Job description

We're opening a temporary Director of Engineering role for an engineer fluent in Swift and allergic to undocumented surprises. A director seat in MA that values Growth Mindset, pays $220,000 - $327,000 for 11 years of it, and hands you the wheel early.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect fault-tolerant distributed systems leveraging Public Speaking and Terraform
• Monitor system health and set up alerting for maker-minded production environments
• Walk technology stakeholders through Swift tradeoffs in language ExxonMobil execs grasp
• Shave milliseconds off the technology hot path that ExxonMobil users feel every click
• Implement secure authentication and authorization flows using Terraform

What You'll Bring

• Strong time-management skills and a bias toward action
• Enough Swift to be dangerous, enough Public Speaking to be trusted
• Comfort owning technology decisions in a MA market
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Sharp organizational skills and an ability to juggle multiple workstreams
• Real Growth Mindset chops, plus the Terraform curiosity to keep growing
• The kind of curiosity that reads the docs before asking

Think of ExxonMobil as the playfully-serious engine behind some of the most trusted technology products on the market. You set the boundaries of your temporary schedule and we respect them without the side-eye.

Step into $220,000 - $327,000, real mentorship, a benefits package that delivers, and the kind of flexible temporary rhythm people rarely leave.

Live and listening, the hiring team reads new applications as they arrive.
