Fit4Me is looking for a Head of Engineering / Head of Development to take ownership of our technology direction and become a key partner to Product and Business as we enter the next stage of growth.
Your scope will cover the entire technology side of the product — from architecture and engineering delivery to reliability, infrastructure, and team development. You’ll define how our technology evolves as the product grows.
You’ll work directly with the CEO and Head of Product, shape the technology strategy, grow the Engineering team, and have a direct impact on delivery speed, product stability, and our ability to scale the business.
This role is a great fit if you:
- Are driven by scaling — building technology that can handle growth and help the product move faster.
- Constantly look for ways to improve — from architecture and process optimization to automation, new approaches, and more efficient ways of working.
- See ownership as your default way of working: you make technical decisions independently, set priorities, and take responsibility for Engineering outcomes.
- Are ready for the next level of impact: as the company grows and your scope expands, this role has the potential to evolve into a CTO role.
Your Impact:
1. Technology Strategy & Architecture
- Own the product’s end-to-end technology architecture across web, backend, mobile, infrastructure, and integrations.
- Shape the technology roadmap and make architectural decisions that balance scalability, reliability, speed, and cost.
- Manage technical debt and bottlenecks that impact product stability, development speed, and scalability.
2. Engineering Delivery & Excellence
- Build engineering processes that enable fast, high-quality, and predictable delivery.
- Set and evolve engineering standards across the development lifecycle, code quality, releases, monitoring, and incident management.
- Improve Engineering efficiency through tooling, automation, AI, and continuous process improvement.
3. Product & Business Leadership
- Lead and grow the Engineering team, building clear ownership and accountability across the function.
- Partner directly with the CEO and Head of Product on the roadmap, priorities, and key product and technology decisions.
- Balance business priorities, technical needs, and team capacity, taking ownership of Engineering outcomes.
What we expect from you:
- 5+ years of experience in software engineering, including 1+ year as a Head of Engineering, Head of Development, VP Engineering, CTO, or in a role with a similar scope of responsibility.
- Experience owning end-to-end technology architecture across web, backend, mobile, infrastructure, and integrations.
- Experience leading an Engineering team of 10+ people, including team structure, priorities, performance, development, and hiring.
- Hands-on experience scaling products and Engineering functions, including delivery, reliability, infrastructure, technical debt, and engineering processes.
- Experience with subscription-based products and payment integrations across web and mobile environments.
- Strong ability to make complex technical decisions by balancing speed, quality, scalability, cost, and business impact.
- English B2+ for working with the team, partners, and technical documentation.
Nice to have:
- Experience with web-to-app products and a strong understanding of subscription funnels.
- Experience in Health & Fitness / Wellness or other high-volume subscription verticals.
- Proven experience scaling technology alongside rapid growth in traffic, users, or revenue.
- Experience using AI in software development and engineering processes to improve team speed and efficiency.
What success looks like in this role:
- A clear technology strategy and roadmap are in place, aligned with Product and Business goals and clearly understood by the Engineering team.
- Architecture and infrastructure are ready to scale with product, traffic, and revenue growth, with key technical risks and bottlenecks identified and under control.
- Engineering operates with speed and predictability, with clear priorities, ownership, engineering standards, and consistent delivery.
- The Engineering team is stronger and more autonomous, with clear areas of responsibility, decisions made at the right level, and no dependency on a single person.
- Engineering becomes a true partner to Product and Business, with technical decisions balancing speed, quality, scalability, cost, and business impact.
