  • Own engineering planning, resource allocation, and execution of the product roadmap
  • Drive predictable delivery through effective sprint planning, prioritization, and execution
  • Coach and mentor engineering managers and senior engineers while supporting career growth and team development
  • Improve engineering processes, development practices, and operational efficiency across teams
  • Partner with the Chief Architect to ensure scalable, secure, and maintainable technical solutions
  • Ensure engineering teams build reliable, high-quality software that meets customer and business needs
  • Monitor engineering metrics and continuously improve delivery, quality, and team performance
  • Collaborate with Product, Customer Success, Sales, and Operations to align priorities and remove delivery obstacles
  • Champion engineering best practices, code quality, testing, and continuous improvement
  • Support hiring, onboarding, and organizational planning to scale the engineering team
  • Foster an AI-first engineering culture by identifying opportunities to leverage AI for software development, testing, and operational efficiency
  • Help shape technical direction and contribute to long-term engineering planning alongside executive leadership
  • Build a culture of accountability, ownership, innovation, and continuous learning
Qualifications:
  • 8+ years of progressive software engineering experience with significant engineering leadership experience in SaaS organizations
  • Proven experience leading engineering teams and delivering complex software products
  • Experience as a Director of Engineering, Engineering Manager, Senior Engineering Manager, or similar leadership role
  • Strong background in building and delivering modern cloud-based SaaS applications
  • Deep understanding of software architecture, APIs, cloud infrastructure, and modern software development practices
  • Experience leading Agile software development teams and improving engineering processes
  • Strong experience with engineering planning, delivery management, and capacity planning
  • Proven ability to hire, coach, and develop high-performing engineering teams
  • Experience partnering closely with Product Management and Architecture to deliver customer-focused solutions
  • Strong understanding of engineering operations, CI/CD, testing, observability, and software quality practices
  • Experience leveraging AI tools to improve engineering productivity and software quality
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills with the ability to influence across technical and non-technical teams
  • Strong organizational, prioritization, and problem-solving skills
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
What We're Looking For:
  • Strong engineering leader who enjoys coaching and developing teams
  • Execution-focused with a track record of delivering high-quality software
  • Collaborative partner who works effectively across Product, Architecture, and the business
  • Data-driven decision maker who continuously improves engineering performance
  • Comfortable leading through change in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
  • Passionate about modern engineering practices, AI, automation, and continuous improvement
  • High ownership mentality with a bias toward action and delivering results

  • Collaborate with a motivated team, directly tying your results to organizational success
  • 22 days of PTO plus public holidays
  • 401k Match
