Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Backblaze External Website as an employer.

What you need

  • Experience managing teams outside the United States
  • Experience scaling a company through the 500-1000 employee range
  • Proven ability to build with teams, not around them
  • Experience using AI agents in daily work
  • Strong understanding of remote work dynamics and culture design

Nice to have

  • Background from a strong mid-sized technology company
  • First-time VP or second-time VP looking to build rather than administer
  • Strong communication skills with a tendency to over-communicate

What you get

  • Competitive compensation and equity package
  • Full benefits including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) with matching
  • RSU grants for full-time employees
  • ESPP program
  • Flexible vacation policy
  • Maternity & paternity leave

Worth weighing

  • No mention of specific tools or technologies used beyond AI agents
  • The role requires a strong focus on building and designing culture rather than maintaining existing functions
  • Expectations for a hands-on approach rather than high-level oversight
  • Candidates should be comfortable with the dynamics of a public company
