VP, Engineering

Banyan Infrastructure is a project finance software platform purpose-built for green and climate infrastructure deal teams, lenders, and fund managers. The platform provides a unified workflow and data layer that replaces fragmented tools such as Salesforce, Monday.com, and Excel, enabling organizations to manage the full lifecycle of infrastructure deals — from origination and underwriting through portfolio management and compliance reporting. Its customers include owner-operators, developers, infrastructure funds, project financiers, green banks, and community funds. The company's mission is closely tied to accelerating the deployment of sustainable and climate-focused infrastructure by removing the operational friction that slows down green finance. By centralizing deal pipelines, due diligence processes, covenant tracking, and portfolio risk monitoring in a single platform, Banyan Infrastructure helps climate-focused financiers close deals faster and scale their portfolios without proportional increases in headcount. What makes Banyan Infrastructure distinctive is its deep focus on the project finance niche within the green economy, offering tools specifically designed for the complex reporting, compliance, and covenant management requirements of infrastructure lending and investment. The platform creates audit-ready submission records and provides real-time KPI alerts, allowing teams to proactively identify at-risk investments and stay ahead of stakeholder obligations.

The Role

We are hiring a Vice President of Engineering to lead engineering, QA, and infrastructure. This is an executive role for a strong technology leader who enjoys building teams, collaborating closely with peers, and delivering high-quality software with speed and discipline. The right candidate brings enterprise software judgment, hands-on startup mentality, and a practical view of how AI can improve both engineering productivity and product capability.

What You Will Do

• Lead engineering across application development, QA, and infrastructure engineering.
• Build and coach a high-performing team culture centered on ownership, quality, reliability, and pace.
• Partner with Product, Customer Success, and leadership peers to translate company priorities into clear engineering plans and predictable execution.
• Improve planning, SDLC, architecture, release management, observability, incident response, and overall delivery discipline.
• Guide technical decisions across Banyan’s Java and Vue.js stack, with Python capability where needed for services, automation, and AI-oriented workflows.
• Advance enterprise readiness across security, auditability, resiliency, deployment practices, and operational rigor.
• Drive practical use of AI to improve engineering productivity and support customer-facing AI capabilities where they create real value.
• Help recruit, develop, and retain strong engineers while raising the bar for technical leadership and cross-functional collaboration.

What We Are Looking For

• Senior engineering leadership experience at the Director, VP, or equivalent level.
• Strong B2B SaaS background, including experience serving enterprise customers.
• Experience operating in regulated or control-oriented environments where security, reliability, and process discipline matter.
• Hands-on technical judgment across modern web applications, cloud systems, and software delivery practices.
• Working knowledge of Java, Vue.js, and Python.
• Experience with applied AI solutions such as RAG, LLM workflows, ReAct patterns, or agentic frameworks.
• A startup mindset: pragmatic, collaborative, resourceful, and comfortable moving between strategy and execution.
• FinTech experience is a plus, but not required.

What Success Looks Like

In this role, success means building a stronger engineering organization, increasing confidence in roadmap delivery, improving product quality and platform stability, and helping Banyan scale its technology foundation for enterprise customers. This leader should be equally comfortable setting direction, making decisions, and stepping in to unblock the team when needed.

Why Join Banyan

You will help shape how Banyan builds, how the engineering team operates, and how the platform evolves for customers in demanding markets. This is an opportunity to lead meaningful product and platform work in a company that values collaboration, execution, and practical problem solving.

Compensation
