About the role

TransCore is building Smart Mobility, a cloud-native mobility platform that connects tolling and transit through mobile apps. The Director of Software Engineering will lead the Smart Mobility engineering team in Atlanta, Nashville, or Harrisburg, overseeing the entire product delivery process from planning to execution.

Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end delivery, from staffing and sprint execution to release, accountable for shipping the complete product.

  • Bring mobile, backend, integration, and account-management work under one coherent delivery plan.

  • Own release cadence, quality gates, and delivery commitments; surface and resolve risks early.

  • Drive reliability and security, ensuring production reliability operating to defined Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and security standards.

  • Enable and empower the teams, creating conditions for autonomy and clear goals, and support engineers through coaching, mentoring, and performance management.

  • Set the team structure and engineering leads, and coordinate with partner organizations to stand up shared functions like QA/Test Automation and DevOps.

  • Report delivery status, risks, and tradeoffs to senior leadership with clarity and candor.

  • Drive technical leadership, staying close to the code and architecture to make sound tradeoffs and review key decisions, without becoming a bottleneck.

  • Drive code quality, testing, automation, and operational readiness across cloud-native, microservices-based systems.

Requirements

  • Substantial software engineering experience (typically 14+ years), including significant experience leading and managing engineering teams with direct delivery accountability (typically 8+ years).

  • Strong grounding in cloud-native systems (Azure preferred), microservices, event-driven architecture, containerization, .NET/Java frameworks, and API standards.

  • Deep experience leading Agile/Scrum teams across sprint execution, backlog flow, and delivery coordination, partnering with Product, Architecture, Design, QA, DevOps, and hardware engineering.

  • Experience delivering high-availability systems with strong security and compliance discipline, including PCI-DSS.

  • Experience in payments/fintech, hardware/edge familiarity, and mobile delivery.
