Vice President of Engineering

As VP of Engineering, you’ll guide the strategic and operational direction of Medium’s engineering organization, working closely with the CEO, and senior leaders across design, content, and analytics to align the technical roadmap with our product vision and business goals. You will directly manage our senior-most engineering leaders—across product engineering, infrastructure, data science, and QA—while shaping the conditions for them and their teams to thrive. You will be the steward of engineering excellence at Medium: raising the bar on quality, scaling systems and teams with intention, and building the connective tissue between engineering and the rest of the business. You’ll also lead Medium’s engineering transformation—bringing modern AI tooling into our internal stack and integrating meaningful AI capabilities into our products, in a way that enhances creativity and trust for both writers and readers. This role requires strong product and strategic thinking, high EQ, technical depth, and a passion for thoughtful, high-ownership culture. The company values clarity over complexity, balancing intentionality and urgency.
