🦾 Head of Engineering at Partiful · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

We’re looking for a Head of Engineering to build and lead a high-performing engineering org that can ship ambitious product outcomes with speed and quality as we scale.
You’ll own the health, output, and growth of the engineering team - making sure the right people are in the right roles, the management layer is strong, and recruiting, culture, and execution all reinforce each other. You set the pace by example - willing to dive into the work, do what it takes during critical moments, and hold the bar high for yourself and the team. This is not a “headcount first” role - you should be obsessed with motivating and getting maximum leverage out of a small team, using AI as a force-multiplier and preparing engineers for a world where the work of software engineering is fundamentally shifting.
Build and lead a high-performing engineering organization that can ship ambitious product and infra work with speed and quality
Partner closely with the CTO on technical strategy, architecture, and roadmap prioritization; balance short-term product goals with long-term scalability and reliability
Partner closely with the CEO & CTO to communicate company vision and strategy, ensuring the entire engineering team is highly motivated to achieve ambitious goals
Own engineering execution and deadlines: ensure every project has clear goals, scope, owner, and deadlines - and that they’re consistently hit
Introduce lightweight, effective systems for ownership, accountability, and visibility (planning, status, reviews) without weighing the team down in process
Systematically identify bottlenecks and friction in team workflows - from planning and handoffs to QA and releases - and simplify or redesign processes so engineers spend more time on deep work and shipping
Assess and develop existing leads; build a strong middle-management layer (EMs / Leads / Staff ICs) that can scale us from 15 to 30+ engineers
Define, roll out, and maintain a clear career ladder and performance framework for engineers and managers
Build a culture where high performers are energized - people feel real ownership, are recognized and rewarded for impact, and are motivated to do the best work of their careers
Hold a high bar for performance - celebrate wins and exceptional outcomes, and ensure underperformance is identified early and addressed directly (whether via coaching, role changes, or exits)
