Overview: We're looking for a strategic and technically strong engineering leader to drive innovation and scale for one of Avalara's flagship SaaS products-a $50M revenue-generating line with double-digit growth and a customer base in the hundreds of thousands. This is more than just a leadership role. It's a chance to put your fingerprint on one of the top AI-enabled platforms in the industry, steering both its near-term transformation and long-term innovation strategy. #LI-Remote Responsibilities: * Lead and inspire engineering teams through a multi-year transformation, including replatforming legacy components and building modern, scalable infrastructure. * Drive innovation by weaving AI into the product's core-working hand-in-hand with PMs and data scientists to deliver customer-facing, AI-powered experiences. * Own the product's technical roadmap, ensuring it aligns with business objectives, customer demands, and long-term scalability goals. * Foster a culture of excellence, accountability, and forward-thinking engineering. * Act as a strategic advisor to executive leadership on AI integration, technical investment, and product growth strategy. Qualifications: * Proven success managing engineering organizations behind $50M+ product lines or similarly scaled SaaS platforms. * A bachelor's degree (or higher) in Computer Science is required. * A solid engineering foundation-capable of understanding, building, and scaling complex systems. * Expertise in platform modernization (replatforming, scalability, microservices, etc.) coupled with a strong understanding of AI-driven product development. * A track record of building and mentoring high-performing teams, with a leadership style that's both empowering and execution-focused. * Clear, strategic communication-comfortable engaging across technical, product, and business teams. This Role Is For You If * You're an engineering leader ready to scale something meaningful, not just maintain the status quo. * You see AI as a tool for product differentiation-not just a buzzword-and know how to apply it with intent. * You thrive in high-impact environments where visibility is high and the opportunity to influence is even higher.
