Head of Engineering

Head of Engineering

The Role:
Doccla is a successful med tech, building products for a growing customer base. We are looking for someone to help us steer that growth and make Doccla the leading Hospital at Home in Europe and beyond.
You will be heading up engineering in partnership with the CTO and in close collaboration with the Head of Product, helping us build a high performing engineering organisation, delivering outcomes that make a difference to care, and helping us lead the market in virtual ward provision.
You’ll be a strong people leader, a voice of calm and reason, amplifying others and raising the bar on what good looks like.
You’ll be driving engineering culture and practices, and will help us improve our regulatory, compliance and security load. You’ll be an active part in the growth of Doccla into new areas and new markets.
You will support the teams in realising and delivering against a tech strategy and roadmap, working with stakeholders across the business and product partners to ensure that we are building the best products possible for our patients and clients.

You’ll be:
● Providing strong leadership to our engineering teams and engineering managers through effective 1:1s, coaching, mentoring, feedback and growth conversations to mature and grow the engineering function
● A technologist at heart, and although you may not be writing code day to day, you will have a passion for the art, and will be keen to improve and hone software delivery
● Guiding teams to ensure we are incrementally delivering value to our users and business, perfect being the enemy of good.
● Foster exceptional relationships with internal stakeholders, who will be critical for alignment
● Helping the organisation grow strong engineering teams through effective hiring
● Helping us track and understand how we are doing in engineering, and providing good visibility of the work of the teams
● Communicating strongly, both internally and externally, to help maximise context for all around our roadmap and how we’re getting there
● Helping the team improve releasing and release management, with a strong eye on the heavily compliant led medical device space.
● Collaborating broadly, with a ‘working in the open’ approach, and fostering the same across your team
● Be prepared to be ‘hands on’ with engineering - we are a small and growing company, and we value those who will lean in and help solve the problems as much as those who help us build a sustainable future.

We’re looking for someone who:
● Is passionate about working in our health tech space - you may not have direct experience, but you will roll your sleeves up and grow that knowledge rapidly.
● Has experience of balancing effective engineering delivery and practices within a B2B organisation within a high growth company that leans on sales as drivers for growth.
● Has excellent interpersonal skills/EQ, you are a low ego learner and sharer.
● Is a proven expert in software engineering, architecture, delivery, and leadership
● Has a bias towards action and a desire for mission-driven work

Don’t worry if you don’t have all of these, we value diverse skill sets, and recognise that no one candidate will match all of these - we’d love to hear from you if this role seems like an interesting opportunity for you.
