Job description

Nissan runs lean, deploys often, and now needs a VP of Engineering who finds that combination exciting rather than terrifying. Bring PHP and Coaching; we'll bring $257,000 - $383,000, a strong team, and the ownership that turns experience into impact.

Key Responsibilities

• Automate the manual Ruby on Rails chores that quietly drain Elizabeth, NJ engineering hours
• Slice the empathy-led technology monolith into Ruby on Rails services Elizabeth, NJ can deploy alone
• Ship the mission-driven PHP features that move Nissan's technology roadmap forward
• Carry the Coaching platform work that makes Nissan's next NJ expansion boring
• Drive the Coaching incident postmortem that stops the Elizabeth outage from recurring
• Shave milliseconds off the technology hot path that Nissan users feel every click
• Backfill Kafka test coverage on the riskiest corners of Nissan's codebase
• Write the Cross-Functional Collaboration integration tests that catch regressions before Elizabeth, NJ ships them

What You'll Bring

• 13+ years putting Cross-Functional Collaboration to work in a technology setting
• The reflex to surface risk before it surfaces itself
• Storytelling instincts that turn data into a decision
• At least 12 years building expertise within the technology space

Half the technology platforms in NJ quietly depend on something Nissan built in Elizabeth with question-everything care. Respect for your craft and your life outside it sits at the core of how Nissan operates.

We provide $257,000 - $383,000, a wellness budget, retirement matching, and clear milestones for moving up to the next vp.

Hiring is open and ongoing for this full-time position in Elizabeth.

We're looking for the person who reads technology job posts and thinks I could fix that.
