This role involves overseeing the development of secure, resilient, and auditable systems deployed in demanding environments, including government and defense sectors. The position is fully remote within the United States.
The VP of Engineering will lead and grow a team of over 10 senior software engineers, focusing on mentorship and technical excellence.

Experience bringing complex AI, optimization, or data-intensive systems into production environments is required. The role demands clear communication skills, the ability to operate effectively in ambiguous problem spaces, and experience in DoD, IC, federal, or similarly regulated environments. US citizenship is required, and all work must be performed within the United States.
The position offers a competitive salary ranging from $250,000 to $290,000, along with a bonus and equity package. Benefits include 100% employer-paid comprehensive health insurance for the employee and their family, unlimited PTO with manager approval, a flexible work environment, and 14 weeks of fully-paid parental leave.
Red Cell Partners fosters a culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement. The company provides opportunities for professional development and career advancement, encouraging employees to take ownership and influence the company's direction.
