With over a decade of experience leading engineering teams in high-growth SaaS environments, I have a proven track record of driving technical excellence, fostering ownership, and aligning engineering strategy with business goals. I am particularly drawn to Seobility's mission to make professional-grade SEO accessible and to the challenge of evolving the platform as AI reshapes search. In my previous role, I led a distributed engineering team through a similar transformation to AI-native practices and outcome-oriented delivery, resulting in a 40% increase in release velocity and higher team satisfaction. I thrive on bridging the gap between product and engineering, ensuring that technical investments directly translate into customer value. My hands-on experience with modern stacks like PHP/Laravel and Vue.js, combined with a deep focus on architecture and scalability, positions me to support your technical vision and platform health. I am eager to bring my leadership, strategic thinking, and passion for AI adoption to Seobility, and to help your team continue its impressive growth. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, [Your Name] Copy Sample interview questionsHow would you approach transitioning a functional team (frontend/backend) to end-to-end ownership while maintaining quality and velocity?I would start by defining clear outcome-based missions for each team, ensuring they have the necessary skills and tools. I'd implement a phased transition, beginning with one pilot team to learn and overcome obstacles, then roll out gradually. Regularly reviewing metrics like cycle time and defect rates, while providing coaching and pairing opportunities, helps build confidence and capability. Can you give an example where you used AI to significantly improve engineering productivity? What was the outcome? At a previous SaaS company, I introduced AI-assisted code generation and automated code review tools. We reduced manual review time by 30% and accelerated feature development by 20%. I also championed AI for automated testing, which cut down repetitive tasks and freed engineers to focus on complex problem-solving. How do you balance long-term technical debt reduction with short-term product delivery pressure? I advocate for a 'technical investment' portfolio approach, allocating a percentage of capacity (e.g., 20-30%) to tech debt and infrastructure improvements. I work closely with product leadership to agree on what can be deferred and quantifies the risk of not addressing debt. This way, both strategic and delivery needs are met transparently. Describe your experience with high-traffic, data-heavy platforms. How do you ensure reliability and GDPR compliance at scale? In previous roles, I've architected systems for high availability using auto-scaling, caching, and database optimization. For GDPR, I implemented data minimization, encryption, and regular audits. I also enforce strict access controls and accountability, ensuring compliance is built into the development lifecycle, not an afterthought. How do you mentor and empower a small, senior team to take more ownership, especially when moving to autonomous decision-making? I focus on creating a psychologically safe environment where engineers feel safe to take risks. I set clear goals and boundaries, then trust the team to execute. I encourage 'decision logs' and post-mortems to learn from outcomes. Regular one-on-ones and technical coaching help build confidence and a sense of ownership. This role is part of our [Seobility](https://www.seobility.net/en/) team, one of our growing brands at saas.group. Seobility joined saas.group in 2022. The Seobility all-in-one SEO suite empowers businesses and marketers around the world to boost their website visibility with professional SEO tools. Starting in 2013 with a commitment to usability and actionable advice to make professional-grade SEO accessible, Seobility today has over 700,000 users and earned international awards along the way! Role Overview As the Head of Engineering at Seobility, you lead the technical heart of a mature, high-traffic SEO SaaS product. We’ve just completed a large relaunch of the platform last year — and are digging into the real work now: evolving what an SEO tool does as AI rewrites how people search and what they expect from software. In a rapidly changing market shaped by AI-driven search, you lead our organizational and technical evolution. Reporting directly to the CEO, you will bridge the gap between engineering challenges and business impact. You guide the team through a transformation toward greater autonomy and lead them towards outcome-focussed execution and AI-native engineering. We’re a small, senior team — ambitious and driven, but we genuinely look out for each other. You’ll find real scope to own and room to grow. Your Impact (First 3-6 Months) * Build Trusting Partnerships: Establish deep working relationships with the engineering team and tech leads to foster our culture of psychological safety and high performance. * Enable Distributed Ownership: Support the team in fostering ownership for outcomes. Guide the transition from functional (FE/BE) to end-to-end ownership. * Optimize and Leverage: Partner with the team to identify friction, bottlenecks and AI leverage potential. Implement a value-driven delivery flow with improved predictability and velocity. * Strategic Roadmap: Start executing on a roadmap that balances the strategic transformation of our engineering (e.g. tech debt, AI-native engineering, upskilling) with our product innovation goals. Responsibilities * AI-Native Engineering: Spearhead the adoption of AI-native engineering practice to substantially increase engineering efficiency. * Organizational Transformation: Guide the evolution from functional roles to broader roles and outcome-orientation. You bridge gaps between Product and Engineering and make the two grow closer, reduce dependencies and empower the team to deliver end-to-end value. * Technical Vision: Own and co-create the technical vision & roadmap with your Tech Leads, balancing “tech debt” reduction with feature delivery. * Platform Health: Make sure our data-heavy platform is fast, reliable, and secure as it scales — with data privacy and GDPR handled as a matter of course. * People Development: Mentor and empower an international engineering team to embrace full ownership and foster confidence in autonomous decision-making. * Strategic Collaboration: Act as a high-level sparring partner to the CEO and Product leadership, and partner with the saas.group Central Platform team on DevOps and infrastructure topics. Navigate trade-offs between technical sustainability and delivery speed. What you bring to the table * SaaS Leadership: Proven track record of leading engineering teams in a high-scale production environment, with a focus on efficient team structures and operational excellence. * Technical Credibility: You possess high technical credibility across modern stacks (ideally PHP/Laravel, Vue.js, and cloud infrastructure) and bring a particular strength in architecture and system-design. * AI First: A forward-thinking approach to AI as a core lever for both product features and engineering productivity. * Product-First Mindset: With your strong product-sense, you are a key partner for user value creation and prioritize engineering efforts based on customer value and business impact rather than technical elegance for its own sake. * Change Management: You are skilled at building alignment during transitions, leading teams through change and resistance to a new rhythm and velocity. * Enabler Mentality: You measure your success by what your team (incl. you) ships, not only by what you personally build. * Domain understanding: Domain understanding of SEO-related web technologies (websites, crawling, indexing, content analysis) is a strong plus. * Communication: Fluent English is a must; German is a strong advantage given the brand’s roots. What’s in It for You * Ultimate Flexibility: Fully remote role with optional Nuremberg office; preferred time zone ±2 hours CET. * High Trust & Autonomy: We hire experts and get out of their way. You’ll have the freedom to solve problems your way with minimal bureaucracy. * The saas.group Network: Direct access to a global community of SaaS founders, engineering leaders, and experts to exchange knowledge and scale your own career. * Impact: A seat at the leadership table of a brand with thousands of users where your decisions move the needle every day.
