Job description
The Vice President of Engineering will lead the company's engineering organization, responsible for building scalable, reliable, and high-quality technology platforms that power business growth. This role operates as the "Build" leader within a Build / Operate / Govern model, with full accountability for engineering delivery, architecture execution, and service ownership.
Operating Model
Follow a "You Build It, You Run It" approach, where engineering teams are accountable not only for delivering software, but also for the reliability, performance, and lifecycle of the systems they build. The VP of Engineering is responsible for designing and enforcing this model across the organization.
What Success Looks Like
Engineering teams deliver predictable, high-quality outcomes aligned to business priorities
Services are owned end-to-end by engineering teams, with clear accountability for reliability and performance
Strong partnership across:
Operate (IT Ops) - service management and operational excellence
Govern (CISO) - security, risk, and compliance
Modern engineering practices drive measurable improvements in cycle time, deployment frequency, and defect rates, platform and architecture decisions scale with the business over multiple years
Define and lead the engineering strategy and operating model, aligned to Build / Operate / Govern principles
Own the end-to-end software delivery lifecycle, including development, testing, release, and L3/L4 support
Establish and enforce architecture standards and technical governance, serving as the authority for solution design and technology direction
Build and lead a product- and platform-aligned engineering organization, including application, platform, data, and DevOps teams
Design and scale modern engineering systems, including:
CI/CD and release pipelines
Test automation and quality engineering
Observability and reliability practices
Developer experience and productivity tooling
Embed "You Build It, You Run It" accountability, ensuring engineering teams own system reliability, performance, and operability
Partner with Head of IT Operations to:
Ensure production readiness and service continuity
Align on incident management, change management, and SLAs
Partner with the CISO organization to:
Align delivery with risk, compliance, and audit requirements
Translate business and product demand into sequenced, executable roadmaps
Technical Knowledge and Understanding
Deep experience leading organizations operating under a "You Build It, You Run It" or similar service ownership model, with clear accountability for reliability and performance
Strong background in modern software engineering practices, including:
CI/CD and automated release pipelines
Test automation and quality engineering
Infrastructure as code and cloud-native architectures
Observability (monitoring, logging, tracing) and reliability engineering
Proven ability to design and scale engineering systems, not just teams, including:
Delivery lifecycle (build -> test -> release -> operate)
Developer experience and productivity tooling
Platform engineering and shared services models
Demonstrated expertise in enterprise architecture and technical governance, including:
Defining and enforcing architecture standards
Leading architecture review and decision processes
Driving consistency across distributed engineering teams
Experience partnering effectively with IT Operations and Security functions within a shared accountability model, including:
Aligning on incident management, SLAs, and operational readiness
Experience building and scaling with cloud-based platforms (Azure preferred)
Experience
Experience leading large, multi-layered engineering organizations
Proven success implementing product-based and platform-based operating models
Deep experience in DevOps, CI/CD, and modern engineering practices
Strong architecture background with experience owning technical direction at scale
Experience operating in shared accountability models (e.g., engineering + operations + security)
Ability to drive both organizational design and execution performance
Bachelor's degree in related field or demonstrated equivalent experience in a related field required.
Nice to Have
