This is an opportunity to step into a key leadership role, drive change, and position our engineering organization for long‑term success.

Role Overview : We are looking for a Director of Engineering to backfill our CTO, who is departing mid‑December. The successful candidate will lead and optimize a 20‑person development team, including core R&D, AI‑focused engineers, QA, and individual contributors. You will implement processes to improve team performance, ensure high‑quality and timely delivery of software, and establish mechanisms for prioritization, accountability, and KPI tracking.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and manage a diverse development organization (20+ people) spanning front‑end, back‑end, AI, QA, and R&D.
  • Overhaul existing engineering processes to ensure consistent, high‑quality code delivery.
  • Implement mechanisms for reprioritization, tracking KPIs, and managing external customer expectations.
  • Work closely with product leadership to prioritize initiatives, balance short‑term delivery with long‑term engineering goals.
  • Hands‑on coding experience; leverage AI tools (e.g., Claude) to enhance productivity and accelerate development.
  • Provide technical guidance in Java, C#, .NET, Python, and Angular development across cloud‑native applications hosted on Azure.
  • Ensure CI / CD processes are optimized for speed, quality, and repeatability.
  • Mentor, coach, and delegate effectively while staying engaged in technical details as needed.
  • Drive change management initiatives across the engineering organization to support scaling and rapid growth.

Qualifications

  • Proven experience leading high‑performing engineering teams in fast‑paced, high‑growth environments, ideally startups.
  • Strong track record of implementing engineering processes, improving delivery quality, and managing KPIs.
  • Hands‑on coding experience across Java, C#, .NET, Python, and front‑end frameworks like Angular or a strong technical aptitude and ability to use AI tools.
  • Deep understanding of cloud‑native architectures and modern CI / CD pipelines (Azure preferred).
  • Experience managing R&D, AI‑focused development, QA, and cross‑functional engineering teams.
  • Demonstrated ability to balance strategic leadership with hands‑on technical involvement.
  • Exceptional decision‑making, prioritization, and change management skills.
  • Strong communication skills; able to align engineering outcomes with business objectives.

    • Why Join

  • Take a leadership role at a pivotal stage in a high‑growth startup.
  • Drive tangible impact by improving engineering performance, processes, and product quality.
  • Collaborate with a talented team and shape the company’s technology strategy.
