VP, Engineering

The Company You’ll Join

At Rebuy, we're on a mission to revolutionize shopping with intelligent, personalized experiences that wow customers around the globe. As a fully remote team, we power some of the fastest growing DTC brands like Tecovas, Momofuku, Dime Beauty, Liquid Death, Magic Spoon, OLLY, and many more.

We believe in ownership, drive, and empathy and strongly uphold that every team member plays a vital role in shaping the future of intelligent commerce. Our culture thrives on collaboration, creativity, and genuine passion. We don’t just build great tech - we build lasting partnerships, a strong community, and a place where people love to work.

The Role

As the VP of Engineering, you will own the engineering organization and the technical delivery of rebuyengine.com. You will lead the engineering pods (4–6 engineers each, one team captain per pod) and partner with the VP of Product on the roadmap and with the CEO/COO on operational execution. One of the main objectives will be to deliver the 2nd version of the API-first surface — the standardized REST tool set that makes Rebuy the cleanest API in the Shopify ecosystem for agents to call.

What You’ll Do:

• Set engineering strategy, own technical architecture, direction and the bar for code, reliability, and security

• Lead and grow the engineering organization; install the pod operating model, handle organizational design, and establish career progression paths

• Ship the V2 REST API surface, the OpenAPI spec, and the agent-readiness layer

• Own engineering KPIs: delivery velocity, system reliability, defect density, hiring quality

• Partner on diligence-readiness — repo hygiene, IP assignment, security posture — for a strategic transaction.

• Partner with the Product team to define technical vision, architecture standards, and product delivery roadmaps

• Own the performance metrics for Rebuy engine (latency, errors, etc).

• Responsible for all platform security

• Review and optimize our entire tech stack, also assess all critical points of failure to add redundancies as needed.

• Responsible for shipping high quality code.
