Ready to architect the future of global compliance?

If you're a seasoned engineering leader who's as passionate about team culture as you are about scalable architecture — and if automation, AI, and building future-ready platforms set your soul on fire — this could be your opportunity to shape the future of global commerce.

One of Blackmere’s innovative, high-growth clients is on the hunt for a Vice President of Engineering to lead a brand-new, business-critical initiative: Global Registration & Licenses (GRL). This isn’t just about forms or checkboxes — it’s about giving global businesses the power to launch faster, operate anywhere, and scale with confidence by eliminating regulatory friction.

Why This Role Matters

Every week, millions of new businesses are launched around the world — and every one of them has to navigate an avalanche of licensing and registration hurdles to operate legally. From payroll setup in Texas to VAT registration in Germany, every jurisdiction adds complexity. This leader will guide the engineering organization that’s building the platform to solve that.

You'll lead the charge on a next-gen, AI-powered platform built for flexibility, velocity, and scale. This is a VP-level role reporting to the SVP of Engineering, with influence that spans product, strategy, and executive leadership.

What’s In It for You

• Massive Global Impact – Build the tech that enables companies to operate across borders with fewer blockers. Your work will power thousands of business expansions around the world.
• Strategic Leadership – Be at the table with senior execs. Your voice will shape platform vision, product strategy, and team evolution.
• Tech for the Future – Work with a modern SaaS stack: Kubernetes, microservices, and intelligent orchestration via AI/NLP.
• Global Team Ownership – Lead and inspire a world-class engineering team of 150+ professionals across the U.S., India, and Brazil.
• Automation as a Mandate – Drive the elimination of 150+ manual processes by embedding smart automation into the platform.
