About The Position

Omatic Software is hiring a Vice President of Engineering to lead the teams that build and run its products, including infrastructure, development, platform, site reliability engineering (SRE), and delivery. This is a hands-on operator role: the Chief Product and Technology Officer sets direction, and the Vice President of Engineering makes that direction real in production. The role leads an engineering organization of 20+ people through the migration of established customer use cases to Omatic Cloud, a shift to outcome-oriented teams, and continued development of the Azure platform layer. The VP will establish team structures and operating practices, strengthen reliability and release discipline, deliver the roadmap with Product, and partner with Product and Customer teams on customer migrations. The role also owns engineering talent and culture and will evolve the software development lifecycle to use AI-assisted development. The VP runs the engineering leadership meeting, co-owns priorities with Product, chairs release and incident reviews, and presents a monthly engineering report to the CPTO and CFO. The role works closely with the CPTO, Product, and Finance, contributes to board-level reporting, and co-authors the annual budget and headcount plan. The position is remote within the United States, with travel to Charleston, South Carolina for one week each quarter and for the early-January 2027 team launch.

Requirements

Experience as the senior engineering leader of an organization of 15 to 50 people, reporting to a CTO, CPTO, or CEO; ideally in a private equity-backed or similarly capital-disciplined software company.
A practical, forward-looking approach to AI in the software development lifecycle.
Experience leading structural change, such as moving from component teams to product or outcome teams, and the judgment to explain what you would do differently next time.
A track record of hiring engineers against a defined plan, including senior or staff-level talent, and addressing performance issues while maintaining a strong team.
Experience owning production for a multi-tenant SaaS platform, including on-call, incident management, SLOs, postmortems, and reliability reporting to executives or a board.
Experience building or running integration products at scale, such as connector ecosystems, ETL pipelines, data synchronization, or multi-consumer data platforms.
Experience reporting engineering capacity, spend, and delivery to a CFO, board, or investor.

Nice To Haves

Graph or semantic data experience, or probabilistic identity resolution and entity matching.
