Job description

Our Director of Engineering role in Greensboro, NC is a chance to build Google Cloud infrastructure from a clean slate, which at Production Systems Inc happens rarely and matters enormously. Bring the deeply collaborative energy and 11 years; Production Systems Inc brings $138,000 - $201,000, a Greensboro base, and room to grow into more.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the Initiative migration that finally retires Production Systems Inc's people‑first legacy stack
• Wire up Initiative feature flags so Production Systems Inc can test on Greensboro traffic risk‑free
• Trim Production Systems Inc's cloud bill by right-sizing the gRPC infrastructure in Greensboro, NC
• Own the autonomy‑rich edge cases in Production Systems Inc's Java billing nobody else wants to touch
• Defend Production Systems Inc uptime through the 2 a.m. Greensboro pages nobody volunteers for
• Carry the Node.js platform work that makes Production Systems Inc's next NC expansion boring
• Automate build, test, and deployment pipelines for faster release cycles
• Tune gRPC queries until the NC database stops timing out under load

What You'll Bring

• Demonstrated knack for making the goal‑oriented feel manageable
• Director fluency in Spring Boot, with Swift on your roadmap
• Real proficiency with gRPC, plus willingness to learn Spring Boot fast
• At least 11 years of standing behind your own estimates
• Ability to learn new technology systems quickly and apply them effectively

Production Systems Inc is a transparent Greensboro, NC studio where gRPC gets treated with the seriousness most companies reserve for marketing. We believe the best technology decisions get made closest to the work, not three floors up.

The offer reads $138,000 - $201,000, plus the soft stuff that hard‑wins loyalty: coaching, coverage, and a flexible temporary rhythm.
