Head of Engineering - AI‑Driven Tech Organisation - Remote
Salary: Up to £150,000
Location: Remote (UK)
Job Type: Permanent
About the Role
A rapidly scaling technology business at the forefront of AI‑assisted engineering is looking for an experienced Head of Engineering to lead three core technical areas: Web, Data, and Data Science. This role is perfect for someone excited by modern engineering practices, greenfield product development, and organisations that use AI as a core part of how they build software. If you enjoy problem‑solving in non‑traditional ways, thrive in a friendly and informal culture, and want to work with cutting‑edge AI tools (including ChatGPT and Gemini), this is an exceptional opportunity.
What You'll Be Doing
Leading Web, Data, and Data Science teams across a large engineering organisation
Managing multiple senior direct reports and developing strong leadership capability
Driving engineering delivery, process quality, and technical standards
Contributing to architectural decisions across distributed data systems, ML pipelines, and modern web applications
Working closely with the C-suite on engineering strategy and org development
Embedding AI‑driven development workflows (70% of code is generated using AI tools)
Supporting the build of entirely greenfield products and systems.
Key Requirements:
Web teams
Data engineering teams using distributed technologies (e.g., Spark)
Data Science / ML teams
Leadership experience over multi‑discipline engineering teams
Strong soft‑skills leadership: coaching, clarity, communication
Experience in high‑growth, fast‑changing environments
A passion for AI, experimentation, and innovative engineering approaches
Why This Role Stands Out:
Entirely greenfield work across new products and platforms
Ultra‑modern tech stack and engineering culture
Company is far ahead of the industry in AI adoption
Opportunity to work with AI tools daily
Startup mindset
