## Job description

Head of Engineering - Seed-stage startup

## About our client

Our client is building the operating system for global logistics — turning fragmented operational and document-based data into a single source of truth powered by data and AI. This is a complex, real-world B2B domain where systems must be reliable, scalable, and deeply integrated with external partners. As the company grows, engineering quality, velocity, and ownership will define the next chapter.

## The role

We are looking for a Head of Engineering to lead, scale, and elevate the engineering organisation while staying deeply connected to the product, the business, and real customer problems. This is not a process-only role. This is a builder–leader role.

You’ll own engineering end-to-end — people, systems, quality, and delivery — and lead by context, clarity, and example.

## What you’ll do

- Own delivery across Backend, Frontend, Data, and Infrastructure
- Ensure teams ship reliable, scalable systems used for critical logistics operations
- Balance speed and quality in a high-stakes, real-world environment
- Set technical direction and guide architecture decisions across distributed, integrations-heavy systems
- Build and scale a high-performing team with strong ownership and accountability
- Partner closely with Product, Data/AI, Partnerships, and Leadership

## What we’re looking for

- 8+ years of software engineering experience
- Experience leading engineering teams in startups or fast-growing product companies
- Background in complex, real-world domains (B2B, logistics, fintech, platforms, data-heavy systems)
- Strong experience with backend-heavy systems
- Experience running production systems on AWS
- Comfortable reviewing architecture and code, even if not coding daily

Tech stack context (experience leading teams in a stack like this):

- Backend: Kotlin, Python
- Data: PostgreSQL, MongoDB / NoSQL
- Infrastructure: AWS, containers, CI/CD, observability
- Integrations: REST, async pipelines, SFTP
- Data & AI: large-scale ingestion, OCR, LLM-powered workflows in production

## About Breakmark

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Breakmark is a People Architecture firm that partners with fast-growing startups to design scalable HR strategy, global hiring infrastructure, and talent acquisition processes.
- **Entity Type**: Private (bootstrapped, no funding rounds disclosed)
- **Headquarters**: New York, United States (with team presence in Argentina, Spain, and Ecuador)
- **Founded**: 2025
- **Founders**: Angie Udry (Founder & CEO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Human Resources Services, HR Technology & Advisory
- **Target customers**: B2B; early-stage to mid-growth startups and scaleups (primarily in technology, fintech, AI, SaaS, and marketplace sectors)
- **Mission or purpose statement**: To help companies build the people systems they need to scale — from first hire to global expansion.

## Products & Services
- **Fractional CHRO / HR Strategy & Advisory**: Senior-level HR thinking (organizational design, compensation frameworks, culture definition, performance management) delivered on a fractional basis.
- **Employer of Record (EOR)**: Allows startups to hire employees internationally without setting up a legal entity; handles payroll, taxes, benefits, and compliance.
- **Contractor of Record (COR)**: Compliant engagement of independent contractors across any jurisdiction, including contracts, payments, and risk mitigation.
- **Talent Acquisition (RPO & Executive Search)**: Full-cycle recruitment, sourcing strategy, executive headhunting, interview frameworks, and offer management for technical and leadership roles.
- **HR Compliance & Policy**: Labor law audits, policy design, and ongoing regulatory protection across jurisdictions.
- **People Operations**: Day-to-day HR support – onboarding, performance management, employee experience.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private, no reported funding)
- **Key Metric**: Total funding — none public; estimated employee headcount of 4 (per LinkedIn)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Not disclosed; clients are high-growth startups across LatAm, Europe, US, APAC, and MENA
- **Growth Signals**: LinkedIn following of 6,276 (as of mid-2026); monthly employee growth of +25%; active job postings for roles such as Talent Acquisition Consultant, CEO Office Associate, Engineering Manager, and Financial Controller

## Competitive Advantages
- **Startup-Native**: Built specifically for companies that are still figuring things out and moving fast, unlike traditional HR firms serving large enterprises.
- **Senior-Level Expertise**: Clients work directly with experienced HR professionals (no junior consultants) who have built people programs at high-growth companies.
- **Global Reach with Compliance**: EOR and COR services eliminate legal and administrative barriers to hiring globally, with fast setup (days, not weeks) and full misclassification risk protection.
- **People-First Philosophy**: Recommendations grounded in what is genuinely best for the team, not cookie-cutter solutions.
- **Agile & Scalable**: Adapts as fast as the startup pivots or scales headcount, offering flexible engagement models from fractional CHRO to full RPO.

## Strategic Focus
- **Current priorities**: Expanding global EOR/COR capabilities; deepening talent acquisition offerings for technical and leadership roles; building a remote-first team across the Americas and Europe to serve a diverse international clientele.
- **Direction for growth**: Scaling the People Architecture model to become the go-to HR partner for startups moving from first hire to hundreds of employees, with a particular focus on cross-border expansion.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture highlights**: Collaborative, entrepreneurial, and high-performance culture; opportunity to work directly with founders and executive teams of fast-growing startups.
- **Remote/hybrid/office policy**: Fully remote work environment (as stated in job postings for Talent Acquisition Consultant).
- **Notable perks or engineering culture**: Exposure to some of the fastest-growing startups globally; international and diverse client portfolio; significant professional growth and development opportunities; a chance to shape the people foundations of emerging tech companies.
