Job Description:

Our client, a high-growth, private equity-backed leader in the global cybersecurity and compliance sector, is seeking an Executive Vice President of Engineering. Serving as the company’s top technology executive, you will lead a global organization across software engineering, QA, and infrastructure operations. This role reports directly to the President and COO, owning the technical vision for a suite of products serving more than 4 million global customers.

The company is currently at a critical strategic inflection point. You will oversee a dual-platform ecosystem: a next-generation, cloud-native platform processing over 6 billion events daily, and an established legacy platform serving a large, diverse customer base. Your mission is to unify these environments, drive the sunsetting of legacy systems, and implement a modern, AI-augmented operating model.

Key Responsibilities:

Engineering Strategy & Technical Vision:

  • Define a multi-year technology roadmap aligned with the company’s mission of proactive threat prevention and compliance excellence.
  • Lead the continued scaling of a flagship cloud-native platform to support an expanding multi-product portfolio.
  • Architect and execute the strategic consolidation of legacy monolithic systems into modern, scalable, microservices-based designs.

Infrastructure & Architecture Leadership:

  • Direct a major infrastructure consolidation, transitioning fragmented environments (Rackspace, AWS, GCP) into a unified, optimized Google Cloud Platform (GCP) ecosystem.
  • Establish organization-wide architectural standards and technical governance for a multi-tenant, multi-product global business.
  • Balance performance at scale with rigorous compliance requirements and complex integration needs.

AI-Driven Transformation:

  • Mandate and champion the integration of AI tools across the full SDLC—including product definition, code generation, testing, and operational monitoring.
  • Establish standards and training to treat AI fluency as a core competency for the entire engineering organization.
  • Leverage AI to accelerate the re-engineering of legacy codebases and reduce cycle times.

Operations & Team Development:

  • Build a high-performing global engineering culture across the US, Europe, and India.
  • Optimize the delivery model by balancing full-time talent with strategic offshore capacity, specifically scaling high-quality engineering hubs in India.
  • Implement a metrics-driven culture focused on velocity, quality, and delivery predictability.

Qualifications:

Required:

  • 15+ years of progressive software engineering experience, with 8+ years in senior executive leadership (EVP, VP, or CTO) at SaaS or tech-forward companies.
  • Proven success leading global organizations of 150+ engineers across multiple geographies.
  • Deep experience in platform modernization, specifically decomposing monolithic legacy systems into cloud-native architectures.
  • Hands-on track record of executing large-scale cloud migrations (specifically to GCP) with measurable cost and performance outcomes.
  • Demonstrated expertise in deploying AI/ML tools to transform developer productivity and code quality at an enterprise level.
  • Experience in Private Equity-backed environments, managing M&A integrations, or post-acquisition platform consolidations.

Preferred:

  • Background in Cybersecurity, Compliance, or FinTech/Payments.
  • Experience with platforms processing high-volume event data (billions of daily events).
  • Expertise in Agile transformations at scale (SAFe, LeSS).

Salary: $240,000 - $265,000. Base 25% Bonus Target, plus benefits.

We will always explain what to expect in advance so you can prepare with confidence.

Human Review & Selection: +

AI insights may assist with organization and evaluation, but final decisions are always human-driven.

Your Rights as a Candidate: +

At PTP, every candidate has the right to:

  • Request a non-AI interview path
