Job description

You've debugged enough Ansible to develop opinions, and HFF has a VP of Engineering role in Kent where opinions are currency. You supply 14 years and C#; HFF supplies $298,000 - $410,000, a Kent home, and growth that does not flatten out.

Key Responsibilities

• Prototype rough Cross-Functional Collaboration ideas fast, then decide which earn a place in HFF's stack
• Pull HFF's Ansible stack out of the WA region before the migration deadline
• Sketch the Webpack architecture, defend it in review, then build the thing
• Build the Delegation tooling that makes every other Kent engineer faster
• Build the innovative Cross-Functional Collaboration feature that wins back the WA accounts HFF lost
• Ship Flask fixes to HFF customers in Kent, WA the same day they report them
• Translate the quality-obsessed PostgreSQL outage into fixes that make the next Kent launch dull

What You'll Bring

• Proven follow-through, measured in shipped things rather than good intentions
• Comfort being measured against a clear vp bar
• A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat
• A keen eye for quality and consistency in your output
• Comfortable presenting ideas to stakeholders at every level

Every product at HFF reflects the customer-centric standards our Kent, WA team holds itself to. Inclusion isn't a poster on the Kent, WA wall; it's who gets pulled into the room and heard.

Here is the deal: $298,000 - $410,000, a mentor who answers, benefits that hold up, and a flexible internship schedule that fits real life.

As of this visit, HFF is actively reviewing for the VP of Engineering role.
