VP of Engineering

Scale the engineering organization from 40 to 80+ people while protecting the velocity, code quality, and culture that makes Socket work. Own two intertwined responsibilities: be the operational leader who keeps the organization unblocked and coordinated, AND be the technical leader who shapes architecture decisions and keeps the team executing with urgency.

Design an operating system that actually works. Build planning cadence, sprint structure, and decision-making processes that are lightweight enough to stay fast and rigorous enough to catch risks early. Document how Socket makes decisions so new engineers understand the culture, not just the rules.
