About the role
Our Mission At Omnea, we’re reinventing how enterprise businesses operate, starting with the most painful parts: procurement – where a single purchase can drag on for months, trigger 50+ emails , and pull in Finance, Legal, Security, and IT just to get something approved. We’ve raised $75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, and Accel to change that. Our AI-native platform connects every person, step, and system so buying is fast, safe, and efficient – one place to request, automated approvals and renewals, real-time supplier risk, and complete spend visibility. It's a $7B+ untapped market , and our traction reflects the scale of the opportunity: we’ve 10x’d ARR to double-digit millions in 18 months and are trusted by global enterprises like Spotify, MongoDB, Monzo, and Albertsons. We’re now the 4th fastest growing startup in Europe. Our team previously scaled Tessian ( cybersecurity tech, backed by Sequoia, Balderton, Accel , acquired post-Series C), and our team includes ex-founders operators who’ve grown unicorns, shipped world-class products, and executed at the highest levels. You’ll work alongside leaders like Ben , Abs , Sabrina , and Rebe . Find out more about the team and life at Omnea here .

About You You’re a senior, high-performing technical professional who thrives in ownership-heavy environments and enjoys being an early, foundational hire. You’re comfortable operating with ambiguity, making sound technical judgments, and representing the company with senior customer stakeholders. You have 6–10+ years of experience in a high-performance environment, with a strong track record in customer-facing engineering, technical support engineering, or similar roles working with complex SaaS products. You’ve consistently operated at a senior level — owning critical customer issues, leading complex initiatives, mentoring others, and acting as a trusted technical authority. You have a strong technical foundation You have strong systems intuition and experience working with complex software platforms, integrations, workflows, or APIs. You’re comfortable diving deep into unfamiliar systems, reasoning about architecture, and guiding others through technical problem-solving.

Excellent communication You communicate clearly and confidently with both technical and non-technical audiences. You’re comfortable working with senior customer stakeholders and internal leaders, and you can influence outcomes through clear thinking, strong written communication, and sound judgment.
