[Hiring] Vice President of Engineering @Vantage

Role Description

As Vantage's engineering organization grows, we're adding a second VP of Engineering to help lead it. Reporting to our CTO, you'll lead a group of engineering teams through their managers and own how those teams plan, build, and ship. You'll work alongside our other VP of Engineering and our Senior Director of Engineering to run engineering as one leadership group.

You'll own delivery, quality, and reliability for your area, build and develop the managers who lead it, and work with Product and Design leadership to turn company goals into a roadmap your teams can execute. You'll also help set engineering-wide standards for how we hire, plan, and release software.

This role suits a leader who has run a multi-team organization through managers, stays close enough to the architecture to make sound technical calls, and communicates clearly with executives and engineers alike. You've managed engineering managers and can explain technical concepts in plain terms to colleagues across the business and to external clients.
