VP Software Engineering

We are looking for a VP of Software Engineering to join our small, but growing team of high-performers. We’re after someone who approaches problems from first principles, honing in on underlying causes and diligently iterating towards the best solution. We believe that great products feature incredible experiences that customers never want to stop using.

About Timescapes

Founded in New Zealand in 2017, Timescapes is a visual progress tracking solution for complex construction projects – our mission is to simplify construction through shared visibility. Customers love Timescapes because it helps them stay on schedule, validate construction claims and communicate progress more effectively.

We’re a rapidly growing company, and are used by some of the largest construction firms across Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States. We’re deliberate and thoughtful in everything that we do, and we emphasise awareness, care and quality in our approach to product development.

About the role

As our first dedicated VP of Software Engineering at Timescapes, you’ll be leading our software development efforts and managing our team of (currently 7) engineers. This will involve continuing to nurture our core product, while also developing potential new products. Key aspects of the role include :

• Engineering management : managing a group of talented engineers across the front end, back end and machine learning disciplines. This will also involve supporting the team with respect to career development, and hiring new roles as Timescapes expands into new regions.
• Delivery & execution : introducing more discipline to the way the team plans and executes work. Proactively identifying risks with respect to delivering the product roadmap and quarterly objectives. Getting on the tools if required to help unblock or accelerate the team. Building strong relationships with Product, Design and other functions within the business.
• R&D guidance : a focus on ensuring our ML + data science efforts are both effective and scalable. Working with Product to frame up experimentation paths for higher-risk investments, and levelling up our ML infrastructure.
• Infosec : up we grow to a point where we can hire a dedicated infosec professional, this role would own key responsibilities around application security, network security, access controls, incident response and compliance (e.g. SOC2, GDPR, ISO etc.).

We are open to this role being located in Auckland, Melbourne or Vancouver.
