We are always looking ahead to develop innovative new products and services to improve our customers' safety, security, and productivity.

Job Description :

Rite-Hite is a global leader in industrial safety and efficiency solutions-and we're on a bold digital transformation journey. We are seeking a visionary Vice President of Software Engineering to architect and scale Rite-Hite ONE -our next-generation, AI-enabled platform that will revolutionize dock and yard operations, empower customer self-service, and drive real-time equipment lifecycle intelligence across the globe. This hybrid role is based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin .

This is not a role for a caretaker. This is a role for a builder, innovator, and trailblazer ready to scale a world-class software engineering organization and help lead transformative innovation at the intersection of software, hardware and real-world industrial impact.

Why this role matters :

  • Be the architect of change : Define the technical vision for our enterprise-grade SaaS platform-designed to transform how our customers run their operations.
  • Scale with impact : Build and grow a high-performing team of engineers, architects, and DevOps professionals while shaping an innovation-first culture.
  • Drive frontier tech : Harness AI, machine learning, and natural language models to enable predictive analytics, intelligent automation, and conversational interfaces.
  • Lead across the ecosystem : Connect cloud software, IoT hardware, and real-world service workflows to deliver game-changing industrial solutions.

What you'll do :

  • Architect the future : Define and execute the technical roadmap for Rite-Hite ONE , our cloud-native SaaS platform designed for enterprise-scale performance, extensibility, and integration.
  • Build an open ecosystem : Architect a modular platform with robust APIs, SDKs, and low / no-code frameworks that enable third-party development and seamless integration with IoT, ERP, WMS, TMS, CMMS, and EAM systems .
  • Embed intelligence everywhere : Drive the incorporation of AI / ML and natural language models (NLMs) for predictive analytics, equipment health scoring, real-time anomaly detection, digital assistants, intelligent document summarization, and conversational interfaces.
  • Operationalize AI at scale : Partner with Data Science, IT, and Product to implement full-lifecycle ML operations -including model retraining pipelines, feature stores, and real-time inference architecture-treating data as a product and AI as a core platform differentiator .
  • Engineer for reliability and velocity : Champion modern engineering practices- CI / CD pipelines, microservices, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), infrastructure as code, and observability -to deliver secure, high-quality releases at speed.
  • Design for resilience and performance : Ensure the platform can ingest high-volume real-time IoT data , maintain 99.9%+ uptime , and meet rigorous security, privacy, and compliance standards (SOC2, ISO, GDPR, IEC 62443) .
  • Scale the organization : Recruit, develop, and inspire a high-performing software engineering organization -fostering a culture of innovation, technical excellence, and continuous learning across engineering, DevOps, architecture, and QA.
  • Lead cross-functional impact : Collaborate with Product Management, Customer Success, and Field Service teams to deliver user-centric, enterprise-ready capabilities that drive measurable customer value and unlock new business models.
  • What you bring :

  • Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, engineering, or related technical field.
  • 10+ years of software engineering experience, including 5+ in senior leadership (VP, Director, or Head of Engineering).
  • Proven success delivering enterprise-grade cloud platforms in industrial, logistics, or field service domains.
  • Expertise with machine learning, natural language platforms and real-time inference frameworks.
  • Expertise in Java, Python, React, Micro-services, or similar modern languages and frameworks.
  • Depth in AI / ML, cloud architecture (AWS / Azure / GCP), real-time data systems, and modern engineering practices (CI / CD, microservices, containerization).
  • Familiarity with IoT data ingestion, real-time analytics, and third-party system integrations (ERP, WMS, TMS).
  • Strong foundation in DevOps, infrastructure as code, and secure software design principles.
  • Entrepreneurial drive, business acumen, and the ability to inspire teams and stakeholders to chase bold goals.
  • Why join Rite-Hite Digital Solutions :

    You'll join a global, trusted brand with the spirit of a startup -where your ideas can reshape an industry. Here, you'll have :

  • The freedom to innovate, backed by the resources of a global market leader.
  • The chance to build something enduring-a new platform, a new team, a new digital era.
  • The opportunity to scale your impact globally, helping thousands of customers digitize and transform their operations.
