Head of Engineering

**YOUR MISSION**:
Parloa is building the leading Customer-Center-as-a-Service solution, but we like to use more purpose-led wording: Parloa wants to make people's lives easier, whether they are customers or customer service. We are pushing technological limits so that every customer interaction can be as easy as talking to a friend. That is a task that brings smiles to the faces of our users, but also makes our brains spin fast. That was a fun challenge ever since we started 6 years ago, but has become amazingly interesting with the rise of AI capabilities in the last few years.

We have grown our business, we have grown our team, and now we are looking for a Head of Product Solutions to join us on this once-in-a-lifetime journey to lead our efforts across our products.

You will continue to build our products. Customer centricity is at your heart and you have a strong product mindset.

**WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE**:

- Understanding of product methodologies and experience in building customer facing products
- Ability to dive deep into technical topics and solve problems with senior engineers, engineering managers, product managers, and senior stakeholders

**WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?**:

- Be part of a dynamic, driven team of +20 nationalities with flat hierarchies and collaborative company culture.
