Job Summary

As the Director of Engineering, you will own delivery outcomes across a full group of teams via their managers, set multi-quarter organizational goals, and operate as a peer to Operations, Sales, and other functional leadership in translating company strategy into engineering execution.

Responsibilities

• Owns delivery outcomes across a full group of teams via their managers — accountable for the sum of the group's output, including cross-team dependencies no single manager can resolve.
• Sets multi-quarter organizational goals and translates company strategy into engineering execution plans.
• Makes org-level prioritization and trade-off calls across competing initiatives and teams.
• Owns the hiring and headcount plan and budget for their organization.
• Manages managers — develops Engineering Managers and Senior Engineering Managers as leaders, not just as individual performers.
• Operates as a peer to Operations, Sales, and other functional leadership, not just as an engineering representative.
• Represents engineering capability and constraints directly to executive leadership.
• Builds external credibility with key customers or partners on technical/organizational matters when needed.
• Builds and sustains a leadership bench — the org continues to perform even when the Director is unavailable.
• Directly shapes company-wide engineering strategy and represents engineering in company planning.
• Owns measurable business outcomes (delivery predictability, retention, hiring velocity) for their organization.
• Sets the cultural tone and standards that shape how their entire organization operates.

Required Skills and Experience

• Bachelor's degree; advanced degree a plus.
• 12+ years total professional experience.
• 3+ year as Senior Engineering Manager (or equivalent), including proven multi-team delivery.
• Working knowledge of our core tech stack: TypeScript/React, C#/.NET, Java/Spring, PostgreSQL (or equivalent).
• Working knowledge of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), microservices architecture, and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA).
• Takes an AI-first approach in role and departmental operations; fluency with AI-enabled development practices and methodologies.
• Effective leadership and people management skills, inspiring and motivating teams to deliver exceptional results.
• Strategic thinking and the ability to align development initiatives with overall company goals.
• Sets technical direction and standards at the organizational level, delegating execution to managers and senior ICs.
• Makes or ratifies build-vs-buy and major platform investment decisions for their organization.
• Ensures technical strategy for their org aligns with company-wide architecture direction.
• Maintains enough technical fluency to be a credible, trusted voice in executive and customer conversations.
• Owns organizational risk: structure, capacity, succession, retention, and morale across the full group.
• Navigates the transition risk inherent in “managing managers” — ensuring problems are solved at the right level rather than being pulled up or pushed down inappropriately.
• Leads response to the highest-stakes organizational or delivery crises within their scope.
• Makes the call on structural changes (reorgs, team splits, role changes) when needed.

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Experience owning a hiring and headcount budget for a multi-team organization.
• Track record of developing Engineering Managers into senior leaders.
• Experience representing engineering directly to executive leadership or the board.
