Head of Engineering

DOSS is building an Operations Cloud for the real world. We deliver a modern, AI-native platform that helps physical product businesses manage the flow of goods, dollars, and data across procurement, inventory, orders, fulfillment, and finance in real time. Purpose-built to replace spreadsheet chaos and rigid, consultant-heavy ERP implementations, DOSS delivers fast time-to-value and stays adaptable as a business evolves. Through our Adaptive Resource Platform (ARP) and unified operational data model, teams can deploy quickly, automate workflows, and make changes without months of re-implementation. We recently raised a $55M Series B co-led by Madrona and Premji Invest, with participation from Intuit Ventures, Theory Ventures, General Catalyst, Contrary Capital, and Pathlight VC. DOSS is trusted by fast-growing operators to run critical operations with speed, control, and confidence.

Doss is entering a critical scale-up phase. What began as a tightly-knit, founder-led engineering effort now needs a senior engineering leader to formalize execution, raise the technical bar, and build systems that support long-term growth.

As Head of Engineering, you'll own the end-to-end engineering function and serve as the senior-most engineering leader responsible for both near-term execution and long-term technical direction. You'll report directly to our Co-founder & CTO and work in close partnership with him to shape the org, culture, and systems that define Doss as we scale.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a high-ownership role at a company with strong product-market fit, exceptional technical DNA, and serious momentum.
