Head of Engineering, R&D Center of Excellence (Egypt)

Cairo, Egypt | Remote within Egypt | Full-time, paid in USD | Reports to the co-founder and managing partner of Emergence

Who We Are

Emergence is a private equity firm backed by the Pritzker Organisation that acquires and scales category-defining B2B software companies. We own over 10 software businesses across three verticals today, healthcare, automotive, and infrastructure software, and we are actively adding to the portfolio. We combine operational rigor with patient capital: we buy good companies, then build the shared capabilities that make every company in the portfolio faster, healthier, and more valuable than it could be alone.

Engineering is the next of those shared capabilities. We are building an R&D Center of Excellence, headquartered in Cairo, that will set the engineering bar for the entire portfolio. This role leads it.

The Mission

You will build and lead a team of top-tier engineers, based in Egypt, who are deployed into our portfolio companies to raise the level of engineering wherever they land. They are not an outsourced resource. They are Emergence engineers, par
