How Will I Make An Impact?

As the VP Engineering, you will: 

• Lead and coach a total org of ~20, which includes: AI, R&D, Hardware, UI/UX, Platform and Product Management + support the growth of their Director of Engineering, who will lead Cloud and Software Development

• Report to the CEO and be part of the executive team

• Support the client’s goal in diversifying revenue streams. From a technical POV, this means expanding the complexity of their tech stack to address the nuances of lateral markets.

• Analyze, diagnose and improve the engineering team’s velocity

• Support and guide the team in paying down technical debt

• Expand internal engineering capacity through the development and active management of subcontracts and/or subcontractors in the fields of hardware design, software development, and AI research.

• Separate the product roadmap from the technology roadmap - managing both - and communicating across and up the org with executives and down the org to your engineering team

• Lead the productization and offshoot products that align with P&L goals

• Lead the engineering team in their mentorship, skill development, and career growth

• Support the team in person by coming into the Waterloo office 3x a week
