Description:

About the Role

This role is for a high-impact engineering leader who has been in the trenches at fast-scaling startups — someone who has grown from individual contributor to leader and helped scale engineering organizations through multiple phases of growth. Ideally, you've done it more than once.

As VP of Software Engineering, you'll be responsible for building and maintaining a high-performing, scalable engineering organization across Product Development, Ops, and Technical Support. This is a role for someone who's hands-on enough to spot an issue in a pull request, and strategic enough to influence long-term roadmap, product vision, and cross-functional priorities.

You'll partner closely with the Sr. Director of Product and the SVP of Design to ship great software faster, with fewer surprises. You'll also work directly with customers and support our GTM motion, stepping in when technical insight is needed on strategic deals or customer challenges.
