Why we're hiring
Alloy is looking to hire a VP of Engineering to help us expand our incredible engineering team and navigate the complex harbor of shipping great products to our customers. To belabor the metaphor, you'll be the tugboat captain - the experienced eye routing us through well-trafficked waterways, warning us before we run aground and charting our course to the next port.
This role will report to the CTO but will ideally be a partner to the CTO with orthogonal goals and methods. The VP of Engineering will be primarily responsible for day-to-day delivery, working with the product team to ensure what we commit to gets done and we're constantly expanding our ability to deliver and building a great engineering culture.
What you'll do
- Give engineers the processes, management, mentorship, and tools to ship the best products (such as a comprehensive knowledge base, uncomplicated org structure, learning opportunities, simple processes and technical standards)
- Set and track goals and KPIs for the engineering team overall, and also work with managers for their teams
- Recruiting, hiring, and building the Alloy engineering brand
- Working heavily with the product team to set expectations, allocate resources and prioritize, and follow through on our commitments
- Responsible for the happiness, retention, advancement, and performance of all engineers
What we look for
- Experience leading a team of 50+ engineers
- Experience scaling a team, especially at a venture-backed product company
- Caring about culture and aligning the team to the values
- Comfortable with continuous delivery and fast-paced product development
- Technical credibility - while you won't need to be writing code, we think it is easier to lead an engineering organization if you can contribute in architecture discussions and understand how it all works
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Humble - agrees with the philosophy of servant leadership; you lead by pointing people in the right direction and being there to help support them along the way, not by micromanaging or demanding
- Based in New York or willing to move to the Tri-State area (relocation will be provided)
We're a lean team, so your impact will be felt immediately. If this all sounds like a good fit for you, why not join us?
