Head of Engineering

We are looking for a highly experienced Head of Engineering to lead, scale, and empower our growing engineering organization.

Optimize Processes

• Design and implement best-in-class engineering practices: task allocation, code review, release management, and QA.

• Improve development velocity, quality, and reliability through automation and process discipline.

• Institutionalize a data-driven, metrics-based approach to engineering performance.

Ensure Delivery

• Own end-to-end execution of the product roadmap from planning to release.

• Partner closely with Product Management to ensure timely, high-quality delivery.

• Manage risks, dependencies, and technical debt proactively.

Develop People & Culture

• Mentor and coach engineering leaders; build a strong succession pipeline.

• Create a collaborative, innovative, and high performance culture.

• Champion continuous learning and technical excellence.

REQUIRED SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, with 5+ years leading large engineering teams (30+ people).

• Proven success in scaling engineering organizations within fast growing product companies.

• Strong expertise in system design, distributed systems, microservices, and cloud platforms (Azure preferred).

• Expertise in agile planning, project management, and SDLC best practices.

• Proficiency in modern development practices CI/CD, DevOps, observability, and agile delivery.

• Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence at the executive level.

• Experience building platform-scale products (e.g., e-commerce, supply chain, data platforms, or martech).

• Strong strategic and technical judgment; capable of balancing long term architecture with short term business priorities.

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience in high growth tech startups or enterprise scale platforms.

• Hands on background with .NET, C#, SQL Server/PostgreSQL, and cloud native technologies (coding not a primary responsibility).

• Previous experience as Head of Engineering or Director of Engineering is a strong advantage.

Unique benefits:

• Social insurance coverage upon signing your employment contract.

• Generous leave policy: 12 annual leave days plus all Vietnamese public holidays.

• 13th-month salary (applicable from the probationary period).

• Company-provided equipment.

• Well-stocked pantry: tea, coffee, snacks, microwave, etc.

• Engaging company activities: Company trips, team-building events, regular internal events (including live music performances!), and access to company-sponsored badminton courts.
