QuotaPath is the industry-leading sales compensation software and we are looking for a VP of Engineering to lead our high-performing team with a focus on transparency, accountability, and results. As the primary people leader you'll split focus between three overarching categories: team management, resource planning, and security.
With our recent $41M Series B fundraise in April 2022, our product is built on the belief that commissions should be streamlined, transparent, and simple to manage. We are shaping one of the fastest-growing categories in sales tech and we secured a spot on G2's Top 50 Sales Products for 2021. Our culture is centered around serving our customers, building great experiences, and pushing each other to grow, learn, and enjoy the moments we create.
Our name reflects the idea that reaching your goals is all about the journey rather than the destination. As a team, we have a zest for life and a knack for solving problems. We're looking for top performers who lead with empathy, honesty, and curiosity. In return, you'll join a data-driven startup environment built on trust and inclusivity that celebrates success!
Team Management: Our current team consists of 15 engineers, broken into 3 teams that own a functional area of the platform, each with a skilled and experienced team lead. By the end of 2022, we're aiming to have a team almost twice that size, and to have 6 such subteams - and we'll look to you to own hiring, onboarding, and career development throughout that process.
Resource Planning: We have a thoughtful and clearly-defined product roadmap through 2022. By resourcing toward that product roadmap, with guidance from CTO and product leadership, you'll be integral in that plan coming to fruition.
Security: As we engage with larger and more complex customers, demonstrating our security bona fides has become increasingly important. As such, you'll be responsible for maintaining a robust security program, including regulatory compliance, audit-readiness and responding to procurement inquiries.

• Provide visibility into the engineering team's work in a way that is legible and builds trust with leaders and other departments.
• Identify bottlenecks, pitfalls and other potential issues and work proactively with the CTO to address them.
• Embrace a 'build, measure, learn' approach and be comfortable with product lifecycle testing.
• Manage commercial operations of Engineering, including cloud costs and annual planning of R&D including headcount.
• Oversee security operations including questionnaires, GDPR compliance, SOC 2 Type 2 certification, etc.

What you bring to the table:

• 10+ years leading engineering and technology teams, preferably in a high-growth technology company
• Experience collaborating with executives and product management on defining and executing on product roadmap
• Experience managing cloud operations for reliability, scalability, and security in AWS or GCP - GCP experience preferred but not required.
• Strong sense of responsibility; driving initiatives from inception to completion
• Programming experience and understanding of modern technology, ideally matching our current tech stacks (see below)

• Strong project planning and time management skills

Our tech stacks include:
