The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Home Depot is hiring a VP of Engineering in Worcester, MA.

• Role description

  We're growing the technology group at Home Depot and need a VP of Engineering who treats reliability as a feature, not an afterthought. Here you'll combine 14 years of know-how with $236,000 - $378,000, full project ownership, and a team that has your back.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Walk technology stakeholders through Public Speaking tradeoffs in language Home Depot execs grasp
  • Ship incremental improvements to Home Depot's Worcester platform on a regular cadence
  • Coordinate releases with stakeholders across Worcester, MA and remote teams
  • Refactor the technology module Home Depot has been afraid to touch
  • Document technical decisions, architecture, and APIs for the broader org
  • Apply Public Speaking and Emotional Intelligence to solve unfussy engineering challenges
  • Sketch Vue.js sequence diagrams that make the technology flow obvious to everyone
  • Defend Home Depot uptime through the 2 a.m. Worcester pages nobody volunteers for

  What You'll Bring

  • The diplomacy to align stakeholders who don't agree yet
  • Proven track record delivering results as a VP of Engineering
  • Working understanding of both Emotional Intelligence and Kafka in real-world settings
  • Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent practical experience

  Home Depot exists for one stubborn reason: the technology tools everyone settled for were never good enough, so we rebuilt them from Worcester, MA. We hold space for disagreement, then commit fully once the technology call is made.

  The package is honest: $236,000 - $378,000, a benefits plan that works, mentorship that lasts, and the flexibility to live in Worcester, MA.

  This req breathes: refreshed hours ago and still very much alive.
