## About the role

We are hiring a VP of Engineering to lead and scale our engineering organization. This is one of the most senior roles at Nace AI. You will partner directly with our CEO and CTO to translate our research and product vision into reliable, enterprise-grade systems — and build the team, processes, and culture that make world-class execution repeatable.

## What they're looking for

- 10+ years of software engineering experience, including 5+ years leading engineering teams at high-growth startups or enterprise software companies
- Proven track record scaling an engineering org from ~10 to 50+ engineers while maintaining velocity and quality
- Deep technical fluency in modern ML/AI systems, distributed infrastructure, and enterprise SaaS — you can go toe-to-toe with senior ICs on architecture
- Experience shipping and operating products for enterprise customers with strict security and compliance requirements, fintech, audit, or regulated-industry background is a strong plus
- Professional proficiency in both English and Russian, enabling effective collaboration across our distributed, multilingual engineering team
- Strong operational instincts: you build lightweight processes that create leverage, not bureaucracy
