Head of Engineering

Alohi SA brings together a team of highly competent engineers who focus on merging state-of-the-art technologies with compelling user experience in order to simplify and enhance life for companies and people around the world. The company provides Sign.Plus (a legally binding electronic signature), Fax.Plus (online faxing), Dial.Plus (AI-voice agent), and Scan.Plus (AI-powered mobile scanner) services to over 4,000,000 customers worldwide.

Headquartered in Geneva and born from an initial seed investment from Fongit (Fondation Genevoise pour l’Innovation Technologique), Alohi has deliberately chosen a bootstrapped and financially independent path. This approach allows us to prioritise our customers, maintain agility, and continuously innovate without outside constraints

We’re looking for a hands-on, pragmatic Head of Engineering to lead our engineering team. You’ll own delivery across multiple products, set up and scale engineering practices, coach talented engineers, and work closely with Product, Marketing, and Leadership to bring great products to life.

You’ll be both a people leader and a technical driver - raising the bar on quality, architecture, and operational excellence, while building the structure that enables the team to move faster. You’ll also play a key role in hiring and scaling the engineering team.

Responsibilities

• Lead and scale a world-class engineering team across backend, frontend, mobile, and AI disciplines.
• Drive technical and security excellence, ensuring products are built for privacy, reliability, and compliance from the ground up.
• Own product delivery across multiple products ensuring we ship on time, securely, and with exceptional reliability.
• Establish and scale engineering best practices - testing, monitoring, documentation, CI / CD, operational reliability, and secure coding standards.
• Implement and champion security-by-design principles across all stages of development and deployment.
• Coach and grow engineers through 1 : 1s, leveling frameworks, and structured career development.
• Partner closely with Product and Marketing to shape roadmaps, align priorities, and communicate clearly across teams.
• Build lightweight processes and structures that bring clarity and accountability without slowing the team down.
• Hire and develop the engineering team over time, building a strong, scalable organization as we grow.
• Contribute to defining Alohi’s engineering and security culture as our team and product portfolio expand.
