Rite-Hite is a global leader in industrial safety and efficiency solutions-and we're on a bold digital transformation journey. We are seeking a visionary Vice President of Software Engineering to architect and scale Rite-Hite ONE-our next-generation, AI-enabled platform that will revolutionize dock and yard operations, empower customer self-service, and drive real-time equipment lifecycle intelligence across the globe. This hybrid role is based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This is not a role for a caretaker. This is a role for a builder, innovator, and trailblazer ready to scale a world-class software engineering organization and help lead transformative innovation at the intersection of software, hardware and real-world industrial impact.

  • Define and execute the technical roadmap for Rite-Hite ONE, our cloud-native SaaS platform designed for enterprise-scale performance, extensibility, and integration.
  • Architect a modular platform with robust APIs, SDKs, and low/no-code frameworks that enable third-party development and seamless integration with IoT, ERP, WMS, TMS, CMMS, and EAM systems.
  • Drive the incorporation of AI/ML and natural language models (NLMs) for predictive analytics, equipment health scoring, real-time anomaly detection, digital assistants, intelligent document summarization, and conversational interfaces.
  • Partner with Data Science, IT, and Product to implement full-lifecycle ML operations-including model retraining pipelines, feature stores, and real-time inference architecture.
  • Champion modern engineering practices-CI/CD pipelines, microservices, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), infrastructure as code, and observability.
  • Ensure the platform can ingest high-volume real-time IoT data, maintain 99.9%+ uptime, and meet rigorous security, privacy, and compliance standards (SOC2, ISO, GDPR, IEC 62443).
  • Recruit, develop, and inspire a high-performing software engineering organization-fostering a culture of innovation, technical excellence, and continuous learning across engineering, DevOps, architecture, and QA.
  • Collaborate with Product Management, Customer Success, and Field Service teams to deliver user-centric, enterprise-ready capabilities that drive measurable customer value and unlock new business models.
  • Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, engineering, or related technical field.
  • 10+ years of software engineering experience, including 5+ in senior leadership (VP, Director, or Head of Engineering).
  • Proven success delivering enterprise-grade cloud platforms in industrial, logistics, or field service domains.
  • Expertise with machine learning, natural language platforms and real-time inference frameworks.
  • Expertise in Java, Python, React, Micro-services, or similar modern languages and frameworks.
  • Depth in AI/ML, cloud architecture (AWS/Azure/GCP), real-time data systems, and modern engineering practices (CI/CD, microservices, containerization).
  • Familiarity with IoT data ingestion, real-time analytics, and third-party system integrations (ERP, WMS, TMS).
  • Strong foundation in DevOps, infrastructure as code, and secure software design principles.
  • Entrepreneurial drive, business acumen, and the ability to inspire teams and stakeholders to chase bold goals.
  • Competitive compensation
  • Comprehensive benefits package with medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Life and paid medical leave
  • Retirement savings plan that combines 401(K) with company match and profit sharing
  • Paid holidays, vacation, and up to five paid personal/sick days per year
