As a pioneer of AI-powered field service software now serving over 250,000 users worldwide, we're not done making big changes. We've just launched Simpro Group Lightning - an AI intelligence layer that deploys autonomous agents across field service operations - and we need a VP of Engineering to lead the teams building what comes next.Headquartered in Miami - one of the largest field service software networks in the world - Simpro Group has been transforming how trades and field service businesses operate since 2013. Our platform connects jobs, people, and performance across plumbing, HVAC, fire & security, facilities management, electrical contracting, and more.\nTrusted by over 2,200 high-growth businesses, we've processed billions in invoiced work and scheduled tens of millions of jobs. We've featured multiple times on the Sunday Times Tech Track 100, and we're just getting started with AI.\nSimpro Group Lightning represents the next chapter: AI agents that act as virtual business partners, trainers, documentation specialists, and customer success functions - delivering the headcount the economics never previously supported.\nWhat You’ll Do\nTHE ROLE\nThis is a senior in-person leadership position based in Miami. You'll lead the engineering organisation responsible for Simpro Group's product suite - from the legacy monolith to our rapidly evolving microservices platform and mobile applications - while embedding an AI-First engineering culture that makes every engineer more capable, every delivery faster, and every customer outcome stronger.\n\nYou will report to executive leadership and be a key voice in shaping the technical future of one of the world's most recognised field service technology businesses.\n\nWHAT YOU'LL OWN\nTeam Leadership\nBuild, mentor, and inspire high-performing engineering teams. Drive a culture of ownership, craft, and continuous improvement from squad level to organisational level. Develop engineering managers and create clear career pathways for individual contributors and leaders alike.\nAI-First Culture\nChampion the integration of AI into every layer of how we build - from developer tooling and CI/CD intelligence to the AI agents at the heart of Simpro Group Lightning. This isn't about adopting tools; it's about fundamentally changing how engineers work and what they can achieve.\nEngineering Strategy\nPartner with Product and the C-suite to shape the technical roadmap. Balance velocity on new capabilities with architectural health across a hybrid legacy and modern stack. Translate business goals into clear engineering priorities.\nPlatform Evolution\nOversee the continued migration from AWS EC2 monolith toward AWS EKS microservices. Make the architectural decisions that protect reliability and security while enabling rapid innovation and scale.\nDelivery Excellence\nOwn engineering velocity, quality, and predictability. Build the processes and metrics that let teams move fast without creating tomorrow's technical debt. Hold the bar on engineering standards without becoming a bottleneck.\nHiring & Talent\nAttract and retain exceptional engineering talent across the globe. Make Simpro Group the kind of engineering organisation that people choose over the obvious alternatives. Be the reason great engineers want to stay.\nWHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR\nProven track record leading high-performing engineering teams at scale - you've built, grown, and developed engineering organisations, not just managed them\n\nGenuine conviction about AI in engineering - you've moved teams beyond AI as a curiosity to AI as a core capability multiplier\n\nStrategic technical depth - you can engage credibly with senior engineers on architecture without needing to be the smartest technologist in the room\n\nExperience with SaaS product companies - you understand how engineering decisions compound into product and commercial outcomes\n\nComfort with complexity - you've navigated hybrid environments combining legacy systems and modern platforms, and you've made that transition well\n\nStrong presence and communication - you lead in person, you build trust quickly, and you make hard decisions with clarity\n\nCollaborative by default - you partner well with Product, Commercial, and the wider leadership team to create alignment, not just agreements\n\nTravel to our various offices across the globe including Colombia, UK, Canada, and Australia - this is an on-site leadership role\n\nOUR TECHNOLOGY LANDSCAPE\nYou won't be hired for any one technology - you'll be hired for how you lead engineers across all of them.
