[Hiring] Director of Engineering @Prismatic

Role Description

We're hiring a Director of Engineering to lead the Engineering organization. This role reports directly to the CTO and is the single engineering leader across two teams currently totaling 8 engineers, with a plan towards ~12. This is not a manager-of-managers role today; you’ll be directly managing the team. The ideal candidate is someone excited to directly lead a team of high performing Senior+ Engineers. Beyond the people management side, you'll own the full scope of execution: process, feature delivery, quality, while maintaining a highly engaged group of people.

Prismatic is built primarily in TypeScript (both frontend and backend), with some Python and Django on the backend and React on the frontend. We build a sophisticated low-code integration builder, an SDK and tools for building integrations fully in TypeScript, and features powering our customers' AI agent functionality. All of this on top of a high-scale, performance critical platform. While this is not a hands-on building role, being confident in the technology, and the challenges of scaling a developer-facing SaaS platform will be crucial to high quality decision making.

What will you do:

• Partner with Product to drive execution across all initiatives; on-time delivery, quality and consistency.
• Manage, coach, and grow all engineers directly, regular 1:1s, high-quality feedback, and growth conversations.
• Staff each initiative and pair it with the right Tech Lead; develop the Tech Lead bench so ownership keeps spreading.
• Surface and resolve cross-initiative risks: staffing gaps, priority collisions, delivery delays.
• Contribute to hiring: help us find, close, and ramp the next several engineers.
• Contribute technically where it helps, this isn't day-to-day code, but helping with architecture review, tech-debt analysis, scaling challenges, etc.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated progression from a technical role to a leadership role, with demonstrated experience managing multiple teams of Engineers in a fully remote environment.
• You've operated as the senior-most engineering leader in a group, or close to it; comfortable being the only manager, without a layer beneath you.
• Significant technical experience in at least one area of our stack; able to speak credibly in architecture and scoping conversations.
• Proven partner to Product on scope, estimation, and delivery commitments.
• Experience managing remote teams; excellent written communication.
• Thrives on accountability, bias to action, strong desire to empower individuals and win as a team.
• Experience at a scaling SaaS startup in varying roles.

Requirements

• Bonus if you have experience with/in:
  • AI-enabled software development
  • Developer-facing products
  • High scale SaaS platforms
