Director of Engineering, Product

About the Role

Lead and scale multiple product engineering squads at a mission-driven education technology company focused on tools for K-12 school scheduling. Reporting to the CTO, you will guide product engineering priorities and technical decisions while staying hands-on as the organization grows.

What You'll Do

• Own delivery across multiple product squads focused on scheduling, reporting and visibility, and elementary school experiences.

• Contribute code, review work, and pair with engineers, initially spending about half your time hands-on.

• Make and communicate architecture decisions that support a robust, scalable platform.

• Partner with product and other cross-functional teams to align engineering priorities with business outcomes.

• Deliver high-value product features ahead of the school scheduling season, including AI-powered capabilities.

• Scale teams and, over time, shift toward a primarily leadership-focused role.

What We're Looking For

• 5 or more years of engineering experience and 3 or more years in engineering management, including management across multiple teams.

• Experience scaling engineering teams, managing other managers, and owning product or business outcomes.

• Strong backend architecture and design skills, with the ability to assess trade-offs and remain hands-on.

• Experience with TypeScript or Python, AWS, and MongoDB; familiarity with React is useful.

• Background in K-12 education technology or related learning and teaching fields, ideally with experience in mission-driven education initiatives.

• Comfort working in a high-growth environment, aligning technical decisions with business goals, and learning and applying AI.

• Ability to travel for occasional company retreats and business needs.
