About The Position

Omatic Software is hiring a Vice President of Engineering to lead the teams that build and operate 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 (CPTO) sets direction, and the Vice President of Engineering turns that direction into production outcomes. The role leads an engineering organization of more than 20 people through the migration of established customers to Omatic Cloud, a shift to outcome-oriented teams, and the continued development of the company’s Azure platform foundations. The Vice President of Engineering will establish outcome-focused teams with clear charters, backlogs, metrics, and leads; strengthen reliability and release practices; and partner with Product to deliver the roadmap predictably. The role also owns engineering capacity, spend, and progress reporting, customer migration outcomes, talent development, and the evolution of the software development lifecycle to use AI-assisted development. The position reports to the CPTO and works closely with Product, Finance, and Customer teams. The role runs engineering leadership meetings, co-owns priorities with Product, chairs release and incident reviews, presents a monthly engineering report to the CPTO and CFO, 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.

A track record of hiring engineers against a defined plan, including senior- or staff-level talent, and addressing performance issues while keeping the team strong.
Experience owning production for a multi-tenant SaaS platform, including on-call, incident management, SLOs, postmortems, and reliability reporting to executives or a board.

A practical, forward-looking approach to AI in the software development lifecycle.
