Senior Vice President of Engineering (San Francisco)

An early-stage, venture-backed company building a high-performance intelligence platform powered by advanced machine learning and proprietary data processing techniques is in the search for a VP of Engineering. The core mission is to bring order and clarity to vast, messy datasets by uncovering actionable insights through scalable systems and bleeding-edge algorithms.

The company is solving one of the most painful problems in enterprise data operations : surfacing causality, anomalies, and performance metrics across fragmented systems. This requires deep technical thinking, cross-functional collaboration, and a culture rooted in adaptability and speed.

The Role

We're seeking a VP of Engineering to lead the companys growing technical team through its next phase. This is a unique opportunity for a startup-seasoned engineering leader who thrives in ambiguity, excels at building from the ground up, and knows how to scale both teams and technology.

This is not a hands-off role. Youll be in the trenches helping shape architecture, unblock engineers, and guide strategy while also hiring, coaching, and building a resilient, high-performing culture.

What Youll Own

• Leadership & Team Building : Scale the engineering org significantly, while maintaining velocity, trust, and strong developer culture
• Technical Stewardship : Guide architecture decisions across the data platform, distributed systems, and backend infrastructure
• Operational Excellence : Bring rigor and structure to how the company builds, deploys, and measure progress as the team and product scales
• Product Partnership : Collaborate cross-functionally to deliver fast, iterate quickly, and balance short-term execution with long-term bets
• Recruitment & Mentorship : Attract world-class engineers and help existing team members grow into leadership roles
