Want to lead it?\n\nWe're\nlooking for a new Head of Engineering to lead memoQ's engineering organisation.\nIn this role, you'll lead 38 engineers in 5 teams, work with the CTO to turn\nour technical strategy into excellent software, and transform how we build it\nfor the AI era. You'll fit right in if you're a hands-on technologist who loves\ngrowing autonomous, self-organising teams, and if agile ways of working and\ncontinuous improvement are how you naturally operate.\n\nAnd here's\nwhat's on our side: an\norganisation with solid foundations, which means real room to build on these\nand grow even further and to shape an engineering culture for the AI era\ninstead of inheriting someone else's. Your colleagues come from\nengineering, product, support and the language industry, and they give honest,\nconstructive feedback and expect the same from you. Learning here is expected\nrather than squeezed in, and we back your advancement every day.\n\nYou already\nmeet the requirements if you have: \n\nA strong technical background and a solid grasp of modern software\nengineering practices and tools\n\nExperience leading an engineering team of a similar size\n\nSuccessful hands-on experience with agile methodologies such as Scrum\nHands-on experience with AI tools in software\ndevelopment\nThe return on\nyour investment \nYou're\nevaluating us too. Here's the pitch:\n\n An international company\n spread across 10 countries, serving clients in 15+ languages\n\n Real onboarding: a buddy,\n a plan, and no expectation of you figuring it out alone\n\n A department with no\n micromanagement, and the autonomy to make your own decisions\n\n Remote-friendly, with an\n office worth coming in for\n\n Annual learning budget\n for courses, certifications, conferences\n\n Private health insurance\n and AYCM access to keep you well, in every sense\n\n Annual salary reviews\n\n And the one that matters most: actual work-life balance.\n Doctor's appointment at 11? Go. Finished everything by 3? Don't sit there\n until 5. We hire you for your output, not your hours\n\nWhy memoQ? \nEvery time a global company launches a product in a\nnew market, someone's translation technology is doing quiet, load-bearing work\nbehind the scenes. Often, it's ours.\n\nmemoQ is a global market leader in translation\ntechnology and one of the 500 fastest-growing SaaS companies in the world. Our\nsoftware sits inside the workflows of enterprises, such as ASUS, HubSpot, or DHL. This is memoQ, handling work\nmost people never think about and no product launch can happen without.\n\nIt's a niche industry. It's also a fascinating one,\nand the problems are unusually good: decades-old file formats, real-time\ncollaboration, machine translation quality that nobody can measure cleanly, and\nusers who know their own craft far better than we know it. Many engineers have\nnever heard of this industry, but the ones who find their way in tend to stay.\n\nHow to apply \nIf you think you possess the necessary skills and\nexperience, please apply with your CV, cover letter (in English), and your\nexpected salary range.\n\nYou’ve\napplied. What’s next? \nWe want all of our candidates to have a smooth and\nefficient experience with us, which is why we aim to get back to you regarding\nyour application within a short time.\n\nAs we receive numerous applications for our positions,\nif your profile corresponds to our requirements to continue the process, we\nwill contact you. Please be aware that we might not be able to reach out to\neveryone whose profile was not selected.\n\nThe first step of the selection process is a screening\ncall with a member of the recruitment team. This is followed by an online\nmeeting with the hiring manager and a relevant stakeholder or depending on the\nnature of the role, sometimes we ask for some test/home assignment. The final\nstep is a chance to meet some of your potential teammates, it can be done in\nperson in the office or online.\n\nWhat we think\nwill help you succeed in this role \nNobody ticks\nevery box, but here is what makes a real difference:\n\nAnalytical\nthinking: you see the whole landscape, break large problems into smaller ones,\nand bring out the best in others\n\nLeadership\nthrough motivation and partnership: you set clear goals with your team, and\nyour default is to give them autonomy in how to reach them\n\nA\nteam that feels safe enough to disagree with you, where people ask for help,\nchallenge assumptions and experiment with new approaches\n\nConfident\ndecision-making: you know when to make the call yourself and how to build\nbuy-in\n\nExcitement\nabout AI’s potential in software development, and a sense of how to help teams\nuse AI tools well\n\nA\ndrive to help teams continuously improve their ways of working, quality and\ndelivery\n\nOpenness\nto alternative solutions, even when you know the established best practice\n\nConscientious\nand organised: you deliver what you promise, and you're happy to dive into the\ndetails when needed\n\nComfortable\nwith change and ambiguity: you change course flexibly when it makes sense\n\nConfident\nwritten and spoken English, since it’s our working language\n\nLiving\nnear Budapest or being able to travel there regularly, so you can spend some\ndays a week in our head office\nRequirements\n.NET\nGitHub\nScrum\nAI","description_format":"text","description_chars":5237,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Health
