Head of Product and Technology

Kognity AB

Education is one of the most important systems in the world. At Kognity, we build the technology that makes it work better, for the teachers delivering it and the students depending on it. The problems are real, the work is challenging, and the results show up in classrooms every day. We're a 125-person EdTech scale-up powering learning in 120+ countries, helping students and teachers thrive through an intelligent platform that combines rich, interactive pedagogy with smart AI and data. Why join Kognity? Work on problems that matter - Your work directly influences the lives of teachers and students in over 100 countries. The scale is global, and the outcomes are tangible. High ownership, high expectations - You are trusted to take initiative, make decisions and drive outcomes. Responsibility comes early, accountability is real, and results matter. A fast-moving, high-performing team - You will work with smart, driven colleagues across the globe on complex problems. Standards and expectations are high, feedback is direct, and the pace is fast. Continuous growth is the baseline - Everyone is expected and supported to learn quickly, improve constantly and raise their own bar. If you enjoy responsibility, momentum and meaningful challenge, you will thrive here. What you'll do: Take full ownership of the engineering operating system within your first three months: tools, vendor contracts, on-call staffing, and platform support, so no escalations land on the CTO by default and engineers never lose time to broken tooling or unclear process. Audit and overhaul the hiring process end to end, improving interviewer calibration, role consistency, and onboarding so that time-to-hire and time-to-first-meaningful-contribution both come down measurably. Own TLT facilitation and drive EM layer consistency, with sessions that end in decisions, shared practices aligned across teams, and cross-EM escalations resolving below CTO level within six months. Build and maintain the engineering progression framework and performance data infrastructure, from a sharp draft in the first three months to a live, Tech 2.0-aligned framework with salary bands agreed with HR and EMs actively using it in performance conversations. Drive cultural and strategic change from decision to operating reality, particularly the Tech 2.0 rollout, owning the rollout plan, adoption tracking, and the rituals that make change stick across the org over an 18-month horizon. What we're looking for: A background as a senior, principal, or staff engineer, with subsequent experience in engineering leadership or management, ideally including people management in a scaling product organisation. Proven ability to operate without formal authority, driving change through credibility and relationships rather than positional power, and comfortable influencing senior engineers and EMs alike. Strong systems thinking with a bias for simplification: able to look at a complex set of processes and find the version that removes friction without losing what matters. High signal-to-noise communication, both written and verbal, with the ability to translate between strategic direction and operational reality and surface the right information at the right level. A passion for AI and a drive to experiment with new tools to enhance creativity, decisions, and execution.

We aren’t just investors, we are a Fintech Venture Builder and the ultimate launchpad for entrepreneurship. Our Mission We provide the capital, the technology, and the talent so that founders can stop fighting red tape and start building. Our name represents the fundamental building blocks of finance: with the numbers 0 through 9, the possibilities are infinite. We take ventures from idea to impact, from what is, to what’s next. The Journey With hubs across Europe, we are building the financial infrastructure of the future. We are just getting started, and we’re looking for the right people to help us define it. The Role As our Head of Data, you are the central nervous system of the 0to9 ecosystem.

Your main focus will be to: Take full responsibility for the data operations and infrastructure across all portfolio companies within the 0to9 group. Design and implement a scalable, unified data architecture (warehousing, ETL/ELT) that serves both current and future ventures.

Ensure high data quality, security, and compliance across the group, making sure we are "investor-ready" at all times. Standardize how we use data so that a success in one venture can be analyzed and replicated in the next. We need a leader who can balance high-level strategy with deep technical execution. You are someone who enjoys the complexity of looking after multiple moving parts at once. We believe you have: Experience managing data operations for multiple products or business units simultaneously. Expertise in SQL, Python, and the modern data stack (e.g., Snowflake, dbt, Fivetran, or similar). The ability to explain complex data concepts to non-technical founders and stakeholders across the group. You hate doing the same thing twice. You build frameworks and systems that allow our ventures to scale without reinventing the wheel. What we offer You get to build the data department exactly how you think it should be built. Your work will directly influence the success of multiple high-growth companies. We move fast. If you have a great idea on Monday, it could be live by Wednesday.

Vision and Mission For decades, the line between technology and entertainment has blurred, but in the world of live gaming, true innovation has often remained on the surface. Avanti exists to change that by merging advanced game development with real-time live streaming. We aren't just building games; we are creating a new category of interactive experiences where technical complexity meets human presence. Our goal is to challenge the industry's status quo by using the power of Unreal Engine 5 and MetaHuman technology to deliver a level of quality previously thought impossible in web-based environments. We believe in a future where digital environments are as responsive and believable as the physical world, and where every technical decision is aimed at deepening user engagement. To ensure our future growth and maintain the highest level of delivery as our portfolio expands, we are now looking for a Product Designer who wants to bridge the gap between product logic and market communication. The Opportunity As a Product Designer at Avanti, you step into a role that is fundamental to our scalability. You will have the unique opportunity to work across the entire spectrum of the product—from deep UI/UX logic within our games to the visual narrative we present to the market. This is a position designed for growth; you will start by working closely with our Head of Product Design to understand our DNA, eventually taking ownership of modularizing our workflows to future-proof our production. You will be part of a team that values technical fearlessness and creative disruption. Your work will directly impact how users interact with complex game elements, ensuring that every interaction—from a chat emoji to a high-stakes betting interface—is as intuitive for the player as it is for the system.

Collaborate with technical teams to integrate interactive product features, such as in-game communication tools and emojis. Act as a "Brand Guardian" to ensure visual consistency across all product and marketing touchpoints. Maintain rigorous digital asset management and documentation to ensure organizational efficiency and easy access for all departments. Who We Are Looking For We are looking for a proactive and someone who finds joy in creating order out of chaos, whether that means establishing strict naming conventions in Figma or organizing complex asset structures in the cloud. You don't wait to be asked for the next step; you are already identifying trends and suggesting improvements as they become a necessity. Your mindset is rooted in self-organization and a deep care for the craft. You collaborate tightly across teams and understand their needs, and see how their work and yours effect eachother. As Avanti evolves quickly, you are motivated by the fact that your input directly shapes the outcome of the product and the efficiency of the entire creative department. Qualifications.
