VP of Engineering

As the VP of Engineering, you will own the engineering organization and the technical delivery of rebuyengine.com. You will lead the Engineering Managers and 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 COO on operational execution. One of the main objectives will be to deliver the 2nd version of the API-first surface - the standardized REST tool set that makes Rebuy the cleanest API in the Shopify ecosystem for agents to call.

What You’ll Do:

• Set engineering strategy, architecture direction and the bar for code, reliability, and security
• Lead and grow the engineering organization through Engineering Managers; install the pod operating model
• 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

• 10 to 15+ years in engineering leadership; have led 30-50 person engineering organizations
• Experience scaling SaaS platforms in ecommerce, martech, or developer tools
• Strong opinions on API design and developer experience - OpenAPI, REST conventions, agent-tool patterns
• Modern stack fluency (PHP/Node/React/Shopify ecosystem helpful)
• Comfortable operating in an exit-process posture with discretion
• Vast experience with large data sets and must be a database expert

The Soft Skills

• Strong communication skills and ability to break down complex problems into easy-to-understand concepts.
• Be a leader by example
• Someone who carries a positive attitude, loves to be a problem-solver, is naturally self-motivated, and passionate about ecommerce.
