About This Role
Job Overview
This VP of Engineering role is about building the engine, not just steering the ship. You'll define the technical vision and lead the teams that turn it into reality, all while shaping an engineering culture that people want to be part of. The position is based in El Paso, TX, and you'll be joining an organization ready to scale its technology and its people.
Duties & Responsibilities
- Set and evangelize the long term technical strategy across all product lines.
- Mentor engineering managers and senior tech leads, focusing on their growth as leaders.
- Own the engineering budget, making tough calls on tooling, infrastructure, and headcount to align with business goals.
- Bridge the gap between product, design, and executive teams to ensure roadmaps are realistic and impactful.
- Establish quality, security, and operational excellence as non negotiable standards within the team.
Requirements
- A decade plus in software development, with at least five years directly managing other managers.
- You've shipped complex systems at scale and can articulate the trade offs you made along the way.
- A history of recruiting top tier engineering talent and building high performing teams from scratch.
- Hands on experience with modern cloud architecture; you don't need to code daily, but you must speak the language fluently.
- The mental stamina for strategic planning one minute and diving into a critical production issue the next.
What It's Like in This Role
Your week might start reviewing architectural diagrams for a new platform service and end mediating a prioritization debate between two passionate product leads. The environment is built on trust; you set the direction for engineering, and your team leaders execute.

Expect a full calendar; this isn't a nine to five job, but you have control over how you structure your time in El Paso, TX or remotely.
