Requirements

Candidates must possess over 10 years of combined experience in both Engineering and Product, with a proven history of senior-level leadership in these areas, ideally within a high-growth SaaS, infrastructure, or B2B startup environment. Experience in scaling early-stage products from inception to over $50 million in revenue, encompassing both technical and business aspects, is essential. Familiarity with IoT systems, real-time telemetry, or AI/ML for decisioning or automation is required, alongside a demonstrated ability to build and scale teams, systems, and roadmaps. Strong product intuition coupled with the technical depth to guide complex engineering decisions, excellent communication skills for aligning stakeholders and simplifying complexity, and comfort interfacing with enterprise customers, engineers, and executives are also crucial. A background in manufacturing, industrial tech, or operations-heavy products, and a track record of building AI-native products are considered advantageous.

Responsibilities

The Vice President of Product & Engineering will own the full product lifecycle, including vision, roadmap, execution, launch, and iteration, defining product strategy based on customer insights, market dynamics, and technical feasibility. This role involves driving execution through fast-moving sprints, ensuring builds are sharp, validated, and impactful, and regularly engaging with users to understand needs and validate ideas. Responsibilities also include partnering with Sales and Customer Success to build products that deliver real value, and establishing internal systems for product feedback, roadmap visibility, and cross-functional collaboration. Additionally, the position entails defining and driving the technical strategy for scalability, reliability, and speed, leading and growing the engineering team, and creating a strong engineering culture focused on accountability, innovation, and velocity. Overseeing technical delivery across the stack, including AI/ML systems, APIs, integrations, and cloud infrastructure, and implementing necessary practices, tools, and architecture to ensure rapid yet stable development are key duties. Ensuring alignment between product and engineering to build the right things the right way is paramount.
