Role And Responsibilities
- Own the technology vision, product-engineering roadmap, and R&D budget, and present them to the CEO and board.
- Lead and scale an engineering organization of roughly 25 to 150 people across engineering, architecture, DevOps, QA, and data.
- Modernize a platform that has outgrown its first architecture: move from monolith toward services, retire technical debt, and improve release velocity.
- Own cloud strategy and cost on AWS or Azure, including FinOps discipline and infrastructure as code (Terraform).
- Set engineering standards: CI/CD (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or Jenkins), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), observability (Datadog, New Relic, or Splunk), and secure SDLC.
- Lead the company's practical AI adoption, from embedding LLM features in the product to AI-assisted engineering, with measurable business outcomes.
- Build the data platform strategy (Snowflake, Databricks, or equivalent) in partnership with product and analytics.
- Own build vs. buy decisions, vendor selection, and contract negotiation, including when and how to use external partners and staff augmentation.
- Serve as the technical voice to customers, investors, and during diligence or M&A activity.
- 12 or more years in software engineering, with 5 or more years leading engineering leaders (manager of managers).
- Current or recent seat as CTO, VP Engineering, or Head of Engineering at a mid-market company (roughly 200 to 2,000 employees). This is a hands-on executive role; candidates whose leadership experience is only inside Fortune 500 or large enterprise environments are unlikely to be a fit.
- Direct ownership of an engineering budget and headcount plan, not execution against someone else's.
- Hands-on credibility across a modern stack: one or more of Java, .NET/C#, Python, Node.js, or Go; React or Angular; AWS or Azure; Kubernetes; PostgreSQL or SQL Server.
- Track record of a platform modernization or re-architecture delivered with measurable results.
- Experience in a PE-backed, founder-led, or high-growth environment strongly preferred.
- Industry experience in fintech, logistics, healthcare, or hospitality is a plus and weighted by client.
- Able to work onsite or hybrid in the Miami metro.
- Legally authorized to work in the United States.
- Competitive base salary plus performance bonus; equity or LTIP with some clients
- Medical, dental, and vision coverage
- 401(k) with employer match
- Paid time off and paid holidays
- Executive ownership of the technology roadmap and budget
- A seat at the executive table with direct CEO and board exposure
- The chance to build rather than maintain
