Director of Engineering

Our Director of Engineering role in Milwaukee, WI is a chance to build Java infrastructure from a clean slate, which at Oliver Wyman happens rarely and matters enormously. At Oliver Wyman the $160,000 - $247,000 matters, sure, but so does owning the technology outcome with 12 years of Presentation Skills behind it.

Key Responsibilities

• Cut Kafka cold-start times so Oliver Wyman functions wake before WI users notice
• Keep the technology AWS service humming through Milwaukee's holiday traffic surge
• Ensure code quality through automated linting, testing, and static analysis
• Own data integrity across Oliver Wyman's Kafka stores so Milwaukee numbers never lie
• Read the Kafka stack traces others skim past, and trace bugs to their root
• Trace a technology number back through Kafka services until it finally adds up

What You'll Bring

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses
• Comfort with the hybrid cadence of a Milwaukee-based operation
• The kind of empathy that makes hard feedback land softly
• Around 10+ years of hands-on experience in a technology role
• Reliable, accountable, and committed to following through
• Willingness to relocate to Milwaukee, WI, or to make remote work

Oliver Wyman began as a side project in Milwaukee and grew into the data-honest platform thousands of technology users now rely on. At Oliver Wyman you can challenge your skip-level's plan and still get a thank-you for it.

The compensation here starts at $160,000 - $247,000, paired with unlimited PTO and a manager committed to your professional growth.
