Job Description

Director of Software Engineering (Hands-On, Consumer-Facing Apps)

IN OFFICE - this is NOT a remote role.

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven Track Record: Minimum 8+ years in software engineering with at least 3+ years in a leadership role. Must demonstrate hands-on experience building and scaling consumer-facing applications (e.g., high-traffic web or mobile platforms).
  • Technical Expertise: Deep knowledge of modern programming languages (e.g., JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Java) and frameworks (e.g., React, Node.js, Spring Boot). Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP), microservices architecture, and DevOps practices.
  • Managerial Skills: Experience leading cross-functional teams—recruiting top talent, mentoring engineers, and creating high-performance cultures.
  • Product Mindset: Ability to translate product strategy into tangible technical roadmaps; comfortable balancing business objectives with technical constraints.
  • Hands-On Mentality: We’re not looking for someone who only draws diagrams or delegates. You should be comfortable jumping into code reviews, prototyping solutions, and guiding architecture decisions.
  • Evidence of Success: We strongly prefer candidates who can share live product URLs, GitHub repositories, or case studies showcasing real-world impact and scale.

What You’ll Do

  • Own End-to-End Delivery: Lead architecture, design, and execution of scalable, consumer-facing web and mobile applications.
  • Stay Hands-On: Write and review code, set best practices, and remain deeply involved in the technical details.
  • Lead & Mentor: Manage a growing team of engineers (including our Technical Solutions Engineer), fostering best-in-class engineering culture and processes.
  • Strategize Roadmaps: Partner with product teams to define development priorities, ensuring every project is delivered on time and aligns with business goals.
  • Scale Systems: Drive technical excellence through modern microservices, CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and robust QA practices.
  • Champion Quality: Implement rigorous testing, code review, and deployment processes that deliver secure, reliable, and high-performing products.
