Director of Engineering

Reporting to the CTO, you will lead at least two engineering pods, each focused on key application areas within our product. You'll play a hands-on leadership role—guiding teams, shaping technical direction, and contributing directly to code and system design.

We believe in leading from the front. You don't need to be the strongest engineer on the team, but you should be comfortable rolling up your sleeves regularly and setting a strong technical example.

You'll be product- and outcome-focused, with a sharp sense of where to invest time and energy—and where not to. You'll work closely with Product Owners to deeply understand our business domains, help shape product vision, and drive meaningful results.

You'll also help build your teams. Hiring great engineers is a critical part of this role, so experience attracting, assessing, and onboarding high-quality talent is important.

We genuinely value focus and efficiency. Meetings should be purposeful and structured. If you love excessive ceremonies, status updates, or meetings for their own sake, this role likely isn't the right fit.

Our tech stack experience requirements are intentionally flexible. We expect strong engineers to adapt quickly. Experience with TypeScript, React, Python, Django, or .NET is a plus—but not a prerequisite.

The role's key responsibilities are listed below:

• Lead and scale multiple engineering teams
• Contribute hands-on to coding and system design
• Collaborate with Product Owners on feature ideation and prioritization
• Keep teams productive, motivated, and engaged
• Ensure clear communication across teams when it matters most

• You're a strong communicator and a creative storyteller
• You can confidently manage multiple stakeholders, both internal and external

• Healthcare coverage. We have a full benefits package that includes medical, dental, vision, disability and life insurance, and a paid parental leave program
• Learning and development. Access the resources you want to help you grow in your role by utilizing our $750 yearly training stipend
