Feathr's software marketing platform equips nonprofits with the tools they need to build purposeful connections with their community and grow impact with confidence.

We're working on building an amazing culture at Feathr, where amazing people (like you) can do their best work. If you're ready to grow and "help the helpers" you've come to the right place.

VP of Engineering

Salary Range: $200,000- $250,000 annually

Additional Compensation: Annual performance bonus + Equity

Benefits: Fully Remote, Health/ dental/ vision, Paid Vacation/ sick/ holidays

Your Work:

Feathr is at an exciting inflection point. Our platform powers digital marketing for non-profits and associations doing important work. We are taking an established, high-impact B2B SaaS product and refining it into a best-in-class, highly reliable, and exceptionally usable platform.

As our VP of Engineering, you will have a seat on the Executive team, partnering closely with the VP of Product, CEO, and additional Executive Team members to shape our long-term technology vision, co-create the product roadmap, and lead Feathr’s company-wide AI transformation.

This is an opportunity to lead a talented team of 15 (11 Engineers and 4 Tech Leads), leave a lasting impact on our platform, our culture, and the customers we serve.

Where You’ll Make an Impact

• Serve as a strategic peer to executive leadership. You will translate business goals and customer needs into an ambitious, scalable technology strategy, balancing feature innovation with codebase reliability and technical health.

• We’ve already deployed Claude company-wide. You will turn tool access into strategic capability by establishing standards, governance, and workflows that measurably elevate engineering velocity, code quality, and developer experience.

• Mentor and elevate our Tech Leads and Engineers. You will establish career progression pathways, performance standards, and org structures for a team eager for professional growth.

• Establish high standards for system reliability, performance, and defect reduction. You’ll build a clear allocation model between roadmap delivery, technical debt, and ongoing maintenance.

• Align engineering investments with key business metrics (uptime, customer satisfaction, defect rates, and operational efficiency). Serve as the technical voice to executive leadership, cross-functional partners, and key customers.

What You Bring

• 6+ years of engineering leadership experience (scaling teams through product-maturity phases and growth transitions) alongside 10+ years of formal software development experience.

• Proven success developing and coaching team members, building management layers, and shaping high-performing, growth-oriented engineering cultures.

• Demonstrated experience driving the rollout, adoption, and governance of modern AI coding tools (e.g., Claude, Copilot).

• Deep knowledge of modern SaaS architecture, cloud infrastructure, and software performance optimization in an established codebase.

• Strong commercial judgment. Knowing when to move fast, when to push for perfection, and how to connect engineering decisions directly to customer value.

• B2B SaaS experience strongly preferred; MarTech, Adtech, or adjacent verticals a huge plus.
