## About the Role

* 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 C++; 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 simulation, hospitality/travel, healthcare, or logistics is a plus and weighted by client. Some clients require eligibility for a U.S. security clearance.
 * Able to work onsite or hybrid in the Orlando metro.
 * Legally authorized to work in the United States.

## Description

* 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.
 * For clients serving government or defense-adjacent customers, own the technology side of compliance (CMMC, NIST 800-171, FedRAMP awareness).
