VP of Engineering at Fast-Growing Startup

About OnRamp

OnRamp transforms B2B customer onboarding into a revenue driver. Our platform automates workflows, streamlines playbooks, and accelerates time-to-value, helping enterprises reduce onboarding time by up to 70%. Backed by leading investors (we just raised our $15M Series A) and trusted by Fortune 15 companies, we’re redefining how companies bring new customers online.

We’ve built the system of record for post-sale workflows, powering onboarding and expansion for enterprise customers including Fortune 15 companies. Now we’re evolving that foundation into something much bigger: an intelligent system that actually does the work.

We’re building an agentic platform that eliminates friction in the B2B customer relationship.

The Role

We’re hiring a VP of Engineering to lead our transition into an AI-first company.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will be deeply involved in architecture, product decisions, and execution. But the mandate is bigger:

Build and lead a new kind of engineering organization. You will own how this gets built, from architecture to team to execution.

A small, elite team powered by agents and AI, where:

  • Engineering and Product operate in tight partnership to rapidly ship high-impact features

  • Engineers achieve outsized leverage through modern tooling and automation

  • Agents extend the team’s capacity and continue work asynchronously

  • A lean team delivers at the impact of a much larger organization

What You’ll Own

1. Build an Agent-Driven Product

  • Own the core product experience and technical direction of an AI-native platform used by enterprise customers

  • Lead development of agent-based, AI-powered systems embedded in real customer workflows

  • Build on a rich system of record with proprietary enterprise data

  • Ship quickly while maintaining enterprise-grade reliability

2. Design the AI-Powered Engineering System

  • Define how agents and tooling augment and accelerate engineering output

  • Build infrastructure for AI-assisted product development at scale

  • Continuously evolve how the team operates to maximize leverage and velocity

3. Elevate a High-Density Team

  • Lead a small, high-caliber engineering team of 10 to 15

  • Increase talent density, ownership, and execution standards

  • Coach and develop engineers to thrive in an AI-augmented environment

4. Lead from the Front

  • Stay close to architecture and critical technical decisions

  • Engage directly in solving the hardest problems

  • Set the pace for execution and quality

5. Drive Alignment and Impact

  • Partner tightly with Product, Sales, and Customer Success

  • Ensure what we build maps directly to customer value and revenue outcomes

  • Communicate clearly across the organization and with customers when needed

Who You Are

A Builder Who Leads

  • You have led engineering teams in early-stage, high-growth environments

  • You have owned what gets built, shipped, and delivered to customers

Deeply Technical and Product-Oriented

  • Strong track record building enterprise B2B products, ideally workflow-heavy or configurable systems

  • High judgment on architecture, tradeoffs, and product quality

Building with AI

  • Experience working with AI, machine learning systems, agents, or modern AI tooling

  • You think about how AI changes both the product and how it gets built

Talent Builder

  • Proven ability to attract, recruit, and develop strong engineers and teams

  • You know how to create environments where high-performing teams thrive

Exceptional Communicator

  • Clear, direct, and effective across engineers, executives, and customers

  • Comfortable leading high-level technical and product conversations externally

Execution-Oriented

  • You move quickly, prioritize effectively, and ship

  • You focus on outcomes over process

What Makes This Role Unique

  • Build on a real product with real enterprise customers, not a zero-to-one science project

  • Leverage a strong data advantage through the workflows and systems we power

  • Define a new model for engineering teams where AI meaningfully changes how software is developed

  • Lead a small team designed for speed, ownership, and leverage

  • Partner with an experienced leadership team across product, go-to-market, and operations

  • Join a Boston-centered engineering culture with in-office collaboration that drives velocity (while remaining in-sync with remote members)

Requirements

  • Experience leading engineering teams in startup or growth-stage environments

  • Track record of building and scaling enterprise-grade B2B products

  • Ability to operate across strategy, architecture, and execution

  • Strong hiring instincts and ability to raise the bar on talent over time

  • Based in Boston and eager to work in-office 3+ days a week

Why OnRamp

  • Build a category-defining agentic platform for B2B

  • Pioneer a new model of AI-powered product development

  • Work with real enterprise customers solving real problems

  • Join a company with strong momentum and recent Series A funding from top-tier investors

  • High ownership, low bureaucracy, fast-moving team

  • Competitive compensation and meaningful equity

Why OnRamp

  • Work directly with enterprise and mid-market clients, including Fortune 15 companies

  • Join a high-growth AI-first company that just raised its $15M Series A led by top investors

  • Be part of a collaborative, ownership-driven culture

  • Highly competitive cash compensation, equity, and benefits

  • Boston-based, 3+ days a week in-office
