Job Title: Head of NwPS Engineering
Location: Global / Remote (preference for US, UK, or Spain)
About the Role
The Head of NwPS Engineering is a VP-level leadership role responsible for the full engineering delivery and technical strategy of Vonage’s Network Powered Solutions business. This is not a delivery management role — it is an engineering leadership role that carries end-to-end accountability for the platform powering Vonage’s fastest-growing business unit.
NwPS is Vonage’s strategic growth engine, commercialising mobile network operator capabilities as developer APIs — including Verify, Silent Authentication, SIM Swap, Number Verification, and Quality on Demand — for enterprise customers across FinTech, Healthcare, Transportation, and beyond. The engineering function that supports it spans multiple squads, complex multi-CSP integrations, a rapidly evolving product portfolio, and an emerging AI and agentic engineering capability.
The Head of NwPS Engineering will own the vision, structure, and execution of this engineering function. They will report directly to the SA NwPS General Manager and serve as a key voice on the NwPS leadership team.
Key Responsibilities
Engineering Delivery
- Full engineering accountability for: Verify, VNA (Vonage Network APIs), Connectors, Intelligence Engine, Advanced NwPS, and future NwPS products
- Ownership of all NwPS squad delivery across Platform, Network Features, Identity Insights, Frontend, and Verify
- QA Excellence and SDET capability across NwPS engineering
- DevRel engineering in support of the NwPS developer ecosystem
- Operational Excellence, SRE practices, and platform reliability
Architecture
- End-to-end architectural accountability for NwPS engineering
- Direct leadership of the NwPS Architecture function (Architecture Lead reports to this role)
- Ownership of architectural standards, technical design governance, and domain architecture across NwPS products
- Technical decision-making authority for platform design, CSP integration patterns, and engineering standards
Strategic Engineering Leadership
- Agentic AI and MCP engineering strategy and execution
- Engineering roadmap aligned with NwPS product strategy and commercial OKRs
- Representation on the SA NwPS leadership team alongside NwPS Product, Solution Sales, and Strategic BD
- Cross-functional partnership with CTO, Architecture, and SA CPaaS Engineering on shared platform standards and practices
Reporting Structure
This role leads the NwPS Architecture Lead and the squad leads for Platform, Network Features, Identity Insights, Frontend, Verify, and SDET Improvements.
The engineering organisation comprises approximately 40+ engineers across the squads, with seven direct reports once the Architecture Lead position is filled.
Qualifications and Experience
Engineering Vision and Strategy
- Demonstrated ability to set and communicate a multi-year engineering vision for a complex, API-native product portfolio
- Experience leading engineering for developer-facing or telco/network API products is strongly preferred
- Proven capability to align engineering strategy with product roadmap and commercial priorities — not just execute against them
Leadership at Scale
- Track record of leading distributed, multi-squad engineering organisations across multiple geographies
- Ability to develop and retain engineering talent at all levels, including squad leads and senior engineers
- Experience managing engineering through periods of significant growth and structural change
Technical Depth
- Strong grounding in API platform architecture, distributed systems, and cloud-native engineering
- Familiarity with CSP/telco network API standards (CAMARA, GSMA) is a significant advantage
