Job Role: Head of Engineering – DeepTech AI – Series A
Job Description
Looking for a pathway into a CTO role?
Techmunity are hiring a Head of Software Engineering for a fast-growing deeptech AI company that raised a £8m Series A earlier this year and is already trusted by global brands including Red Bull, L’Oréal, and Coca-Cola.
Their computer vision platform is used daily by field teams worldwide to replace manual stock checks with highly accurate, automated insights – delivering 99%+ accuracy and fuelling rapid commercial growth.
Revenue has surged several hundred percent in the last two years, and they’re now building the technical foundation for a future Series B raise and international expansion.
The role
This is a career-defining opportunity for an experienced engineering leader from the AI/ML world who wants to step into a future CTO position.
You’ll inherit two capable teams:
- Computer Vision (4 people) – including a team lead who joined as an intern and grown into leadership.
- Product Engineering (4 people) – delivering mobile and web apps, with strong individual contributors already in place.
Your job is to bring strategy, structure, and leadership, not hands-on coding.
As Head of Engineering, you will:
- Define and drive the engineering roadmap, balancing immediate delivery with long-term scalability
- Lead end-to-end AI project delivery, from prototype through production and deployment
- Scale existing teams (CV, ML, apps, infra) and build new ones (QA, DevOps, Solutions Architecture) as needed
- Mentor senior engineers and team leads, instilling high standards of quality, reliability, and performance
- Work closely with the founders to shape product strategy, fill skill gaps, and prepare the company for Series B
What they’re looking for
- 10+ years in software engineering / AI / ML, with 3+ years in a leadership role
- Proven experience scaling teams in a Series A/B startup environment
- Strong background across cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure), web & mobile app delivery, and data pipelines
- A leader who can influence at board level, combining strategic vision with operational delivery
Package & Perks
- Salary circa £150,000 + equity options
- Hybrid working – 1–2 days/week in London office (can be flexible on this)
- 25 days’ holiday + bank holidays
- Private medical, dental, optical & travel insurance
- Visa sponsorship available
