As the VP of Engineering Applications, you will turn intelligence into a real product. This position is a senior engineering leader who stays close to the product, makes hard technical decisions, and holds a high bar for quality and delivery. This position is 100% Remote.
Responsibilities
- Own the application engineering strategy and execution across backend, mobile, and desktop.
- Lead and grow a small, senior applications team, including backend, mobile, and desktop engineers.
- Set the architectural direction for Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered product workflows, APIs, and client integrations.
- Ensure AI capabilities are integrated into the product with clear abstractions, predictable behavior, and graceful failure modes.
- Partner closely with Machine Learning leadership to translate model capability into shippable product features.
- Make high-impact decisions across latency, cost, reliability, security, and user experience.
- Establish clear ownership boundaries across backend, mobile, and desktop to prevent architectural drift.
- Ensure production readiness: observability, monitoring, retries, fallbacks, privacy, and cost controls.
- Balance speed and discipline shipping quickly without compromising long-term system quality.
Requirements
- Significant experience leading application or product engineering for complex systems.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) experience required.
- Strong hands-on background building and shipping backend systems used in production.
- Experience delivering Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered products, with a deep understanding of model integration trade-offs.
- Excellent system design skills across services, APIs, clients, and data flows.
- Comfort operating across platforms (backend, mobile, desktop), even if your depth is in one.
- Proven ability to make high-impact technical decisions under ambiguity.
- A strong bias toward shipping, iteration, and learning from real-world usage.
- Low ego, strong judgment, and the ability to raise the technical bar for the entire applications organization.
