Vice President of Engineering

Care.com is a consumer tech company with heart. We’re on a mission to solve a human challenge we all face: finding great care for the ones we love. We’re moms and dads and pet parents. We have parents and grandparents so we understand that everyone, at some point in their lives, could use a helping hand. Our culture and our products reflect that.

Care.com offers an array of services that enable families to find, manage, and pay for care, while also providing employment opportunities for caregivers. Our engineering organization is reimagining our tech stack and consolidating to a single cloud-native platform so we can test and learn faster. The new platform is composed of gRPC microservices and Lambdas in Go, Kafka streams, DynamoDB, Elasticsearch, GraphQL, and micro-frontends on Node and React. We're utilizing industry best practices and tools like OpenTelemetry, Splunk, Github, SignalFX, and Figma to accelerate innovation.

Care.com is seeking a Vice President of Engineering to lead our Enterprise, LifeMart, and International businesses. This executive will oversee an organization of 30–50 engineers, driving both technical excellence and business innovation.

The ideal candidate is a seasoned leader with deep architectural expertise, proven success scaling consumer and enterprise products, and the executive presence to represent Engineering with senior leadership and the IAC Board. Beyond operational execution, this leader will act as a strategic partner to our GM and Product teams, shaping business growth through technology.

We’re looking for someone with a track record of stability and long-term impact, passionate about building inclusive, high-performing teams and embedding AI workflows that unlock new opportunities. This is a rare chance to combine hands-on technical leadership with the ability to shape the future of care solutions on a global scale.
