Our teams exhibit work-play energy that supports individual growth, as well as encourages the freedom of creativity and "thinking outside the box."

As a Senior Director of Engineering, you will assume a critical leadership role, responsible for guiding multiple engineering teams and shaping the technical strategy for key areas of our business. You will bridge the gap between high-level vision and tactical execution, empowering your managers and their teams to deliver exceptional results.

With your blend of deep technical expertise, strategic foresight, and proven leadership, you will drive complex, cross-functional engineering initiatives and foster a culture of innovation and excellence. This is a chance to make a significant impact on our products, scale our engineering practices, and mentor the next generation of technical leaders.

Responsibilities :

Team Management and Development

  • Lead, manage, and scale multiple high-performing engineering teams, fostering a culture of collaboration, ownership, and technical excellence across your entire department.
  • Oversee the hiring, performance reviews, and career development for engineers and engineering managers, ensuring team members have clear growth paths and the mentorship needed to succeed.
  • Own the performance management process for your domain, setting ambitious goals, providing constructive feedback, and driving a continuous improvement mindset among managers and individual contributors.

Project and Process Oversight

  • Ensure that cross-team dependencies and strategic roadblocks are identified and resolved with urgency, maintaining momentum on large-scale initiatives.
  • Balance the needs of your teams with the company's broader strategic objectives, aligning technical roadmaps with business goals and identifying opportunities to scale processes and improve efficiency.
  • Define, analyze, and report on key performance metrics for your department, leveraging data to inform strategic decisions and communicate progress to executive leadership.
  • Strategic Development

  • Co-develop and execute a comprehensive technical strategy that aligns with the product vision and overall business goals, ensuring the long-term health and scalability of our systems.
  • Identify, champion, and lead the implementation of innovative technical solutions to tackle complex architectural and business challenges, driving a forward-thinking engineering culture.
  • Workload and Resource Management

  • Manage and prioritize the technical workload across multiple teams, ensuring efficient resource allocation and effective development practices that meet strategic deadlines.
  • Oversee the budget, headcount planning, and resource allocation for your department, ensuring optimal use of resources to achieve project goals and financial targets.
  • Problem-Solving and Communication

  • Anticipate and proactively address potential architectural and organizational roadblocks, empowering your managers and teams to solve problems independently while providing strategic guidance.
  • Communicate effectively with stakeholders at all levels, including executive leadership, translating complex technical strategies and trade-offs into clear business impact.
  • Continuous Improvement

  • Stay current on the latest technologies and industry trends, evaluating and implementing solutions to enhance development processes, team performance, and overall organizational effectiveness.
