This group will include several cross-functional teams focused on Ruby on Rails, ReactJS, and mobile application development. Your direct reports will be the engineering managers for those teams.You will report to the VP of Engineering.
One of your primary concerns will be ensuring smooth execution of complex deliverables. To that end, you will focus on ensuring that we continually evaluate and refine our development/infrastructure standards and processes to create technology that will deliver sustained value to the business. You are responsible for maintaining a high performance, high velocity organization, measuring and iterating on processes as we grow and evolve as a business. You will be the leader for recruiting, headcount management and planning, career growth, and training for your part of the organization. As necessary, you will manage vendor relationships and participate in the budgeting process.
As an engineering director you are responsible for the organization’s overall technical competence, guiding and growing that competence in the whole team as necessary via training and hiring. You will not be generally expected to write code on a day-to-day basis; however, you should have a strong technical background and spend some of your time researching new technologies and staying abreast of trends in the tech industry. You will be expected to help debug and triage critical systems, and should understand the systems you oversee well enough to perform code reviews and help research problems as needed. You should contribute to the architecture and design efforts primarily by working with staff engineers to guide our technical design process and serving as the technically-savvy voice that asks business and product questions of the engineers on your teams, ensuring that the code we are writing matches the product and business needs and can scale appropriately as those needs grow.
Your impact will reach across multiple areas of the technology organization. You are responsible for creating and growing the next generation of leadership and management talent in the organization, helping that talent learn how to balance technical and people leadership and management. You should be obsessed with creating high-functioning, engaged and motivated organizations, and you are expected to own retention goals in your organization. Additionally you are responsible for strategically balancing immediate and long-term product/business focused work with technical debt and strategic technical development.
As an Engineering Director you are a strong leader, and set the example for cross-functional collaboration both between technology and other areas of the company, and across divisions of technology. The goal of this collaboration is to create both a strategic and tactical tech roadmap that tackles both business needs, efficiencies and revenue as well as fundamental technology innovation. You are also an excellent communicator and can simplify technical concepts in a way to explain them to non-technical partners, and take business direction and explain it to the technology team in a way that inspires and guides them. You will help to create a positive public presence for HopSkipDrive tech and are capable of selling the company and their area to potential candidates. Due to your breadth of exposure to both technology and the business drivers, you are responsible for guiding the quarterly planning process for all of the teams in your organization, helping these teams articulate goals that support both business initiatives and technology and organizational quality.
