Lead the Future of AI-Driven Consumer Insights

At Neurons, we're revolutionizing how businesses predict consumer behavior with cutting-edge AI. As our Head of Engineering, you won't just lead - you'll build, innovate, and scale. This is your chance to shape the future, working closely with our CPO to define the technical vision, optimize our stack, and solve complex challenges - all while staying hands-on with the code.

Forget legacy chaos. Here, you'll have the freedom to create - architecting scalable solutions, driving innovation, and leading a talented team through hyper-growth. You'll be at the heart of AI, neuroscience, and behavioural science, powering insights for 450+ global brands like TikTok, UBS, Pandora, Nintendo, and L'Oréal.

With 100% year-over-year growth, we're not just building a company - we're changing the game. If you're ready to make an impact and lead the charge in AI-powered insights, let's talk!


Your key responsibilities:

Technical Strategy & Leadership (40%)

  • Own and drive the technical roadmap, ensuring scalability, performance, and reliability.

  • Lead and monitor a high-performing engineering team (currently 7 engineers).

  • Define and align technical strategy with product goals in collaboration with the CPO.

  • Optimize and simplify systems to handle high growth and scalability.

  • Foster cross-functional collaboration across engineering, AI, product, and client-facing teams.

Hands-on Engineering & Development (30%)

  • Stay hands-on (~30-40% coding) to unblock the team and lead by example.

  • Drive technical excellence through design reviews, high-quality code, and best practices.

  • Ensure reliability and scalability with strong testing strategies and automation.

  • Maintain clear technical documentation (RFCs, ADRs) to support decision-making.

Cloud Infrastructure & Security (15%)

  • Oversee Google Cloud infrastructure, ensuring security, scalability, and performance.

  • Lead and implement the company's security roadmap, continuously improving protocols.

  • Play a key role in the Information Security Committee, shaping security policies and compliance.

Data-Driven Decision-Making (15%)

  • Establish and monitor system KPIs, providing actionable insights for performance optimization.

  • Support product development with technical discoveries and strategic recommendations.

  • Ensure compliance in collaboration with legal and security teams for smooth operations.


What we're looking for:

  • Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (advanced degrees are a plus).

  • 8-10+ years in technical roles, including 5+ years in engineering leadership (Head/Director level).

  • Proven track record in scaling tech teams within AI, SaaS, or data-driven B2B companies.

  • Strong technical strategy execution, balancing long-term vision with short-term goals.

  • Proficiency in our tech stack - Python, Django, FastAPI, React, TypeScript, and GCP (expertise in front-end or back-end is a plus).

  • Hands on leader: strong architectural expertise with the ability to code and mentor teams.

  • Experience with DevOps, cloud-native infrastructure, and modern software practices.

  • Passion for simplifying complex systems into scalable, modular components.

  • Excellent communication and leadership skills, fostering innovation and collaboration.

  • Product mindset - able to align engineering decisions with customer impact.

  • SaaS scaling experience - designing for high-volume, high-growth environments.

  • AI Knowledge is a plus, but not mandatory.
