Some companies need senior engineering leadership but not a full-time executive. Leo el Rey de Amazon is hiring a Head of Engineering on a part-time, remote basis to guide the technical vision, mentor engineers and keep delivery quality high.
About the Role
You will lead and mentor engineering teams, set development standards and coordinate with product, operations and other stakeholders. You will oversee project planning and execution, prioritise engineering tasks, remove blockers, review technical designs and code, align architecture with business goals and monitor performance and reliability, with attention to security, scalability and maintainability. You will also contribute to long-term technology strategy, resource planning and process improvement.
