Job Description

About the Opportunity

We're partnering with a high-growth AI technology company to find a VP of Engineering. You'll lead all engineering across product, infrastructure, and developer experience. This is a hands-on leadership role—you'll stay close to code while building and scaling high-performing teams in a fast-moving environment.

What You'll Do

  • Build and mentor an engineering organization from current state to 2-3x scale
  • Own technical strategy and execution across product, platform, and DevOps
  • Drive architectural decisions that prioritize developer velocity and reliability
  • Partner with product and design to deliver customer impact on aggressive timelines
  • Establish engineering culture around ownership, quality, and continuous improvement

What We're Looking For

  • 15+ years of software engineering experience, with 5+ years in engineering leadership at high-growth companies
  • Proven track record scaling teams from 10 to 50+ engineers
  • Deep technical credibility—you should be able to design systems and review critical code
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity; ability to move fast without sacrificing quality
  • Strong communicator who builds cross-functional alignment

Preferred: Experience at a Series B-D startup or scale-up; background in AI/ML infrastructure; familiarity with containerization and cloud-native architectures.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Base salary: $320,000–$380,000 USD
  • Significant equity package
  • Medical, dental, vision coverage
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Learning and professional development budget

Location / Work Model

San Francisco, CA. Hybrid with occasional travel to major tech hubs.
