We're looking for a seasoned Engineering Leader to help scale and evolve the Loris engineering organization — a fast-growing AI SaaS company now part of Contentsquare You'll lead a multidisciplinary team (backend, frontend, QA, and DevOps) and shape how we deliver software at scale. Beyond delivery, your impact will come from building leaders, structuring the organization, and driving engineering excellence that balances startup agility with mature execution This is a role for someone who enjoys zooming in to solve complex technical and operational challenges - and zooming out to design how multiple teams work together, collaborate, and grow

Engineering leadership capacity expands - by developing current engineers into leads and, where needed, hiring strong leaders externally. Recruiting and onboarding are smooth, scalable, and consistent. Delivery is predictable, focused, and transparent. Product and Engineering are tightly aligned on goals, priorities, and success metrics. AI-assisted development becomes a natural part of the workflow, increasing speed and quality without losing craft.
