Building the AI-first frontier enterprise.

We are a global technology consultancy with a trademarked, AI-first approach-Gen-e2™. It redefines how enterprises build digital products and transform their organizations with AI. We do the right thing, and we do it right. We’re proud to be a World Economic Forum New Champion, and a B Corp-certified company.

- We are becoming an agentic organization, adopting the AI-native operating model we bring to our clients

- We are robust and resilient (100% independent, 0 debt, founded 2009)

- We are AI-native professionals who invest in what we believe and work as a collective intelligence

- We are positive, courageous and deliver at the leading edge

задачи

As Head of Engineering at PALO IT Labs, reporting directly to the CTO, you are the operational engine of our engineering organisation. You translate strategy into daily execution, lead our AI engineering community, and ensure every team-client-facing or product-side-delivers at the highest standard.

Where the CTO sets direction and makes structural architectural decisions, you make those decisions real. You own the day-to-day: team health, engineering standards, roadmap execution, and the development of our AI engineers. You are the technical authority your teams rely on to unblock, challenge and grow-while the CTO focuses on vision, key clients, and long-term positioning.

Engineering Excellence

Deploy the Gen-e²™ technology roadmap defined by the CTO: architecture governance, AI governance, and factory standards (agents, prompts, rules, pipelines) across all squads

Own the token economics of our delivery, balancing model cost, latency and quality across squads, so “AI-first” means production-grade, not prototype-grade

Operate one level above Lead Engineers: arbitrate divergences, challenge local decisions, spot systemic debt and keep the bar rising as execution becomes increasingly agentic

Deploy on our most complex client engagements as the senior technical authority: design AI-first architectures and see them through to production-you ship, not slide decks

Step in as Tech Lead on client projects when needed: if a mission requires it, you can take the technical lead role directly, ensuring continuity and quality without waiting for a resource to be available

Define and enforce engineering standards: CI/CD practices, code reviews, incident management, and security posture across squads

Own technical incidents and escalations with clear ownership and post-mortems

People & Community

Directly manage Forward Deployed Engineers (FDE) and later AI tech leads and - their growth, performance, workload and career paths are yours

Own the engineering community’s rituals end to end: critiques, showcases, community days, learning circles and the shared knowledge base that keeps them visible, inclusive and connected to real delivery challenges

Foster cross-project collaboration by connecting engineers facing similar challenges, surfacing reusable patterns, and turning field learnings into shared standards

Set the community’s norms and health signals: champion psychological safety, experimentation, wellbeing and sustainable pace, and run lightweight pulse checks to catch issues early

Build the mentorship engine: create structures and learning pathways for Senior Engineers and Forward Deployed Engineers, and grow the technical leadership bench

Operate the hiring process for engineering roles: sourcing strategy, interviews, technical assessments and recommendations to the CTO

Partner with delivery and staffing teams to maintain visibility of capacity and utilisation, support staffing decisions, and turn bench time into meaningful learning, R&D or community contribution

Gen-e2 Practice & R&D

Feed everything back into Gen-e²: what you learn on live engagements becomes standards, artefacts, prompts and learning paths for the whole firm, in collaboration with international teams

Produce and own engineering KPIs: velocity, quality, incident rate, technical debt, and team health; report regularly to the CTO

Represent the engineering practice in leadership forums and working groups, communicate regularly on team health and needs, escalate risks promptly, and uphold PALO IT values, confidentiality, information security and professional standards

Contribute to pre-sales through technical scoping, estimation, proposal input and executive-level advisory, ensuring commercial promises remain grounded in production-grade engineering reality

требования

You bring 12+ years of software engineering experience, including significant leadership of an engineering organisation or practice (VP Engineering, Head of Engineering, Head of Tech, or CTO of a scale-up)

You have delivered production-grade AI-first systems, LLM integration, RAG pipelines, agent orchestration-and you think in token economics (cost, latency, quality tradeoffs) as naturally as you think in code. You master AI coding assistants as a force multiplier: you still code, by choice

You have led delivery in complex, client-facing environments (consulting, embedded squads, platform modernisation) with real users, real constraints and real accountability

You are a proven people developer and manager, with a track record of scaling engineering practices-not just individuals-through mentorship, community-building and hands-on AI adoption

You think in systems and write things down: architecture decisions under uncertainty, ADRs, standards that make quality reproducible

You are fluent at every altitude, from engineering stand-ups to leadership forums, and you switch between them in the same afternoon

You lead with care and exigence: high expectations held with accountability in a psychologically safe environment

You know how to read team signals early: engagement, workload imbalance, burnout risk, retention risk and under-utilisation, and you act with care, clarity and accountability

You care about Tech for Good: sustainability, accessibility and responsible AI are embedded in how you build

You are comfortable partnering with HR on hiring strategy, interviews, portfolio reviews, offer decisions and talent-pipeline building through community engagement and events

Bilingual French/English, English is mandatory for client and international collaboration

Nice to have: cloud architecture certifications (AWS SA, GCP/Azure Professional), public speaking or publications on AI-first delivery
