Job details:
This hiring is for leading provider of comprehensive research and analytics services.
What you will own
- Product engineering, end-to-end. Architecture, stack, build-vs-buy, AI infrastructure, data model, security, reliability. Full decision authority.
- The engineering organization. Inherit a services-delivery team and reshape it for product. Hire senior product/SaaS talent. Define the operating model, rituals, and performance bar.
- Technology strategy. Partner directly with the CEO to set the product roadmap, sequencing, and GTM-readiness milestones.
- Delivery to revenue. Ship the first paying SaaS contract within the first year. Then build the repeatable cadence to scale.
- AI-native build velocity. Establish the tooling, evaluation, and engineering practices that let a small team out-ship larger incumbents.
You are a fit if you have
- 12+ years building and shipping production B2B SaaS — multi-tenant architecture, modern cloud, API-first design, security and compliance baked in.
- Direct experience leading engineering organizations of 25+ people. You have hired, fired, restructured, and rebuilt.
- Hands-on AI/ML product experience — LLM applications, retrieval, evaluation, agentic systems. You ship with this stack today, not just talk about it.
- A track record of operating with constraint. You ship with the team and runway you have, not the one you wish you had.
- Executive partnership instincts. You can sit with a CEO, translate strategy into roadmap, and translate engineering reality back into business decisions.
Bonus profile
- Prior CTO or VP Engineering at a B2B SaaS company in research, analytics, data, or insights.
- Lived experience inside a services-to-product transition.
- Domain background in market research, consumer insights, or qualitative/quantitative methodologies.
What you should not expect
- A greenfield. You will inherit a real organization with real history, talent, and constraints.
- A frozen spec. The roadmap will move with what we learn from design partners and the market.
- Mature process. We move fast. Process gets refined in motion, not before motion.
