    Vice President of Engineering

    Shift5 is seeking a full-time Vice President of Engineering to lead our talented and growing engineering
    team. Not for the faint of heart, this position requires a strategic thinker who can bring a team together to
    accomplish a common goal and a hands on leader who simply never fully separates themselves from the
    day to day operations.

    This position will collaborate closely with executive leadership to execute our product vision while building
    the architecture that will both meet today’s needs and scale into the future. You will guide our engineers
    through the design, development and deployment of our product. Having experience with the challenges
    and best practices associated with building and scaling an enterprise software product, you will help us
    create processes and systems that will get in front of and past these speed bumps quickly. You’ll also
    partner with our hardware and embedded software teams to prioritize and optimize resources. Reporting
    directly to our Chief Product Officer, the person in this role will manage a large team of software
    engineers.

    We’re looking for someone who is execution and delivery minded, knowledgeable and passionate about
    building great teams, specifically teams who are responsible for developing and delivering products that
    meet and exceed customer expectations. You are an engineer at heart, who will leverage your technical
    expertise to constantly raise the bar and ensure the team consistently delivers outstanding results.
    Establishing processes for quality, security, scalability and supportability comes naturally to you. You
    have worked in a startup previously - rapidly building technology, teams, and processes from scratch is
    exciting and rewarding, not daunting. If this sounds like you, drop us a line because we’d love to hear
    from you.

    Shift5 is a rapidly growing cybersecurity scale-up. We specialize in cybersecurity technology for


    operational systems, data collection, and insights for a wide variety of operational systems. To put it
    simply, we defend planes, trains and tanks from cyberattack. We are a collaborative, passionate and
    driven cadre of cyber security experts. Our engineers are multidisciplinary and our team is dynamic.
    We’re a growing company focused on helping our customer’s fleets run smarter and safer by capitalizing
    on mountains of data resting right about the wheels. Come join us.

    In this role you will be expected to:

    • Partner with our executive team to influence and execute our product vision
    • Build and lead a software team capable of launching multiple products in parallel
    • Ensure engineering delivery is on schedule, scalable, supportable and meets high levels of
    quality and performance
    • Lead, manage and mentor a national team of remote and onsite engineers
    • Partner with cross functional peers to prioritize resources and drive efficiency and accountability
    • Oversee technical strategy and architecture across all dimensions of the product
    • Provide technical leadership, guidance and support while nurturing a collaborative, innovative,
    and inclusive culture. Instill a sense of ownership and impact
    • Establish, communicate, and implement engineering and development policies, practices,
    standards, and security measures to ensure effective and consistent operations
    • Champion overall engineering and operational excellence; establish metrics and processes for
    regular assessment, feedback, and improvement
    • Develop, implement and manage an annual budget in collaboration with our finance team
    • Recruit and retain a world class team

    We're looking for someone who is/has:

    • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science or a closely related discipline


    • Demonstrated success launching multiple products in parallel
    • 15+ years managing product engineering teams
    • 10+ years designing, developing, testing, and deploying enterprise software products
    • Experience delivering cloud based SaaS solutions. AWS expertise preferred.
    • Experience with massive data volumes, data pipelines, AI/ML/analytics tools and technologies
    preferred
    • Cybersecurity experience is a great advantage, but not required. If you’ve built an intrusion
    detection system (IDS), deep packet inspection (DPI), network detection and response (NDR), or
    SIEM/SOAR platform, that would be ideal
    • Proven track record of delivering enterprise-level reliable and scalable solutions
    • Experience delivering products to US Department of Defense customers, working within classified
    environments, and the standards and procedures required. Experience delivering a FedRAMP
    solution is a great advantage, but not strictly required
    • Experience managing a distributed team. Demonstrated expertise in best practices for
    communication, collaboration and planning with a remote workforce
    • Experience leading a team through refining and improving the Software Development Life Cycle,
    quality processes, adherence to standards.
    • Keep up with industry trends and can assess and utilize new technologies to help solve problems
    • A “no job too small” entrepreneurial attitude
    • Must be US Citizen and willing to obtain security clearance
    • Location: Rosslyn VA preferred, remote is ok but willingness to travel to the office as needed will
    be expected
