Our Mission
At Omnea, we’re reinventing how enterprise businesses operate, starting with the most painful parts: procurement – where a single purchase can drag on for months, trigger 50+ emails , and pull in Finance, Legal, Security, and IT just to get something approved.
We’ve raised $75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, and Accel to change that. Our AI-native platform connects every person, step, and system so buying is fast, safe, and efficient – one place to request, automated approvals and renewals, real-time supplier risk, and complete spend visibility.
The opportunity is massive. Every enterprise on the planet has this problem and nobody has solved it . We’ve 10x’d ARR to double-digit millions in 18 months and are trusted by global enterprises like Spotify, MongoDB, Monzo, and Albertsons. We’re now the 4th fastest growing startup in Europe & the Sunday Times' #1 Best Medium Sized Tech Company To Work for.
Our team previously scaled Tessian ( cybersecurity tech, backed by Sequoia, Balderton, Accel , acquired post-Series C), and our team includes ex-founders operators who’ve grown unicorns, shipped world-class products, and executed at the highest levels. You’ll work alongside leaders like Ben , Abs , Sabrina , and Rebe .

What we're looking for
We're looking for an ambitious and talented Director of Engineering to join Omnea, the UK's #1 Startup in 2026 , as a senior member of our Engineering leadership team. You'll report directly to our CTO, Dhruv Kumar , who joined us from Voy and has scaled engineering organizations at Hopin, Charlotte Tilbury, and THG.
This is a manager-of-managers role. You'll lead a group of Engineering Managers and Team Leads: 25-50 engineers across several teams. You'll own the outcomes, org design, and technical direction of a significant slice of the product.
As we grow from tens to hundreds of enterprise customers and through 10x revenue growth in the next 2-3 years, you'll play a crucial role in building the best Engineering function in its category. You'll operate with high autonomy, partnering with the CTO, Product leadership, and your peers across R&D to turn strategy into shipped software.
What you’ll do
Build and lead the leaders:
• Hire, coach, and develop Engineering Managers and Team Leads. Your primary output is their effectiveness, not your own.
• Set and hold a high performance bar across the group, including the harder calls on performance and leveling.
• Own org design for your area: how teams are shaped, sized, and split as the product and company grow.
• Build the bench: identify and grow the next generation of engineering leaders at Omnea.
• Own the headcount plan for your group, from business case through to hiring.
Own delivery at group scale:
• Be accountable for the outcomes of several teams at once, not the output of any one of them.
• Create the operating rhythm (planning, prioritization, and reporting) that keeps a multi-team group moving quickly and predictably.
• Unblock at the seams: the cross-team dependencies, ambiguous ownership, and architectural decisions that no single team can resolve.
• Ensure robust monitoring, observability, and incident response across your area.
Shape technical and product strategy:
• Partner with the CTO and Product leadership to define and execute the technical roadmap for your domain.
• Make the build/buy, architecture, and technical investment calls that shape the platform for years, and bring the rest of R&D with you.
• Balance technical debt, feature development, and reliability, and be able to defend those trade-offs to the exec team.
• Ensure customer feedback drives technical priorities, including direct time with enterprise customers.
Teams and products you might end up working on:
• Accounting and Goods Receipting – ensuring procurement and finance teams have the right information and tools to operate accurately, automatically, and at scale.
• Insights and Reporting – deep, complex custom visualizations bringing together AI and data to surface meaningful insights and context across the platform.
• Sourcing – building the tools that find the right suppliers, shape the right deals, and make sure the best option is already in play before a request is even created.
• Workflow Orchestration – the configurable backbone of our systems that accurately model company operations, underpinning a single source of truth.
• And many more areas we’re actively starting or expanding upon!
About You
Leadership Experience:
• You have 10+ years of software engineering experience, with 5+ years in engineering leadership.
• You have 2+ years managing managers, having hired, coached, and where necessary, performance-managed Engineering Managers or Team Leads.
• You've led a group of 25-50 engineers across multiple teams and owned the org design for it.
• You've demonstrated success in fast-moving, ambiguous environments, particularly in rapid-growth periods.
• Ideally, you've done this at more than one company, including at least one successful Series A+ B2B SaaS company.
Technical Excellence:
• Strong technical background with hands-on experience in modern web technologies.
• Deep understanding of distributed systems, cloud architecture (preferably AWS), and scalability challenges.
• Experience with our stack (TypeScript, React, AWS Serverless) is a plus, but not required.
Track Record of Impact:
• Strong track record of delivering complex, multi-team programs that moved company outcomes: product adoption, revenue, and customer retention.
• Proven history of improving team velocity and quality at the group level, not just within a single team.
• Experience scaling an engineering organization through a period of rapid growth and adapting the structure as it grew.…
