We also have physical offices in San Francisco, New York City, Mumbai and Bangalore for employees who prefer to work in an office some or all of the time. ### About your role As the Director, Engineering you will lead the vision and execution for the foundational systems that power our entire engineering organization. Your mandate spans four critical pillars: architecting the modularization of our core Python/FastAPI monolith, accelerating our transition to an AI-native engineering culture, empowering product teams with tools to build AI-enabled features, and establishing a robust Application Security (AppSec) posture. You will manage a group of engineering managers and staff engineers. You will act as a strategic multiplier for the company, treating our internal platform as a top-tier product. Your ultimate goal is to create secure, high-velocity “paved paths” that make our product teams incredibly fast, while systematically reducing technical debt and security risks. ### What you’ll do * Direct the Monolith Evolution: Own the multi-year technical strategy to safely decouple our legacy Python/Jinja monolith into a modern, modular FastAPI architecture using Domain-Driven Design and zero-downtime database migration tactics. * Drive the AI-Native SDLC: Champion the rollout and adoption of AI-assisted coding tools and AI-augmented workflows across the entire engineering organization, systematically measuring and improving developer productivity. * Enable AI Feature Development: Treat the internal platform as a product. Guide the development of intuitive SDKs, data pipelines, and internal tools that reduce cognitive load and allow product engineers to easily integrate LLMs and build AI-powered features. * Lead Application Security (AppSec): Champion a “shift-left” security culture. Embed secure coding practices, automated vulnerability scanning, and threat modeling directly into developer workflows, ensuring our core platform is resilient against modern threats. * Oversee Core Shared Services: Drive the scale, security, and reliability of enterprise-critical systems, including Identity (AuthN/AuthZ, OAuth2, RBAC), Audit Logs, and high-throughput API & MCP Gateways. * Navigate Org-Wide Boundaries: Negotiate complex refactoring timelines with Product leaders and collaborate seamlessly with other Engineering teams and DevOps to align our platform capabilities with infrastructure. * Build a World-Class Organization: Recruit, mentor, and grow a high-performing organization of engineering managers and staff/principal engineers, fostering a culture of architectural pragmatism and deep developer empathy. ### Qualifications * 15+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 5+ years in engineering leadership, including explicitly managing managers and leading multiple teams. * High AI Fluency: Proven experience architecting systems that support AI features (LLMs, RAG, tool calling) and a track record of driving AI-assisted development tools (AI SDLC) across engineering teams. * An executive track record of successfully guiding massive monolith-to-modular migrations and decoupling shared database schemas in high-traffic, business-critical environments. * Deep strategic understanding of Application Security principles, Identity/Access Management (OAuth 2.0, OIDC), and modern API traffic management. * Strong technical fluency in Python and FastAPI ecosystems, with the ability to guide Staff-level engineers through complex architectural decisions involving both modern APIs and legacy applications. * Exceptional executive communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical, security, and AI trade-offs into business value. ### Compensation Compensation for this position includes a base salary, bonus, equity and a variety of benefits. The U.S. base salary range is $230,000 – $285,000 USD. Actual base salaries will be based on candidate-specific factors, including experience, skillset, and location, and local minimum pay requirements as applicable. Benefits include: * Health, dental, and vision care for you and your family * Life insurance * Mental wellness coverage * Fertility and growing family support * Flex Time Off in addition to company-paid holidays * Paid family leave, medical leave, and bereavement leave policies * Retirement saving plans * Allowance to customize your work and technology setup at home * Annual professional development stipend Your recruiter can provide additional details about compensation and benefits.

I would use incremental extraction patterns, compatibility layers, observability, feature flags, and zero-downtime migration practices so teams can validate each step while continuing normal delivery. How would you measure whether AI-assisted development tools are improving engineering productivity? I would define a balanced scorecard that combines adoption and workflow metrics with quality outcomes. Measures could include cycle time, pull-request throughput, developer sentiment, review quality, escaped defects, security findings, and the time required to complete representative engineering tasks; I would avoid relying on code volume alone. What does an effective shift-left AppSec program look like for a platform organization? It embeds security into the paved path rather than creating a late-stage gate. I would prioritize secure defaults in libraries and templates, automated dependency and code scanning, threat modeling for material changes, clear remediation ownership, and risk-based escalation supported by security champions and actionable developer feedback. How would you enable product teams to build AI features safely and consistently? I would treat AI enablement as an internal platform product with well-documented SDKs, approved model access, retrieval and evaluation tooling, identity-aware authorization controls, auditability, and guardrails for data handling. Product teams should be able to use a supported path without each independently solving model routing, observability, security, and prompt evaluation. How do you align platform investments with product leaders when refactoring work competes with feature commitments? I would translate technical investments into product outcomes such as faster delivery, reliability, reduced incident risk, or support for strategic AI capabilities. By publishing a transparent roadmap, defining measurable milestones, and jointly prioritizing constraints and dependencies, platform and product leaders can make explicit trade-offs rather than treating foundational work as invisible overhead.
