VP Engineering

About H:

H exists to push the boundaries of superintelligence with agentic AI. By automating complex, multi-step tasks typically performed by humans, AI agents will help unlock full human potential.

H is hiring the world’s best AI talent, seeking those who are dedicated as much to building safely and responsibly as to advancing disruptive agentic capabilities. We promote a mindset of openness, learning, and collaboration, where everyone has something to contribute.

Context

H Company is building a new class of agentic AI systems—autonomous software capable of executing complex workflows across tools and environments.

Following a landmark European seed round and early enterprise traction, the company is entering a pivotal phase: scaling from breakthrough technology and early deployments to a robust, global AI platform business.

To support this transition, H Company is hiring a VP Engineering to join the executive leadership team and co-drive the company’s evolution from startup to category-defining scale-up.

Mission:

The VP Engineering will be responsible for:

  • Defining and executing a scalable, defensible technology strategy

  • Building a world-class engineering organization and platform

  • Partnering with the CEO on product direction, investor communication, and long-term vision

  • Ensuring H Company successfully bridges frontier AI research and enterprise-grade deployment

This role is central to converting early technical advantage into sustained product leadership and commercial scale.

Core Responsibilities

1. Platform & Technology Strategy

  • Architect and scale H’s AI platform (agents, orchestration, model integration, infra)

  • Make critical build vs. buy decisions across the stack

  • Ensure performance, reliability, and cost efficiency at scale

  • Establish durable technical moats in a rapidly evolving AI landscape

2. From Innovation to Productization

  • Translate cutting-edge AI capabilities into repeatable, enterprise-ready products

  • Standardize systems that are currently bespoke or forward-deployed

  • Balance speed of iteration with platform robustness and maintainability

3. Organizational Scale

  • Build and lead a high-caliber engineering organization

  • Scale from a startup structure to multi-layered, high-output teams

  • Implement processes that enable speed without sacrificing quality

4. Executive & Investor Interface

  • Act as a key counterpart to the CEO in board and investor discussions

  • Clearly articulate H Company’s technology and product roadmap

  • Provide credibility and depth in technical due diligence and fundraising contexts

5. Cross-Functional Leadership

  • Operate at the intersection of Research, Product, and Go-to-Market

  • Align engineering execution with customer outcomes and revenue growth

  • Help define the company’s long-term product and platform positioning

Profile

Leadership & Scale

  • Experience as CTO / VP Engineering (or equivalent) in a high-growth, venture-backed environment

  • Proven ability to scale teams and systems through rapid growth phases

Technical Credibility

  • Deep expertise in distributed systems, AI/ML infrastructure, or developer platforms

  • Ability to engage with frontier research while driving production excellence

Strategic Orientation

  • Strong product intuition and ability to shape platform strategy

  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity and fast-moving technical landscapes

Investor Readiness

  • Experience engaging with investors, boards, and senior stakeholders

  • Ability to communicate complex technical topics with clarity and authority

Opportunity

This is a rare opportunity to:

  • Shape the technical foundation of a potential category leader in agentic AI

  • Partner directly with the CEO on company-building and strategic decisions

  • Play a defining role in scaling a European AI company to global relevance

Location:

  • Paris or London.

  • Please expect some travel between offices on a reasonable cadence (e.g., every 4-6 weeks).

What We Offer:

  • Join the exciting journey of shaping the future of AI, and be part of the early days of one of the hottest AI startups.

  • Collaborate with a fun, dynamic, and multicultural team, working alongside world-class AI talent in a highly collaborative environment.
