autonomy
