About the Role

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. This is a high-impact executive role for a technical leader who wants to shape engineering strategy, build high-performing teams, and drive the architecture and delivery of products used by real customers every day.

The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-moving, hybrid environment, is comfortable setting technical vision while still getting into the details when needed, and genuinely enjoys developing engineering managers and senior ICs into stronger leaders.

  • 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 & Perks

  • 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
