Head of Engineering

About Duna

At Duna, we treat our team and culture with the same care and intention as the product we’re building. We want this to be the place where our people do their best, most fulfilling work.

We’re reimagining regulatory technology by building a scalable, modular platform that automates complex compliance workflows - reducing operational overhead and turning onboarding into an intuitive, reliable system.

As we move into our next phase of growth, we’re looking for a Head of Engineering to help shape how we build - enabling our already brilliant team and preserving our core values as we scale.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Head of Engineering who brings deep experience in leading exceptional people and who has a strong belief in engineering as a team effort - someone who leads by enabling others, not by being the centre of every decision. This is a unique opportunity to help shape the operating model and playbook for growth, whilst acting as a guardian of culture. You’ll help Duna preserve what makes it special as it grows: clear communication, deep focus, and intellectual integrity. You’ll optimise for sustainable growth, not speed for speed’s sake.

What You’ll Do

• Enable, don’t command – Support teams with the structure and space to thrive, not control
• Guide culture – Foster a transparent, reflective, and low-ego environment
• Coach and mentor – Invest in people, provide clarity, and support growth
• Soundboard & advise – Be technically credible without centralising decisions
• Navigate calmly – Support the team through challenges, without firefighting

Who You Are

• A builder at heart who thrives in ambiguity
• Curious and thoughtful, with a few niche passions
• Low ego, team-first, and outcome-driven
• Experienced enough to understand the need for reflection – to guide direction and drive progress
• Technically fluent and a strong sparring partner - able to challenge and support, without needing to have the final say

What You Bring

• Strong coaching instincts and team development experience
• Exceptional communication & ‘culture add’ > ’culture fit’ mentality
• Proven ability to scale systems and teams intentionally - particularly across remote-first environments
• Ambition, urgency, and a high bar for quality

Why Duna

• Build with purpose: Help shape a product solving complex, high-impact problems in a space ripe for reinvention
• Lead with autonomy: High trust, real ownership - enabling extremely brilliant minds & preserving an already impressive culture
• Grow through collaboration: Partner closely with thoughtful peers across product, design, and engineering
• Scale with intention: Guide and shepherd a remote-first team committed to inclusivity, transparency, and psychological safety
  

At Duna, we look to hire passionate people from a variety of backgrounds. We value potential, growth, and diverse perspectives. If you’re excited about the role, a builder at heart, and want to build magical products with exceptional people, we would love to hear from you.
