Director of Web Engineering

The Director of Web Engineering is responsible for executing the web technology roadmap and ensuring the reliability, scalability, and quality of Holley's customer-facing web platforms. Reporting to the CIO, this role leads the Software Engineering and QA teams that develop, enhance, and support Holley's websites and digital commerce experiences.
