About the Role

The Company is seeking a Vice President of Engineering to lead its engineering organization through a phase of significant growth and expansion. The successful candidate will be a key executive responsible for scaling execution, building world-class teams, and operationalizing engineering to support product, platform, and enterprise goals. This role demands a strong operator and people leader with a proven track record in high-growth SaaS environments, particularly in scaling product and platform engineering organizations. The VP of Engineering will be instrumental in translating company strategy into scalable engineering plans, driving technical decision-making that supports AI and data initiatives, and balancing short-term delivery with long-term investments. Strategic leadership, organizational design, and people leadership are all critical aspects of the position, as is the ability to foster a culture of innovation, ownership, and inclusion.

Candidates for the VP of Engineering role at the company should have at least 10 years of engineering leadership experience, with a focus on both 0→1 and scaling phases of product development. The role requires a leader who can manage and mentor engineering leaders, build diverse and empowered teams, and uphold a culture of high performance. Strong communication and collaboration skills are essential, as the VP will be expected to work closely with cross-functional and executive teams. The ideal candidate will have a high level of technical fluency, particularly in the areas of platform and AI, and be adept at supporting rapid product iteration while maintaining quality and learning velocity. The role also involves contributing to executive strategy, budgeting, planning, and headcount forecasting, and serving as a credible partner to enterprise customers.
