VP/Head of Engineering #2675
Position Summary:
Our partner is a large, established hospitality organization with more than 10,000 hotel rooms and 15,000 employees, embarking on a companywide digital transformation. Historically, customer-facing technology has been delivered through consulting partners and third-party platforms. We're building our internal digital product engineering capability from the ground up to own and evolve the next generation of customer experiences.

As the technical counterpart to a senior Product executive, this leader will establish the engineering vision, architecture, cloud strategy, AI-enabled development practices, and technical foundations that support multiple customer-facing digital platforms. This is a rare opportunity to build a modern product engineering organization inside a business with significant scale, established brands, and executive commitment.

There is no mature software engineering organization to inherit. The idóneo candidate combines the technical depth of a Principal Engineer with the leadership of a VP of Engineering, remaining hands-on with architecture, code reviews, prototyping, and engineering decisions while building the team, culture, and operating model from the ground up.

Experience and Education:
Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Information Technology, a related field, or an equivalent professional background.
Proven experience building engineering organizations, digital products, or software platforms from the ground up within startup, scale-up, or enterprise transformation environments




Principal or Staff-level technical depth designing complex distributed systems, modern software architectures, and customer-facing digital platforms
Demonstrated success leading engineering organizations while remaining actively involved in architecture, code reviews, prototyping, and technical decision-making
Experience integrating modern digital products with enterprise platforms, third-party systems, and cloud-native services
Hands-on experience establishing engineering foundations, including CI/CD, automated testing, observability, security, and software delivery practices
