Senior Vice President, Software Engineering

Qualification

Demonstrated track record of building, leading, and growing an internal engineering organization of comparable scale (~180 persons or more) through senior leaders, with specific examples of engineering leaders and ICs recruited, developed, and retained — consulting or oversight experience alone does not meet the bar. Deep and current technical judgment on modern front-end stacks (React/TypeScript or comparable), including server/client rendering, CDN caching, accessibility, browser performance, and native vs. web vs. hybrid app trade-offs; has owned the stack behind a very large-scale consumer experience. Hands-on ownership of high-volume cloud production services, with the ability to recognize clean design and balance in microservices architecture, API contracts, asynchronous messaging, caching, data consistency, and idempotency, and to articulate latency, resilience, and cost trade-offs. Proven experience scaling empowered agile teams and modern delivery practices — CI/CD, automated testing, feature flags, progressive rollout/rollback — and deploying AI coding agents and assistants with training, review, testing, and data controls with demonstrated gains in lead time and quality.
