Careerscape is recruiting on behalf of our client, a growing technology company in the greater Manchester, New Hampshire area, for an experienced Head of Engineering to lead their software organization.

- Oversee system architecture decisions to ensure scalability, security, and reliability
- Manage engineering budgets, headcount planning, and vendor or tooling decisions
- Drive a culture of accountability, ownership, and continuous improvement across teams
- Report on engineering health, delivery timelines, and technical risk to executive leadership
- Recruit, hire, and retain top engineering talent at all levels
- Represent engineering in company-wide strategic planning and decision-making
Requirements
- 10+ years of software engineering experience with at least 4 years in senior engineering leadership
- Proven track record leading and scaling engineering teams of 20 or more
- Strong background in modern software architecture, cloud infrastructure, and distributed systems
- Experience partnering with Product and executive stakeholders on company strategy
- Demonstrated success hiring, mentoring, and developing engineering managers
- Solid understanding of agile development practices and delivery methodologies
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical audiences
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience
- Experience operating in a hybrid or distributed team environment
Benefits
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
- 401k plan with employer match
- Generous paid time off and company holidays
- Hybrid work schedule with flexibility
- Equity or performance-based bonus eligibility
- Professional development and conference budget
- Paid parental leave
- Life and disability insurance
- Wellness and mental health benefits
- Relocation assistance for qualified candidates
