H Company is building agentic AI systems—autonomous software capable of executing complex, multi-step workflows across tools and environments. Following a landmark European seed round and early enterprise traction, the company is scaling from breakthrough technology to a robust, global AI platform business.
As VP Engineering, you will join the executive leadership team and co-drive the company's evolution from startup to category-defining scale-up. You are responsible for defining and executing a scalable, defensible technology strategy; building a world-class engineering organization; partnering with the CEO on product direction and long-term vision; and ensuring H successfully bridges frontier AI research with enterprise-grade deployment.
Key responsibilities include: architecting and scaling H's AI platform (agents, orchestration, model integration, infrastructure); making critical build vs. buy decisions; translating cutting-edge AI capabilities into repeatable, enterprise-ready products; standardizing systems currently bespoke or forward-deployed; building and leading a high-caliber engineering organization through rapid growth; acting as a key counterpart to the CEO in board and investor discussions; and operating at the intersection of Research, Product, and Go-to-Market to align engineering execution with customer outcomes and revenue growth.
You should have experience as CTO or VP Engineering in a high-growth, venture-backed environment with proven ability to scale teams and systems. Deep expertise in distributed systems, AI/ML infrastructure, or developer platforms is essential. You need strong product intuition, comfort operating in ambiguity and fast-moving technical landscapes, and experience engaging with investors, boards, and senior stakeholders. This role offers the opportunity to shape the technical foundation of a potential category leader in agentic AI, partner directly with the CEO on company-building, and play a defining role in scaling a European AI company to global relevance.
Location is Paris or London with expected travel between offices every 4-6 weeks.
