Squad Leader

Description

At UVeye, we are redefining vehicle safety and reliability on a global scale. Founded in 2016, we pioneered the world’s first fully automated suite of vehicle inspection systems powered by advanced AI, GenAI, and computer vision. Backed by close to $400M in funding and strategic partnerships with industry giants like Amazon, General Motors, Volvo, and CarMax, our global team of 200+ innovators is building a safer automotive world.

We are looking for a Squad Leader to join our engineering leadership team, reporting directly to the VP Engineering.

You will own & manage a multi-disciplinary squad spanning AIgo, full-stack, AIOps, QA, and data – accountable for delivery, people, and business outcomes. You will work closely with a Principal Product Manager who sets direction, and directly manage a Product Owner embedded in your squad.

A Day in the Life and How You’ll Make an Impact:

• Drive your squad’s lifecycle—from planning and prioritization to risk mitigation—ensuring commitments are met and quality remains non-negotiable.
• Direct-line manage all engineers and an embedded Product Owner. Conduct meaningful 1:1s, support career growth, and foster a high-accountability team culture.
• Connect engineering decisions directly to UVeye’s commercial goals. Always anchor “what we build” to “why it matters to the customer.”
• Partner with Principal Architects and senior engineers to offer technical guidance, evaluate trade-offs, and spot architectural risks early.
• Actively participate in high-level engineering leadership discussions regarding product roadmaps, global resourcing, and organizational strategy.

Requirements

• 7+ years of engineering experience, at least 4 of them in a managerial role, including managing other managers.
• Proven track record leading multi-disciplinary teams in a fast-moving, product-led environment.
• Strong foundations across distributed systems, data pipelines, APIs, and production software.
• B.Sc. in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or equivalent.

Who You Are

• A true people leader – you have managed engineers directly and care deeply about their growth.
• Multi-disciplinary by nature – credible across disciplines without needing to be an expert in all.
• Technically curious – you follow the craft, earn engineer respect, and stay sharp.
• Business-grounded – you connect engineering decisions to customer outcomes, not just technical elegance.
• A clear communicator – you distill complexity into direction for your team and credible updates for leadership.

Why UVeye

• Operate at the intersection of AI, real-world systems, and large-scale enterprise deployments.
• Be part of the engineering leadership team – with real influence over how and what we build.
• Your work ships to production and reaches real customers, at scale, every day.
• Shape how engineering works at UVeye – not just what ships next quarter.
• Competitive compensation and room to grow as the company scales.
