Overview
Direct message the job poster from Safelite Does this position interest you?
You should apply – even if you don’t match every single requirement! We're known as an auto glass company. That's the focus of what we do. But beyond the glass, we're so much more. We'll help you build a fulfilling career and encourage you to have a life. Let us be the best place you'll ever work. Are you ready to architect the future of technology at Safelite? Safelite is seeking a visionary Vice President of Digital Technology to lead the transformation of our enterprise application ecosystem. This is a rare opportunity to build and scale a world-class technology culture that drives innovation, growth, and long-term success.
If you’ve ever spent a weekend refactoring your home automation scripts ‘just for fun’—we want to talk. What You’ll Do
Set the Vision: Define and execute a bold application development strategy aligned with enterprise goals and digital transformation initiatives. You’ll be the architect of our technology roadmap, leading the charge to sunset legacy systems and build the future. Lead & Inspire: Build, mentor, and empower high-performing teams across Digital, Architecture, Salesforce, and Integrations. Foster a culture of continuous learning, technical curiosity, and innovation. Modernize & Transform: Champion modernization efforts including cloud migration (AWS preferred, but GCP/Azure valued), microservices architecture, and DevOps practices. Deliver Excellence: Ensure timely, high-quality delivery of solutions that elevate business operations and customer experiences. Collaborate with business leaders, product owners, and technology partners to prioritize initiatives and deliver measurable value. Build for Scale: Own the full technology stack—from programming languages to cloud platforms, enterprise architecture, and SaaS product leadership. Manage both custom-built and third-party applications, ensuring security, compliance, and architectural standards. Enable the Organization: Attract, retain, and develop top engineering talent. Optimize work processes and build effective teams that thrive on results, accountability, and customer focus. Your System Profile
Technical Depth: 10+ years of progressive experience in software/application development, with at least 5 years in senior leadership. You grew up in application development—not just project management or infrastructure. We’re looking for someone who gets excited about open source releases and has strong opinions about which programming language is best (and isn’t afraid to debate it at lunch). Transformation Experience: Proven track record of leading large-scale modernization and transformation initiatives. You’ve retooled tech stacks (e.g., C# to Java/Go), migrated to cloud, and built products—not just maintained them. We want someone who can sunset legacy systems—and maybe has a few legacy side projects of their own. Ecosystem Mastery: Deep expertise in agile methodologies, CI/CD, cloud-native development, and enterprise architecture. Hands-on experience with AWS, Salesforce, and open source technologies. Leadership & Influence: Strong communication and stakeholder management skills. You develop talent, drive results, and build credibility through optimism, humility, and curiosity. Strategic Mindset: Ability to set vision, manage complexity, and deliver results in a fast-paced, customer-driven environment. Success Profile
