Remote-first with 1-2 days per month in office.","Login\n\nRegister\nUser\n\nDashboard Client Portal Signout\n\nVice President of Engineering\n\nVice President of Engineering\n\nContract Type:\n\nFull Time\n\nLocation:\n\nContact Name:\n\nRyan Delaney\n\nContact Email:\n\nryan.delaney@thryvetalent.com\n\nPublished\n\n26-May-2026\n\nFull Description\n\nVP of Engineering — Cologne (Hybrid) B2B SaaS · €20M+ funded · Mostly remote · 1–2 days\u002Fmonth in office\n\nThe role\nWe're a well-funded B2B startup on a mission — and we're looking for a VP of Engineering who still loves the craft. Not a career politician. Not a slide-deck leader. Someone who gets genuinely excited by great technology and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves.\nAs VP of Engineering, you'll own the entire engineering function — leading multiple teams across product, platform, and infrastructure. You'll report directly to the founders and play a defining role in how we build, hire, and scale. This is a seat at the table, with the autonomy to make real decisions.\n\nBut here's what makes this role different: we don't want someone who's fully moved on from the tech. We want a leader who's close enough to the code to command respect, catch problems early, and keep the bar high — even as the team grows.\n\nOn flexibility: We're a remote-first team. You'll be based near Cologne and expected in the office once or twice a month — the rest is yours to manage. We care about output and ownership, not face time.\n\nWhat you'll do\n\n- Lead and grow a team of 15+ engineers across multiple squads, with clear scope to scale\n\n- Set engineering direction — architecture, technical standards, tooling, and process\n\n- Partner with Product and Design to ship things that actually matter to customers\n\n- Recruit, retain, and develop exceptional engineering talent\n\n- Stay hands-on enough to review critical decisions, unblock teams, and occasionally dive into the code\n\n- Own the engineering roadmap and ensure consistent, high-quality delivery\n\n- Build a culture where engineers do their best work\n\nWho you are\n\n- You've led engineering teams before — ideally at a B2B startup or scale-up — and you know what good looks like\n\n- You're technically credible. You may not be writing production code daily, but you can hold a deep architectural debate, spot a bad abstraction, and earn the respect of strong engineers\n\n- You get genuinely excited about technology — new tools, emerging patterns, better ways to build\n\n- You're a natural people leader who also gets things done. You hire well, give honest feedback, and develop engineers into great ones\n\n- You thrive in ambiguity and move with urgency. Startup pace suits you\n\n- You communicate clearly — with engineers, founders, and customers alike\n\n- You don't delegate your way out of hard problems. You're willing to get your hands dirty\n\nNice to have\n\n- Experience in B2B SaaS — you understand the product dynamics and customer expectations\n\n- You've scaled a team through a growth phase before, ideally Series A to B and beyond\n\n- Familiarity with modern cloud-native infrastructure and development practices\n\nA note on culture\nWe're past the scrappy phase but still very much a startup. You'll have real influence here — over how we build, how we hire, and how engineering fits into the broader company story. We want someone who sees that as exciting, not daunting.\n\nSimilar Jobs\n\nAPPLY NOW\n\nInterested in this job?\nSave Job\n\nShare this job\n\nCreate a job alert and be notified of similar roles via email\n\nCreate As Alert\n\nSCHEMA MARKUP ( This text will only show on the editor. )\n\nTHRYVE helps companies across Germany and the DACH region scale high-performing tech teams across AI, cloud, cyber security, software engineering, and digital transformation.
