About the Role:
The Company is seeking a Vice President of Technology to lead modernization of its engineering organization and technology platforms. The role will drive the transition from legacy systems to cloud-native, event-driven architecture, while setting technical direction across platform, core, and domain engineering teams. Responsibilities include establishing architecture standards and governance; improving scalability, reliability, software quality, and delivery practices; and advancing AI-assisted, specification-driven development. The leader will also build and develop engineering teams, oversee technology investments and vendor relationships, and align modernization plans with business priorities. Candidates should have 15 or more years of progressive software engineering and technology leadership experience, including leading multiple teams in a complex, high-volume environment, and a bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. Required expertise includes large-scale distributed systems, event-driven and microservices architecture, cloud migration, CI/CD, automated testing, infrastructure as code, DevOps, and site reliability engineering. Experience with AI-assisted development and generative AI, as well as developing engineering leaders and guiding organizational change, is also required. Background in logistics, transportation, e-commerce, or another high-volume industry is valuable; experience with cloud platforms, AI platforms, and operational technology is preferred.

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.
