Head of Software Engineering
About
A venture-backed enterprise B2B SaaS company in the property / real estate technology space. Fast-growing, acquisition-driven business with a multi-entity structure across Europe. Well-funded, profitable, and scaling.
The Role
We're looking for a Head of Software Engineering to own the entire platform engineering function. You'll lead a distributed org of 50+ engineers across several European locations, reporting directly to the CTPO.
This isn't a hands-on IC role or a single-team tech lead position. It's a whole-org ownership role for someone who has personally led large, distributed engineering organizations as a manager-of-managers and driven engineering strategy, standards, and modernization at scale.
What You'll Do
- Lead and grow the software engineering organization (~50+ engineers, scaling) across multiple European sites
- Set engineering strategy, technical standards, and modernization roadmap for the entire platform
- Drive post-acquisition integration: technical due diligence, onboarding, and integration of acquired engineering teams
- Lead platform harmonization and modernization of legacy applications across a multi-brand group
- Partner with product, commercial, and enterprise stakeholders to deliver on business objectives
- Build a high-trust, high-velocity engineering culture across geographies
What We're Looking For
Required:
- Current or recent Head / Director of Software Engineering, VP Engineering, or equivalent at an enterprise B2B SaaS company
- Proven leadership of distributed engineering teams across geographies - manager-of-managers scope, ~40-120+ engineers
- Broad modern-stack understanding across backend, frontend, and mobile
- Strong enterprise-stakeholder communication skills
- Fluent English (C1+)
- Based in or near Krakow, Poland, or clearly relocatable
Strongly valued:
- Experience with M&A integration: technical due diligence and onboarding of acquired engineering teams
- Platform harmonization / modernization of legacy applications
- Multi-brand or post-acquisition platform consolidation
- PropTech, CAFM, property, industrial, or ERP domain knowledge
- Experience owning the whole engineering org at a mid-market/scale-up SaaS company
Why Join
- High-impact role at a well-funded, profitable, scaling SaaS business with a clear growth trajectory
- Own engineering for the entire platform - not a slice of a 10k-person mega-corp
- Work on real technical challenges: multi-entity platform consolidation, M&A integration, modernization at scale
- Enterprise-grade clients with complex, meaningful use cases
- Hybrid setup in Krakow with a strong, growing team across Europe
