This is a senior engineering leadership role, focused on organisational effectiveness, execution, and alignment. The VP of Engineering is responsible for building and leading high-performing teams and delivery systems, rather than acting as an individual contributor. You will be accountable for delivery across Engineering and Applied AI, working in close partnership with product leadership to ensure work is prioritised, sequenced, and executed in line with business reality. You will absorb organisational and technical complexity so that teams can focus on building high-quality products.
