We’re looking for a Director of Engineering to join our Origination team—someone who brings a unique blend of strong technical expertise, people-first leadership, and a passion for building high-performing teams.

In this role, you’ll lead a mix of engineering managers and engineering team members in a collaborative Agile environment (SAFe, Scrum, Kanban), contributing to technical direction while scaling process, culture, and innovation. This is a great opportunity for a leader who thrives on solving complex challenges in delivery, resourcing, and team alignment—and who sees leadership as both a strategic role and a human one.

What You’ll Do

• Lead, coach, and grow engineering managers and ICs, creating a clear path for growth, performance and accountability.
• Drive strategic planning, resource and capacity management, and team alignment across multiple workstreams.
• Drive hiring strategy, and resource balancing, onboarding and team integration experience.
• Participate in technical discussions and code reviews; bring hands-on engineering perspective to application architecture, design, and delivery decisions.
• Champion SDLC best practices, including testing automation, CI/CD, and secure development standards.
• Guide teams working on Salesforce-based systems and cloud-native applications (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Partner cross-functionally with product and design to ensure delivery outcomes align with team and company goals.
• Bring curiosity and direction to innovation efforts, especially around the use of AI and automation to improve developer experience and efficiency.
• Promote team-first behavior, encourage candid conversations, and foster an environment of trust and transparency.
• Build bridges across teams — influencing outside your direct team, establishing trust with cross-functional stakeholders, and improving collaboration where it’s missing.
• Champion learning and development — mentoring your managers to do the same, and creating space for team growth through stretch work, training, and feedback.
