Head of Engineering
About the team
Bioma - probiotic supplements designed to support gut health, energy levels, and focus by replenishing good gut bacteria.
We are looking for a Head of Engineering to lead engineering end to end in Bioma. You’ll be the person who connects the technical side with the business, working side by side with the Bioma leadership team to decide what gets built, how it gets built, and who builds it. This role is for a leader who still enjoys getting close to the code and architecture, but whose main impact comes from building strong teams, clear processes, and reliable systems that scale with the business.
Get ready to
Own engineering for Bioma: set the technical direction, manage delivery, and stay accountable for quality, reliability, and speed
Build and scale high-converting web funnels, checkout and subscription flows, with fast experimentation (A/B testing) and reliable tracking
Lead a team of engineers, including front-end, back-end and QA engineers, plus freelancers and outsourced partners where needed (expected team size ~10 people)
Plan team structure and capacity: define roles, hire, onboard, and decide when to build in-house versus bring in external help
Shape and execute the technical roadmap
Make and guide key architectural decisions, run design reviews, and step into code reviews when it matters
Build engineering processes that hold up as the team grows, from planning and delivery to incident management and on-call
Own system reliability and observability, making sure long-term fixes win over quick patches
Drive AI adoption and automation both in how the team works and the results
Mentor leads and engineers, and build a culture of ownership, learning, and high standards
Represent engineering in leadership discussions and work with other engineering leaders across Kiloverse to share practices and reusable solutions
We expect you to
Have a strong engineering background with hands-on experience building scalable customer-facing production systems, ideally with PHP, Laravel, Node.js, and Next.js
Have 3+ years of experience leading engineering teams (1-10+ people), including hiring and growing the team
Have knowledge of system design, cloud infrastructure, and distributed systems, and be able to make sound architectural trade-offs
Know how to turn business goals into a technical roadmap and turn that roadmap into reliable delivery
Have experience working with freelancers or outsourced teams alongside in-house engineers
Understand product development deeply and be comfortable evolving an existing product while it’s live and growing
Communicate clearly with stakeholders, both technical and non-technical
Care about quality engineering practices: testing, CI/CD, monitoring, incident handling, observability, ideally with Datadog
Be hands-on enough to earn trust from and work with engineers, and strategic enough to know when to step back
Bring energy, a “can-do” attitude, and the drive to experiment and innovate
Experience in DTC/e-commerce, payments, paid media platform pixels and snowplow, etc. would be an advantage
Salary
Gross salary range is 7000-9000 EUR/month.
