DevHub

Vice President, Engineering Location: Remote (US-based preferred) Department: Engineering Reports To: Daniel Rust, CTO About DevHub DevHub is a marketing technology platform headquartered in Seattle, WA. We build enterprise-grade CMS solutions that help businesses create, host, manage, and optimize their websites at scale. We combine powerful technology with hands-on service - and that combination is what sets us apart in the MarTech space. We're a lean, focused team. Everyone here has real ownership and real impact. About the Role We're hiring a VP of Engineering to lead and grow our Engineering and DevOps functions. This is a player-coach role — you'll set technical direction, own the software development lifecycle, and roll up your sleeves on architecture and process when it matters. You'll report to the CTO and hold a key seat on our leadership team, collaborating closely with the VP of Customer Success and VP of Operations to align engineering output with business outcomes. This is not a role for someone who wants to manage from a distance. It's a role for someone who wants to build something. What You'll Do Engineering Leadership - Own the engineering roadmap in partnership with the CTO, balancing new feature development, platform modernization, and technical debt - Define and run the SDLC end-to-end: requirements through QA, staging validation, and production deployment - Set and enforce engineering standards: code review, documentation, testing, and release management - Act as technical architect on major initiatives including REST API refactors, database modernization, and new dashboard development - Establish guidelines for responsible AI coding tool adoption within the team DevOps and Infrastructure - Own CI/CD pipelines, branch management, deployment automation, and environment management - Lead infrastructure decisions across Rackspace Cloud and AWS, including containerization (Docker) and database scaling - Build and maintain a proper staging environment for pre-production testing and validation - Drive security and compliance initiatives, including SOC 2 readiness Team Development - Lead, mentor, and grow the frontend, backend, and DevOps teams - Identify hiring needs and lead recruitment for engineering roles - Build a high-performance, accountability-driven culture with clear ownership Cross-Functional Collaboration - Partner with Customer Success and Operations to scope customer-facing builds and manage delivery expectations - Establish a repeatable Engineering-to-Services handoff process so new features are demo-ready and deployable without bottlenecks - Serve as engineering escalation point when the CTO is unavailable What We're Looking For Required - 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with 3+ years in an engineering leadership role (Manager, Director, or VP) - Hands-on experience with Python-based development and REST API design - Strong DevOps background: CI/CD, branch management, deployment automation, infrastructure-as-code - Experience with AWS and/or GCP, including containerization with Docker or Kubernetes - Experience managing relational and NoSQL databases at scale - Proven track record of building and retaining engineering teams - Strong cross-functional communication skills — you can translate technical tradeoffs into plain business language - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience You'll Thrive Here If You - Have a player-coach mindset: technically credible, without ego - Bring structure without bureaucracy — you right-size process for the team you have today - Communicate clearly and honestly, even when the answer is complicated - Move with urgency but not chaos — you value sustainable delivery over heroic sprints - Are energized by ambiguity and the opportunity to build something better See full job description at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gXYO3HmPJfuiqi1jSl7dIZUsKrMeK8iwEKH4UXDoZcs/edit?usp=sharing
