The VP of Software Development leads the engineering organization responsible for building and operating a portfolio of web-based SaaS products, reporting to the CTO. This is a strategy-and-execution role: setting technical direction, establishing a high-velocity engineering operating model, and ensuring teams deliver secure, reliable, enterprise-grade software at scale.
You will partner closely with Product, AI/Data Science, Data Engineering, API, and TechOps leaders to align roadmaps to customer outcomes and scale a primarily full-time engineering organization, augmented by contractors as needed.
Culture and collaboration are critical. This leader thrives in a high-trust, low-ego environment and practices true co-ownership with Product, sharing accountability for outcomes end to end.
Location matters. The engineering hub is in Moscow, Idaho, and strong preference is given to candidates willing to relocate to lead in person and build deep cross-functional relationships.
