We’ve been named a Leader by multiple analyst firms and have been globally recognized for Innovation, Product Strength, and Simplicity in Design.

Join us on our mission to shape the future of our industry.

Software development is undergoing a fundamental shift. AI agents now generate, test, and refactor code at machine speed — and the engineering system that validates, secures, and ships that code must evolve just as fast. This is not a DevOps role. This is a transformation role.

We're looking for a VP of Engineering to own the full Developer Experience, AI-enabled SDLC, and Security Operations function — redefining how software is built, validated, secured, and deployed across Cohesity. The mission: enable developers and AI agents to ship dramatically faster, while continuously raising the bar on quality, security, and cost efficiency.

We're evolving from: Code → Review → Test → Security → Deploy

To: Generate → Understand → Validate → Secure → Deploy → Observe → Remediate → Learn

AI and automation handle the mechanical work. You build the system that makes that possible.

HOW YOU'LL SPEND YOUR TIME HERE

  • Lead and scale the organization. Manage a globally distributed team of Directors and Senior Directors spanning Developer Experience, CI/CD, test infrastructure, engineering automation, DevSecOps, and engineering intelligence. Set the multi-year strategy, own the roadmap, and build the operating model that scales with AI-driven velocity.
  • Transform Developer Experience. Build the internal developer platform that eliminates friction from idea to production — self-service environments, AI-powered dev tooling, and analytics that make underlying engineering complexity invisible.
  • Reinvent CI/CD and test infrastructure. Evolve pipelines from static pass/fail checks into intelligent delivery systems that understand what changed, what's at risk, and what validation is required. Build AI-driven, risk-adaptive test selection so high-confidence changes ship fast and high-risk changes get deep scrutiny.
  • Build AI-powered code review and automated remediation. Develop systems that perform semantic analysis, security scanning, architecture compliance, and regression prediction at machine scale — shifting...
