VP of Engineering

Barcelona

At Amenitiz, we’re on a mission to simplify hospitality management, whether it's in the bustling streets of Paris or the serene Uyuni Salt Flats of Bolivia.

Empowering over 14,000 hoteliers worldwide, we’re more than just another SaaS scale-up—we’re revolutionizing one of the world’s oldest industries. With over $50 million raised from top-tier VCs who back disruptive giants like Alibaba, Toast, Zendesk, Delivery Hero, Revolut, and Loom, we've been recognized as a TravelTech Titan and one of Wired's hottest start-ups.

Our team, nearly 320 strong, based in beautiful Barcelona. At Amenitiz, we cultivate a culture of positivity and personal growth. Our team members are enthusiastic, thrive on ownership, and excel in collaboration. Every day, we lead by example, prioritizing client satisfaction and executing with excellence. We are committed to making a positive impact wherever we go.

📍 Location: Barcelona (Hybrid/Remote)

About the Role

We’re now looking for a strategic and impact oriented VP of Engineering to scale our technology and teams, drive technical strategy, and build products that redefine hospitality tech.

Over the past seven years, we've scaled rapidly—growing our customer base, integrations, and engineering team. However, our monolithic platform has also grown in complexity, and we need a structured approach to modernizing it to fully realize our vision of empowering independent hoteliers.

With our close to 40 developers, we are on a journey to transition to a more modular, API-first architecture—ensuring scalability, flexibility, and long-term innovation.

What You’ll Own

  • Engineering Strategy & Leadership – Define and execute the engineering vision, aligning with business and product goals. Own technical OKRs and ensure teams are delivering high-impact initiatives 🚀.
  • Scalable Architecture & Technical Excellence – Oversee system reliability, security, and long-term scalability while managing technical debt effectively.
  • People & Team Development – Hire, mentor, and grow a high-performing engineering team. Define career paths, structure teams for efficiency, and foster a strong engineering culture.
  • Process & Execution – Ensure best-in-class development practices (Developer Experience, Platform Teams, CI/CD, DevOps). Partner with Product to drive seamless execution and delivery.
  • Cross-Functional & Stakeholder Management – Align engineering with Product, Data, and Business teams, represent technology at extended leadership level, and communicate technical vision.
  • Budget & Tooling Strategy – Oversee an OPEX budget of >€2M and manage a stack of 50+ engineering tools, ensuring efficient resource allocation and cost optimization.

What We’re Looking For

  • Battle-Tested Leader – You’ve been here before—5+ years leading engineering teams at VP level in a high-growth SaaS company. You know what it takes to scale and do this.
  • Technical Excellence – Deep expertise in scalable architecture, system design, and modern cloud technologies. You make the right technical calls for long-term success.
  • People-First Mentality – A builder of teams and culture, you hire, mentor, and structure engineering teams for high performance and growth.
  • Customer-Driven – You understand that great engineering is about solving real customer problems. You work cross-functionally to ensure technology drives business value.
  • Execution Focused– A track record of delivering high-impact products at speed and scale. You remove blockers and keep teams focused on outcomes.
  • Strategic & Deeply Involved – You zoom out to define the vision and dive in when needed to guide execution. You know when to lead and when to empower.
  • Clear & Influential Communicator – You translate complex technical concepts into clear business impact, aligning stakeholders, and teams on the engineering roadmap.

Why join Amenitiz?

  • 🚀 High-impact role: Build and scale an engineering org in a fast-growing startup.
  • 🌍 Ownership & Autonomy: Drive key technical decisions and shape our engineering culture.
  • 💡 Build for the Future: Work on complex scalability challenges and high-growth SaaS solutions.
