Director of SW Engineering
$100k per yearHRB
About the Role
We are looking for a self-driven, strategic, and collaborative leader to serve as the Director/VP of Software. As the CTO’s right hand, you will own product development across the full stack—from the Go back-end and Rust parsing layer to the Vue/TypeScript front-end.
This is a genuine hands‑on role; you are expected to operate as an individual contributor approximately 40% of the time, participating in code reviews, subbing in for engineers, and driving architecture discussions.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the product development roadmap in partnership with the CTO and Product Management.
- Translate business goals and customer needs into clear technical plans.
- Balance speed, scalability, and technical quality through strategic build‑vs‑buy decisions.
People Management & Team Building
- Oversee and mentor ~5 technical team leads, fostering a culture of ownership.
- Manage the hiring, development, and retention of engineering talent as the organization scales.
- Create growth paths for both individual contributors and managers.
Hands‑on Engineering (40% of time)
- Engage in code reviews, prototyping, and debugging complex problems.
- Drive end‑to‑end web performance analysis (e.g., rendering complex CAD documents with 100k+ elements).
- Lead the development of specialized projects such as a 3D rendering engine for PCBs.
Candidate Requirements
- Experience: 8+ years in software engineering with 3+ years managing engineering teams.
- Leadership: Ideally has experience leading organizations of 15+ engineers total.
- Tech Stack: Deep experience with Go, Rust, and Vue/TypeScript.
- Startup DNA: Experience at a growth‑stage startup (Series A–B) is preferred over exclusive enterprise backgrounds.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree or higher in CS or an equivalent technical field.
- Domain Knowledge: Background in DevOps, developer infra, or hardware‑adjacent domains (IoT/Embedded) is a plus.
- Citizenship: US/Canada residency and authorization required; US citizenship is a plus due to ITAR‑regulated customers.
Tech Stack
- Languages: Go, Rust, TypeScript.
- Front‑end: Vue, SVG, CSS Selectors.
- Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, CI/CD pipelines.
