Director of Software Engineering (US)

About The Role

We are hiring a Director of Software Development to lead a team of 10 engineers building and scaling our Node.js and Salesforce-integrated products. This is a hands-on leadership role for a technical architect at heart who can compress delivery schedules, drive developer velocity, and own the performance of the overall solution. You will be the single point of accountability for turning our roadmap into shipped software—on time, at quality, and at scale.

Requirements

• 10+ years in software engineering with 5+ years leading development teams of 8-20 engineers
• Deep, current hands-on experience with Node.js (Express/Nest, async patterns, performance tuning, microservices)
• Working knowledge of the Salesforce platform—Apex, Lightning Web Components, Flows, REST/Platform Events, and Node.js↔Salesforce integration patterns
• Proven technical architect background: designed distributed systems, API contracts, data models, and performance-critical solutions in production
• Track record of schedule compression—case studies where you measurably reduced cycle time or pulled in release dates without sacrificing quality
• Strong estimation and planning discipline in Agile/Scrum or Kanban environments
• Experience driving solution performance: profiling, caching, query optimization, horizontal scaling, and observability (APM, logs, traces)
• Cloud-native delivery experience (AWS preferred) with CI/CD, IaC, and modern DevOps practices
• Excellent stakeholder communication—can negotiate scope vs. time vs. quality with executives
