VP of Engineering – AI Voice Tech (Berlin/Hybrid, European Focus)
Are you ready to take a thriving engineering team to the next stage of scale and innovation in AI-powered voice technology? We are seeking an exceptional VP of Engineering to lead a high-growth team working on advanced Golang and Python backend solutions.
About the Role
- Hands-on technical leadership of a 30-person, multi-squad engineering team, recently scaled for in-house product delivery.
- Five agile squads specialize across backend and AI-centric technologies, especially Golang (voice backend) and Python.
- The VP oversees five direct reports: two team leads, head of engineering, and three senior engineers, driving technical vision and delivery across squads.
- Leadership is paramount: devote 75% of your time to management, organizational alignment, and high-level cross-functional collaboration (product, design, advisory, investor relations).
- Ownership extends from technical decisions to attracting talent, process evolution, and product impact.
What You'll Need
- 8-12 years’ progressive engineering experience including direct management of at least 5+ engineers.
- Track record scaling teams in fast-paced environments—Series A to C preferred.
- Deep hands-on expertise in Golang; comfortable with Python and other modern backend languages.
- Demonstrable experience building real-world AI or voice technology products.
- Strong hybrid/remote management skills, able to motivate, coach, and unify distributed squads.
- Exceptional cross-functional collaboration, stakeholder influence, and strategic vision.
- Proven ability to thrive under ambitious, equity-driven incentives—high commitment required.
- Open-source contributions a major plus.
Location & Flexibility
- Berlin-based position with hybrid work model. Exceptional candidates in the UK or New York may be considered, but European backgrounds are prioritized.
Recruitment Process
- Four rigorous stages: recruiter screen, interviews with CTO and product team, external advisor deep dive, investor/CEO conversation.
- The process is designed to probe for scale-up experience, leadership style, technical range, and entrepreneurial drive.
Who Should Apply
- You’ve built and led engineering teams through hypergrowth, product pivots, and ambitious launches—preferably in AI or voice tech.
- You love ownership and thrive on solving deeply technical challenges with lasting significance.
- You see equity as a motivator and are ready for high reward, high expectation.
- You favour action and effectiveness over work-life balance as your primary driver.
