As a VP of Engineering, you will see your team(s) as your product. You will do so by hiring a world-class team, allocating them to the highest leverage tasks, and putting them in the best position to succeed through training and support. The leader of engineering owns the delivery of product commitments and is always looking to improve productivity. You must coordinate across departments to help scope collaborative goals and ensure that the products that your team delivers accomplish their needs. You will often be given ambiguous ill-defined problems with the implicit goal of gaining clarity and driving execution / direction and customer value.

As a VP of Engineering you will :

• Lead a team that builds product fast, ships product frequently, and maintains a high quality customer experience.
• Build, manage, and edit the team to make sure we've always got the right people & structure in place to address the current development needs and future product complexity.
• Serve as an escalation point for major bugs or technical challenges that can't be solved by the engineering leads.
• Dive in as a member of the team to add coding horsepower to accelerate a project - as part of your plan, not as an emergency rescue.
• Architect systems across the engineering function to help drive results with an eye toward the following :
• Context - make sure they have the context to deliver results, and why their goals are high impact towards the company's broader success
• Vision - make sure the team know what is coming next and why, even if we don't know how to get there yet
• Skills - ensure that each team member grows and feels confident in delivery via their technical depth and personal process
• Processes - make sure that we're continuously evolving our planning and dev approach to have just enough structure to keep our results on track
• Nurture a culture of performance in the development process, while allowing for local differences where advantageous through the following :
• Drive mission, direction, and work across your team, being responsible for the execution towards product delivery.
• Partner with Product to find the best blend of quality, agility, and urgency to match the goals you help the team shape.
• Empower your team by offering clear ownership of technical challenges. Lead through exercising and pairing up to show your depth of coding experience.
• Set expectations for team and individual success. Invest in your team and take action when appropriate.
• Instill a bias to action.
