We're a team of innovators and creators who believe in the power of technology to solve complex problems and create meaningful change. We value communication, impact & ownership, collaboration & empathy, and growth mindset, and we're looking for a visionary and empathetic leader to join our executive team. As the Vice President of Engineering, you will be a pivotal leader, responsible for guiding our engineering organization into its next phase of growth. This isn't just about managing teams; it's about inspiring them to do their best work while scaling our technology and culture. You'll partner closely with our C-suite and product leadership to define and execute the technical strategy that will shape the future of Aspect.
What You'll Do:
- Architect for Scale: Oversee the architecture and development of scalable, reliable, and high-performance systems that meet our users' needs and our business's requirements.
- Build and Empower Teams: Lead, mentor, and grow a world-class engineering organization. You'll be responsible for hiring top talent, fostering an inclusive and high-performance culture, and providing clear career paths for our engineers.
- Drive Excellence: Establish and promote engineering best practices, including code quality, testing, deployment strategies, and operational excellence. You'll ensure our teams are not only moving fast but also delivering with quality.
- Collaborate Broadly: Work closely with cross-functional partners in Product, Design, Data Science, and Operations to translate big ideas into tangible products and features. Your ability to communicate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences is key.
- Manage Resources: Own the engineering budget and ensure the efficient allocation of resources to maximize return on investment.
- Lead Engineering Transformation: Spearhead the modernization of legacy technology stacks, guiding the team through the transition to cloud-native, scalable architectures and modern development practices.
Who You Are:
- A seasoned engineering leader with 15+ years of experience in software development, with a significant portion of that time spent in a senior leadership role (Director, Sr. Director, or VP).
- You have a proven track record of scaling and managing large engineering teams (100+ employees).
- You possess deep technical expertise in software architecture, cloud technologies (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure), and modern development methodologies (Agile, DevOps).
- You are an empathetic and inspiring leader who prioritizes people and culture. You understand that building great teams is the foundation of building great products.
- You are an exceptional communicator and collaborator, capable of building strong relationships with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- You have a strong sense of ownership and accountability, with a bias for action and a relentless focus on delivering results.
- You have a proven track record of leading complex engineering transformations, successfully transitioning organizations from legacy technologies to modern, scalable cloud environments.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
