Head Of Engineering

Pennylane is building the financial OS (Operating System) for European SMEs. A single source of truth for financial data, used on one side by entrepreneurs to run their business (invoicing and getting paid, paying suppliers and expense management, piloting cash and profitability) and on the other side by their accountant for bookkeeping and fiscal declarations. Saving time to all entrepreneurs and accountants, helping them to make the right decisions and enabling 3rd parties to offer added-value personalised financial services. We’ve launched in France and will expand to other markets in Continental Europe in the coming years. Our commercial website is thus in French only but the code is obviously documented in English and our tech team speaks English. We’re product-led, growing fast, backed by strong investors and are starting to hire software engineers anywhere in Europe, to join our experienced remote-first engineering team. 👪 CONTEXT & ROLE We're looking for our next Head of Engineering. This is a senior, hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives at the intersection of people, product, and operational excellence. As Head of Engineering, you will report directly to a co-founder and take ownership of how multiple engineering groups operate, deliver, and grow together. You won't be a remote coordinator. You'll be in the details where it matters: unblocking teams, making trade-offs explicit, raising the bar on engineering practices, and building the org systems that let great engineers do their best work. This role sits between what the market calls a Director of Engineering and a VP Engineering, with a strong operational bias and a high degree of autonomy. 🎯YOUR MISSIONS ORGANISATIONAL LEADERSHIP & PRODUCT PARTNERSHIP - Partner with Head of Product (or General Manager) to align on strategy, roadmap priorities, and make trade-offs explicit and well-understood across the organisation - Define clear collaboration points between Engineering, Product, and Desig
