[Hiring] VP, Software Engineering @Vonage

Role Description

Join Vonage and help us innovate cloud communications for businesses worldwide! This is the engineering leadership role that shapes what Network Powered Solutions (NwPS) becomes - not just what it delivers. As the engineering function grows, the person in this seat will define the architecture, build the platform, and drive the innovation strategy that turns network data into intelligent, production-ready capabilities.

Working closely with Product, Commercial, and the GM, this leader will translate thought leadership into real engineering outcomes, including how NwPS solutions for agentic AI, digital identity, and emerging network API categories become a reality. This is not a delivery management role. It is a strategic engineering leadership position with full accountability for engineering vision, execution, and growth.

• Hands-on experience with cloud-native engineering and AWS in a product environment

• Demonstrated ability to scale and lead distributed, multi-squad engineering teams - experience growing teams significantly and managing through structural change
• Ability to operate as both a strategic thought leader and a credible technical authority - someone who sets vision and can engage meaningfully with architects and engineers
• Startup or scale-up experience: comfortable with ambiguity, willing to take calculated risks, and able to move fast with a can-do mindset
• Strong collaborative instincts - able to partner effectively with Product, Commercial, and executive stakeholders across EMEA and APAC time zones

Requirements

• Familiarity with telco/network API standards (CAMARA, GSMA) or CSP integration patterns
• Experience with developer-facing API products or platforms
