Vice President, Software Engineering

Overview

As the Vice President of Engineering, you will lead a team of talented developers working together to transform final mile logistics and supply chain operations. This role will act as a key leader within the organization to help drive our development team. Success in this position comes from a highly collaborative approach with deep knowledge of software and development scale. The VP of Engineering reports directly to the Chief Technology Officer (CTO).

Responsibilities

• Partner with the CTO to create and implement a technology vision
• Partner with Chief Software Architect to identify scalability bottlenecks of our software, design future state architecture, and execute on plans

• Own the rollout, adoption, and continuous evolution of OneRail's AI-augmented software development lifecycle — including agent-assisted coding, code review, PR readiness, and cross-pod coordination tooling — ensuring engineers across all pods are equipped, trained, and accountable for using these capabilities effectively
• Define and operationalize the metrics that measure AI-augmented delivery outcomes (e.g., throughput, change failure rate, review cycle time, agent-assisted PR quality, and developer leverage), and use those measurements to drive iteration on tooling, process, and pod-level practices
• Partner with the CTO and Release & Risk pod to evolve quality gates, governance, and guardrails as AI tooling expands across the SDLC, ensuring velocity gains do not come at the expense of reliability, security, or auditability
• Act as supervisor to all technical leads, who support our product delivery teams
• Recruit and retain top-tier product delivery talent
