Remote VP of Engineering

Step into Transformational Engineering Leadership

Imagine harnessing your engineering vision on a truly global stage. As our next VP of Engineering, you’ll architect the systems and teams that shape groundbreaking products for thousands of users. From setting the technical roadmap to nurturing high-performing talent, this fully remote opportunity lets you drive impact, inspire innovation, and evolve how engineering excellence is achieved—no matter where you log in from. The annual salary for this influential role is $276,404.

Your Mission: Drive Engineering Impact at Scale

Start each day knowing your leadership will set the tone for cross-continental collaboration and technical mastery. Here, you’re not just optimizing delivery cycles; you’re transforming the way engineers grow, products are built, and customer needs are met. Every decision you make—whether it’s selecting architecture, defining OKRs, or scaling agile workflows—ripples out to power meaningful outcomes for end-users, internal partners, and the next generation of tech leaders.

What Success Looks Like

  • Orchestrate a world-class remote engineering organization that thrives on ownership, autonomy, and transparent communication. You’ll bridge the gap between product vision and technical execution, ensuring every project aligns with long-term business objectives and delivers measurable results.
  • Champion a culture where mentorship, continuous learning, and innovation aren’t just words—they’re how we operate. Whether you’re unblocking distributed teams or facilitating roadmap prioritization, your influence ensures our engineering function sets new standards for quality and velocity.
  • Shape the future of our product lifecycle—from ideation to launch to scale. Your knack for translating market shifts into engineering strategies ensures we’re always one step ahead.

Your Day-to-Day Influence

  • Guide and empower engineering managers, tech leads, and contributors across time zones to deliver complex features and resilient infrastructure. You’ll simplify complex ideas—whether it’s over Slack, Zoom, or an async design review.
  • Set direction for key initiatives, from remote collaboration tooling to security practices. Your decisions on architectural investments, technical debt management, and workflow automation are rooted in user empathy and business outcomes.
  • Collaborate with product, design, and customer experience partners to build unified, intuitive solutions. When a major release launches to 50,000+ users, you know your team’s alignment was the secret ingredient.
  • Develop strategies for onboarding, retention, and upskilling that attract and grow the world’s best engineering talent, regardless of geography.
  • Proactively assess engineering metrics, workflow efficiency, and product feedback. You’ll turn insights from daily standups, retrospectives, and user data into actionable plans for team and product growth.

What You’ll Bring

  • Proven leadership in scaling distributed engineering organizations. Your background includes designing global org structures, implementing remote collaboration tools, and scaling agile workflows across multiple product lines.
  • Deep technical acumen across cloud architecture, CI/CD, and software quality standards. You turn high-level technical strategy into clear priorities and practical execution.
  • Empathy for both users and team members. You’ve guided teams through rapid change and have the emotional intelligence to lead during both sprints and setbacks.
  • Experience shaping team culture—championing DEI, continuous learning, and outcome-oriented mindsets. You know how to foster psychological safety, celebrate wins, and provide growth opportunities for every engineer.
  • Ability to translate executive vision into actionable plans, while building trust with engineers, cross-functional partners, and the broader leadership team.

The Tools & Environment

Our engineers work where they’re happiest and most productive. We invest in a remote stack that includes Slack, Jira, Notion, Figma, and best-in-class observability tooling. From sprint planning to asynchronous decision-making, you’ll shape the workflows that enable deep focus and rapid innovation.

Why This Role, Why Now?

The future of engineering leadership is boundaryless. Here, your impact isn’t limited by office walls—it’s defined by your ability to inspire, empower, and drive collective achievement. With a compensation package of $276,404 annually, you’ll have both the autonomy and the resources to reimagine what’s possible, build transformative teams, and deliver products that delight users worldwide.
