VP of Engineering

We’re looking for a hands-on engineering leader who knows how to inherit, evolve, and scale

software—not just dream it up on a whiteboard. This role is equal parts architect, people

leader, and operator

If you enjoy rolling up your sleeves, improving imperfect systems, and leading globally

distributed teams with urgency and clarity, keep reading.

The Role

You’ll own the design and delivery of high-quality software across our platform, including

integrating future M&A products into a cohesive architecture. This is not a “delegate-only”

role—you’ll be close to the code, the people, and the decisions.

You’ll lead a distributed engineering organization while partnering closely with Product and the

broader leadership team to move fast, ship smart, and scale deliberately.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Own the architecture, codebase, and technical direction of the platform

Lead and evolve a distributed engineering team (onshore, nearshore, offshore)

Drive delivery with a strong bias toward shipping, learning, and iterating

Establish and enforce coding standards, testing practices, and delivery processes

Lead architectural initiatives including legacy code evolution and M&A integrations

Partner deeply with Product to translate business priorities into technical execution

Act as a key voice on the leadership team with board-level exposure

Coach and develop engineering managers and senior contributors

2 Engineering Managers (Houston-based)
