Job description

We’re an AI-driven technology company building modern software platforms that help organizations turn complex, unstructured data into clear, actionable intelligence. Our products sit at the intersection of data, decision‑making, and thoughtful user experience, and are used by teams that value speed, quality, and real‑world impact.

In just a few years, we’ve built a scalable AI platform used by leading global enterprises (Uber, Disney, Coca‑Cola, etc.). We move fast, stay pragmatic, and focus on delivering real, measurable value rather than hype.

Role Overview

We’re entering a critical growth phase and are looking for a hands‑on VP of Engineering to help professionalize, scale, and evolve our engineering organization. This is a highly technical leadership role for someone who still loves shipping code, solving hard problems, and setting strong engineering foundations.

You’ll report directly to the CTO and play a central role in shaping both the technical direction and the engineering culture of the company.

What You’ll Do

Lead, scale, and mentor a high‑performing engineering team through hiring, coaching, and performance management

Write and ship production code regularly; this is a hands‑on leadership role

Partner closely with Product to define and execute the technical roadmap

Improve engineering processes, workflows, and best practices

Own architectural decisions and ensure long‑term system scalability and quality

Collaborate with executive leadership on technical vision and prioritization

Manage engineering budgets, resourcing, and capacity planning

Drive system reliability, performance, and security across the full stack

Establish strong engineering metrics and report progress and team health to leadership

Foster a culture of accountability, craftsmanship, and continuous improvement

What We’re Looking For

5+ years of professional software development experience

2+ years of engineering management experience

Strong hands‑on experience with Python or TypeScript

Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Passion for software engineering, mentoring, and team development

Nice to Have

Experience with AWS, GCP, or other cloud platforms

Background in startup or high‑growth environments

Open‑source contributions or meaningful side projects

Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage

Generous PTO and paid public holidays

Parental leave

Fully remote work

If you’re excited about building impactful AI products, leading by example, and shaping the future of an engineering organization, we’d love to talk.
