VP Engineering | FBED Labs
Senior enough to build the department. Hands-on enough to launch the product.
FBED Labs is building a new generation of commercial intelligence software. We're moving from a profitable, founder-led company into a scalable software business — and we're now building the senior leadership team that will take our product, Cascade, from launch-ready to launched, adopted and scaled.
We're hiring a VP Engineering to build and lead our engineering function through a defining stage of growth. You'll work directly with our CEO, COO and leadership team to bring Cascade to market, strengthen the product's technical foundations, and build the engineering team around what the company needs next.
The right person operates at both levels: close enough to the work to understand architecture, delivery and technical risk; senior enough to build the department, hire the team, and lead engineering through scale.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you'll do:
- Build and lead the engineering function as we launch and scale our products
- Lead technical delivery of Cascade and future FBED products
- Set engineering standards across architecture, reliability, security and delivery
- Recruit, assess and onboard high-quality engineers
- Support AI-assisted and agent-assisted development while maintaining quality
- Improve infrastructure, data, observability and production readiness
What we're looking for:
- Led engineering in a high-growth software, SaaS or technology company
- Shipped complex B2B products used by real customers
- Built or scaled engineering teams, with strong architectural judgment
- Experience with AI, machine learning or data-heavy/applied AI systems
- Familiarity with modern AI development workflows, including agent-assisted engineering
- Comfort with systems-heavy environments (Rust, Tokio or similar a plus)
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
This role is for you if you're senior enough to build the department and hands-on enough to help launch the product — someone who enjoys the space between frontier technology and commercial execution, and can build structure without slowing the company down.
It's not for you if you only want to manage through layers or prefer joining a fully mature engineering organisation. We need someone who can build the function, not just inherit it.
