Help shape how cities are designed
We're looking for a Head of Engineering to lead engineering in the Forma Design Tools Product Area. Reporting to the Director of Engineering, you'll own engineering operations and team effectiveness across the squads that build the connected, outcome-driven foundations powering every Forma product.
As Head of Engineering for Forma Design Tools, you'll be accountable for ensuring teams deliver against ambitious commitments, operate efficiently, and keep a stable, reliable platform in the hands of both end users and the product teams building on top of it. You'll partner with Product, Design, and the Software Architect to turn strategy into shipped outcomes — without losing alignment or quality as we scale. This is a player-coach role: leadership with real technical engagement. You're not far from the code, and you're not far from the team.
Your work will enable architects, planners, and developers to discover smarter, more sustainable solutions and gain meaningful insights into their projects — and will enable the teams building Forma's design applications to move faster by composing capabilities rather than rebuilding them.
