Your Role


As Head of Engineering at PALO IT Labs, reporting directly to the CTO, you are the operational engine of our engineering organisation. You translate strategy into daily execution, lead our AI engineering community, and ensure every team-client-facing or product-side-delivers at the highest standard.


Where the CTO sets direction and makes structural architectural decisions, you make those decisions real. You own the day-to-day: team health, engineering standards, roadmap execution, and the development of our AI engineers. You are the technical authority your teams rely on to unblock, challenge and grow-while the CTO focuses on vision, key clients, and long-term positioning.


Deploy the Gen-e2 technology roadmap defined by the CTO: architecture governance, AI governance, and factory standards (agents, prompts, rules, pipelines) across all squads


Own the token economics of our delivery, balancing model cost, latency and quality across squads, so AI-first means production-grade, not prototype-grade


Operate one level above Lead Engineers: arbitrate divergences, challenge local decisions, spot systemic debt and keep the bar rising as execution becomes increasingly agentic


Deploy on our most complex client engagements as the senior technical authority: design AI-first architectures and see them through to production-you ship, not slide decks


Step in as Tech Lead on client projects when needed: if a mission requires it, you can take the technical lead role xuezdbg directly, ensuring continuity and quality without waiting for a resource to be available


Define and enforce engineering standards: CI/CD practices, code reviews, incident management, and security posture across squads


Own technical incidents and escalations with clear ownership and post-mortems


People & Community


Directly manage Forward Deployed Engineers (FDE) and later AI tech leads and - their growth, performance, workload and career paths are yours


Own the engineering community’s rituals end to end: critiques, showcases, community days, learning circles and the shared knowledge base that keeps them visible, inclusive and connected to real delivery challenges


Foster cross-project collaboration by connecting engineers facing
