VP Engineering (m/f/d)

Tasks

The role

As VP Engineering, you will build and lead the engineering organisation behind our AI platform. Your mandate is clear: turn product requirements and validated AI concepts into reliable, scalable and maintainable software. You will own engineering delivery, architecture, technical quality and engineering culture while remaining hands-on where it matters.

What you'll do

• Build and lead the engineering organisation.
• Own engineering delivery from architecture through production.
• Turn product requirements into pragmatic technical designs and execution plans.
• Raise the bar for quality, reliability, security and engineering excellence.
• Stay hands-on through architecture, critical implementation and technical leadership.

Requirements

What you'll bring

• Experience building and leading engineering teams in a fast-moving product company.
• A track record of taking products from prototype to production while scaling engineering teams, processes and technical foundations from early-stage through growth.
• Strong engineering judgement across modern Python-based backend systems, cloud infrastructure, distributed systems and AI-enabled products.
• Experience building and operating LLM or agentic systems in production, including evaluation, guardrails and failure handling.
• You use modern AI coding tools as a core part of your engineering workflow and can effectively review and quality-control AI-generated code.
• Evidence of making fast, high-quality decisions under ambiguity, including deciding what not to build.
• Experience in healthcare, clinical workflows, FHIR, regulated or safety-critical software, or enterprise software deployments is a strong advantage, but not required.
• Excellent written and spoken English. German is a plus, but not required.
