VP, Engineering

the team Build engineering practices around LLM integration, agentic workflows, and AI-driven automation at the product level Develop team-wide judgment on where AI systems operate autonomously and where human review is required, and design products accordingly Note: this is an active and required capability for this role. Candidates should have shipped something in this space, not just a point of view about it. Team Leadership Lead and develop 30+ engineers organized across: Backend Engineering, Full Stack Engineering, Data Engineering, Infrastructure and DevOps, QA and Architecture Grow engineering leads into accountable, autonomous owners with strong technical judgment Build a culture of product engineering — where engineers own outcomes, operate with high autonomy, and are accountable to users and business results, not delivery processes. Build a high-trust, async-first operating culture across a fully distributed, Ukraine-based team Cross-Functional Collaboration Partner with Product, Data Science, Design, and Commercial leadership as a full peer in executive discussions Communicate engineering strategy and status clearly to the CPTO, CEO, and board when required Proactively surface risks, decisions, and opportunities across the organization

the team technically Technology Our stack includes: Ruby, Go, TypeScript, Python, React, Next.js, Databricks, PostgreSQL, AWS, Kubernetes, and GitHub Actions. TypeScript and Next.js are central to the product roadmap and hands-on familiarity with both is expected. The ability to reason well about systems and lead credibly across a broad technical surface matters more than deep experience in every layer of the stack. Communication Business-level written and spoken English is required. This role involves direct participation in English-language executive discussions, partner conversations, and external communications. Clear, precise, and proactive communication across all levels of the organization Ways of Working Proactive and systems-oriented: you identify what needs attention and act Hands-on: you contribute through prototypes, design documents, and architectural review A member of the executive team first, with a remit that extends beyond the engineering organization We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
