The Role
As the VP of Engineering, you will own the engineering organization and the technical delivery of rebuyengine.com. You will lead the engineering pods (4-6 engineers each, one team captain per pod) and partner with the VP of Product on the roadmap and with the CEO/COO on operational execution.

• Lead and grow the engineering organization; install the pod operating model, handle organizational design, and establish career progression paths
• Ship the V2 REST API surface, the OpenAPI spec, and the agent-readiness layer
• Own engineering KPIs: delivery velocity, system reliability, defect density, hiring quality
• Partner on diligence-readiness - repo hygiene, IP assignment, security posture - for a strategic transaction.
• Partner with the Product team to define technical vision, architecture standards, and product delivery roadmaps
• Own the performance metrics for Rebuy engine (latency, errors, etc).
• Responsible for all platform security
• Review and optimize our entire tech stack, also assess all critical points of failure to add redundancies as needed.
• Responsible for shipping high quality code.
