Job description

SmartTech Solutions needs a VP of Engineering in CO who can argue passionately about Flask, then commit to whatever the team decides. A vp seat in CO that values REST API, pays $235,000 - $340,000 for 14 years of it, and hands you the wheel early.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify bottlenecks and propose architectural improvements proactively
• Translate fuzzy product wishes from SmartTech Solutions stakeholders into shippable Presentation Skills services
• Own the hardworking REST API subsystem that the rest of SmartTech Solutions quietly depends on
• Investigate, diagnose, and fix bugs reported by users and monitoring tools
• Watch Jenkins error budgets and pump the brakes before Colorado Springs, CO burns through them
• Catch the values-led RabbitMQ regression in staging before it ever reaches Colorado Springs customers
• Tune Flask caching so SmartTech Solutions survives the Colorado Springs launch spike on the same hardware

What You'll Bring

• The kind of listening that makes the other person feel heard
• Demonstrated ability to teach what you know to someone greener
• A point of view on SmartTech Solutions's space, sharpened by your own reading
• The judgment to say no to good ideas at the wrong time
• The kind of empathy that makes hard feedback land softly
• Ability to learn new technology systems quickly and apply them effectively
• Vp fluency in Flask, with Jenkins on your roadmap

The offer reads $235,000 - $340,000, plus the soft stuff that hard-wins loyalty:

• coaching
