At Liberatii, we are on a mission to transform the 60 billion dollar SQL database market. We are developing a software layer that allows databases to become truly interchangeable. Many enterprises currently struggle with the high costs and complexity of migrating mission-critical applications to modern, affordable platforms. Our technology solves this by removing the need for expensive rewrites. Having recently completed a successful pilot with a production application, we have proven that our approach works. Now, we are ready to scale and capture this massive opportunity as an early mover in the industry.
The opportunity
We are looking for an exceptional Head of Engineering to join us at this pivotal moment. As an executive leader, you will be instrumental in building and guiding a small, high-velocity team that is creating a truly disruptive product. You will work directly with our CEO, CTO, and early customers to ensure our technical strategy aligns perfectly with our business goals. Your leadership will define how we build, how we innovate, and how we maintain the high standards necessary to succeed in such a demanding space.
A day in the life
- You will lead and mentor a small, fast-moving team of engineers to develop our core product while ensuring we consistently hit ambitious milestones.
- You will collaborate closely with our leadership team and clients to translate complex business needs into robust technical solutions.
- You will establish and refine our engineering practices to foster a culture of excellence, continuous improvement, and high-quality output.
Who you are
You are a seasoned leader who thrives in high-urgency environments. You have a deep technical background, including a strong grasp of database systems design, data structures, algorithms, and low-latency programming. We are looking for someone who has successfully tackled complex software challenges, such as building compilers or mission-critical distributed systems. You possess a keen eye for identifying top-tier engineering talent and have the communication skills to explain intricate technical concepts with clarity. Our current stack relies on Linux, C++, Postgres SQL, TypeScript, Docker, Azure Cloud, and Azure DevOps, so proficiency or experience in these areas is highly valued. You are fluent in English and ready to make a significant impact in the United Kingdom.
Why you'll love it here
At Liberatii, we are committed to creating an environment where innovation and growth flourish. We offer a hybrid work arrangement to provide flexibility while maintaining the collaborative energy of our team. You will be part of a group that is passionate about solving real-world problems and driving meaningful change in the database industry. If you are excited about the prospect of building something revolutionary, we would love to hear from you.
