VP of Engineering
Software Engineering
Montevideo Department, Uruguay
Posted on Jun 18, 2026
The Company
nocnoc is the leading e-commerce platform for global brands and retailers entering Latin America. We connect +500M online customers across 15+ marketplaces through one unified platform. We're committed to connecting Latin America with the world through e-commerce. IT is established with a solid team and structure — now it needs someone to take it to the next level.
The Role
We need a VP of Engineering who operates as a peer to our VP of Product. IT and Product must work as equals. You'll own:
- Strategic alignment — keeping effort focused on real business bets, resisting work that doesn't move the needle
- Quality & scale — systems that hold up in production
- Speed & predictability — reliable delivery timelines at a good pace
- Continuous improvement — evolving the team and process to take on more, better
- AI as a multiplier — leveraging Anthropic (Claude) and modern tooling so the team builds more, better, and faster — taking full advantage of what's possible today
Who We're Looking For
Three pillars:
- Deeply technical, especially in AI. You understand how software is built today — with AI as a core lever. You have the judgment to evaluate architecture decisions and move the team toward ways of working that weren't possible before.
- Highly strategic. You think two steps ahead: what the area needs operationally, how the org chart should evolve, which frameworks to put in place. You anticipate, not react.
- Strong people leader. You develop technical talent, build internal trust, earn external credibility, and make hard calls when needed.
What You Bring
- Technical judgment across Java/Spring Boot, TypeScript/Next.js/React, Python, PostgreSQL/MariaDB/DynamoDB, Redis/Valkey, full AWS stack, and AI integration (Anthropic Claude, AWS Bedrock). Grafana, Graylog, Metabase, Tableau. You evaluate what to keep, deprecate, or adopt — not encyclopedic knowledge, but clear judgment.
- Strategic foresight to shape the structure, roles, and ways of working as the area scales.
- Track record leading technical teams — developing talent, earning trust, building credibility.
- Native Spanish. Fluent English (written and spoken) and peer-level communication with Product, international profiles, and external vendors. Portuguese is a plus.
- Ownership mindset. You build while improving the process, without slowing delivery.
What We Value Most
- Ownership and results-driven thinking
- Comfort with dynamic change and high-speed growth
- Strategic outlook: anticipate, don't react
- International, multicultural mindset
- Empathy, conviction, and judgment to make decisions
Thank you for reading and we hope to meet soon!
