About the Role

As VP of Engineering, you will be responsible for building, scaling, and operating a high-performing software engineering organization capable of reliably delivering Neural Concept’s ambitious product and technology roadmap.

You will turn product vision into software reality, while ensuring our teams and culture scale sustainably — in quality, velocity, and people development.

What you will do

Own engineering execution and delivery

  • Ensure predictable, high-quality delivery across product and platform initiatives
  • Translate product and technical strategy into realistic plans, milestones, and commitments
  • Identify risks early and manage trade-offs transparently

Structure the engineering organization

  • Evolve team structures, ownership boundaries, and collaboration models as we scale
  • Build and coach engineering managers and tech leads
  • Continuously adapt the organization to match company growth

Build strong and modern engineering processes

  • Establish lightweight, effective development processes that scale without bureaucracy
  • Leverage the best of AI technologies to amplify our impact while maintaining small, agile teams
  • Define and track the right engineering metrics

Guarantee technical quality, reliability, and security in practice

  • Partner with the CTO to uphold architectural principles and long-term technical health
  • Drive pragmatic approaches to technical debt, qulity testing, and operational excellence
  • Collaborate with GTM and deployment teams to guarantee smooth, secure deployments across diverse customer scaling scenarios

Collaborate closely with leadership and customers

  • Work together with Product, Research, Deployment, and Leadership
  • Represent engineering in cross-functional and customer-facing discussions
  • Act as a key partner to the CTO, providing clear signals on execution, risk, and org health

Who you are

You are a senior engineering leader who combines strong technical judgment with operational excellence and a deep understanding of how organizations scale. You are product-minded, pragmatic, think in systems and understand how outcomes derive from how people work together.

Proven experience leading software engineering organizations at scale

  • Experience scaling teams, at least x2 and 50+ engineers
  • Experience managing managers and tech leads
  • A track record of managing delivery in fast-growing, low-process environments

Strong technical credibility

  • Broad understanding of modern software architecture, infrastructure, and security
  • Deep understanding about modern AI technology for software engineering
  • Ability to engage deeply with engineers on design, trade-offs, and reliability
  • Comfort operating in AI- and data-intensive product environments

Product mindset and pragmatism

  • Ability to balance speed, quality, and long-term sustainability
  • User-first and product minded
  • Calm decision-making under pressure
  • Outcomes-focused, and not perfectionist

A people-first leadership mindset

  • High empathy and strong communication skills
  • Commitment to growing others and building healthy teams

Drive and ownership

  • Willingness to take responsibility and make hard calls
  • Track record of inspiring others and building confidence in high-uncertainty environments

What You Get

  • Work with a world-class technology team – our engineers are top-notch, and we always aim for excellence.
  • Benefit from a competitive salary and rewarding opportunities as we continue to scale.
  • Thrive in a collaborative, multicultural environment where your work is visible and recognized.
  • Develop professionally alongside talented colleagues who share knowledge freely and support one another.
  • Make a global impact by helping customers shift to AI-assisted design, making innovation faster, smarter, and more sustainable.
  • Balance life and work with a hybrid model and flexible hours—we care about results, not rigid schedules.
