Head of Engineering

Development Team

On behalf of our Client from the US, Mobilunity is looking for a Head of Engineering.

We are looking for a Head of Engineering to lead multiple engineering teams while remaining actively involved in technical architecture and strategic engineering decisions. This role is ideal for an experienced engineering leader who enjoys developing high-performing teams, defining technical standards, and driving successful delivery across complex ecommerce platforms.

As a Head of Engineering, you will shape engineering practices across the organization, mentor engineering managers and technical leaders, establish architectural direction, and ensure consistent delivery excellence in a distributed, asynchronous work environment. While the role is primarily leadership-focused, approximately 20–30% of your time will remain hands-on, providing architectural guidance and supporting critical technical initiatives.

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of engineering management experience, including managing engineering managers, technical leads, or software architects.
  • Proven experience leading multiple engineering teams and driving successful delivery across complex software projects.
  • Strong architectural expertise in modern frontend technologies, particularly React, Next.js, and TypeScript.
  • Experience defining engineering standards, architecture guidelines, and scalable development practices.
  • Strong understanding of software architecture, performance optimization, and modern web technologies.
  • Experience working with AI-assisted development tools and establishing team-wide AI engineering practices.
  • Excellent written and verbal English communication skills.
  • Strong leadership, mentoring, stakeholder management, and decision-making skills.
  • Experience working in distributed Agile teams.

Responsibilities:

 

  • Lead multiple engineering teams, ensuring successful project delivery, high engineering standards, and predictable execution.
  • Manage, mentor, and develop engineering managers, technical leads, and architects, building a strong leadership organization.
  • Define frontend architecture patterns, rendering strategies, scalability guidelines, and performance best practices.
  • Drive engineering excellence by improving development workflows, documentation standards, and technical processes.
  • Establish effective AI-assisted development practices, including standards for AI-generated code, specification-driven development, and engineering workflows.
  • Partner with Product Managers and cross-functional stakeholders to prioritize work and balance competing business objectives.
  • Coach engineering leaders on effective communication, technical decision-making, and cross-functional collaboration.
  • Participate in architectural discussions and contribute hands-on to complex technical initiatives when needed.
  • Continuously improve software quality, development efficiency, and engineering culture.

Nice to have:

 

  • Hands-on experience with Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFRA, OCAPI, SCAPI).
  • Experience with Shopify Plus, Hydrogen, BigCommerce, or SCAYLE.
  • Familiarity with composable commerce and MACH architecture.
  • Experience working with headless CMS platforms.
  • Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and cloud deployment practices.
  • Previous experience in e-commerce, retail technology, or digital commerce.

In return, we offer:

  • The friendliest community of like-minded IT-people
  • Open knowledge-sharing environment – exclusive access to a rich pool of colleagues willing to share their endless insights into the widest variety of modern technologies
  • Mobilunity Medical Insurance program designed to meet our teams’ needs
  • Paid vacations and sick leaves, including 5 paid days per year that don’t require a sick note
  • Perfect office location in the city center (900m from Lukyanivska metro station with a green and spacious neighborhood) or remote mode engagement: you can choose a convenient one for you, with a possibility to fit together both
  • No open-spaces setup – separate rooms for every team’s comfort and multiple lounge and gaming zones
  • English classes in 1-to-1 & group modes with elements of gamification
  • Never-ending fun: sports events, tournaments, music band, multiple affinity groups

Come on board, and let’s grow together!
