Job Description
Vice President of Engineering responsible for building and scaling Brightfin’s engineering organization across global teams. Leading delivery velocity, technical quality, team health, and engineering culture.
Responsibilities:
- Own the engineering delivery model: sprint cadence, release quality, deployment velocity, and incident response across the full platform.
- Drive meaningful improvement in delivery predictability — Brightfin needs to ship faster and more reliably as the product roadmap expands.
- Partner directly with the CPO to translate product strategy into executable engineering plans.
- Establish clear engineering SLAs and accountability structures across distributed teams.
- Drive AI adoption across the engineering team — engineering should lead, not follow, Brightfin’s company-wide AI fluency initiative.
- Build trusted relationships with the CPO and CEO; translate technical complexity into business impact.
- Own the engineering org design: team structure, hiring prioritization, headcount planning, and budget.
- Own the technical architecture strategy in partnership with staff/principal engineers: API design, data layer, integrations, and scalability.
- Understand and evolve engineering standards, code quality practices, security posture, and DevOps/CI-CD maturity.
- Lead, develop, and retain engineering managers and senior individual contributors across the US, Ukraine, the Philippines, and other geographies.
- Build a high-performance, psychologically safe engineering culture that spans geographies and legacy company identities (brightfin + Proven Optics).
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field (or equivalent work experience).
- 8–15 years of engineering experience with 4+ years in engineering leadership, including direct management of engineering managers.
- Proven track record leading distributed engineering teams, ideally including Eastern Europe or similar high-skill globally distributed models.
- Experience scaling a B2B SaaS product through a high-growth phase.
- Strong delivery instincts: ability to diagnose why a team is underperforming and implement systemic solutions — not just urgency.
- Architectural fluency: ability to make sound technical calls and earn the respect of senior engineers without writing all the code.
- Experience navigating post-merger or significant organizational change; ability to build trust across legacy organizational identities.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to translate technical complexity into business impact for executive audiences.
- Strong people leadership skills with demonstrated ability to build and retain high-performing, geographically distributed teams.
- Ability to operate in a fast-paced, PE-backed environment with a bias toward action and pragmatic decision-making.
- Fluent in English.
Benefits:
- brightfin offers a comprehensive health, dental and vision benefits package.
- Paid time off.
- We strongly believe in work-life balance and taking time for yourself.
- 401K with employer match.
- Competitive Salary with Bonus.
