What You Will Do

to help achieve Fever’s mission.

Own the engineering strategy, roadmap delivery, quality bar, reliability, and architectural evolution of Fever’s Marketplace domain. Partner with Product, Design, Data, Commercial, and Operations leaders to improve the full funnel from discovery through booking and post-purchase engagement. Raise the bar on traffic resilience and operational excellence, including readiness for peaks, launches, on-sales, incident response, observability, and capacity planning.

Improve the marketplace’s underlying systems for search and discoverability, pricing and conversion, checkout and payments, post-purchase servicing, and experimentation. Balance short-term growth initiatives with long-term platform health, simplifying architecture where helpful and investing where the next bottleneck will emerge. Establish clear operating mechanisms: quarterly planning, technical review, dependency management, staffing plans, engineering metrics, and post-incident learning.

Help shape company-wide engineering standards in platform quality, release management, data-informed decision-making, and AI-enabled engineering productivity.

We are hiring a Head of Engineering, Marketplace to lead the engineering strategy, delivery, scalability, and operating model of the platform that powers the core purchase funnel of our business. This leader will own the engineering organisation across Experience, Checkout, Discoverability, and Post Purchase, ensuring Fever’s marketplace remains fast, reliable, conversion-optimised, and resilient during the highest-traffic moments in our business.
