Job description

The Director of Engineering we're hiring will inherit a technology codebase with good bones and a few skeletons; CodeCraft Solutions is honest about both. At CodeCraft Solutions, $159,000 - $242,000 buys a director seat, but 12 years of Process Improvement buys you the ownership that comes with it.

Key Responsibilities

• Evaluate and recommend new tools, frameworks, and Ruby libraries
• Ship the Python learning-obsessed rewrite that pays down years of CodeCraft Solutions technical debt
• Own the Collaboration release that Hampton leadership has circled on the calendar
• Translate the metrics-driven Spring Boot outage into fixes that make the next Hampton launch dull
• Work closely with data teams to surface insights from production systems
• Automate build, test, and deployment pipelines for faster release cycles

What You'll Bring

• Familiarity with CodeCraft Solutions-scale workflows, or the appetite to reach them
• The judgment to say no to good ideas at the wrong time
• Proven Communication results, ideally seasoned in Hampton, VA
• Solid Collaboration grounding, plus Spring Boot you can pick up on the fly
• Roughly 10+ years operating in a similar Director of Engineering position
• Willingness to commute to Hampton, VA or work flexibly as needed
• The reliability that lets a manager stop checking in

A no-ego startup out of Hampton, CodeCraft Solutions is rethinking what technology software can be. You won't find performance theater here; we care what you shipped, not how busy you looked.

This director role pays $159,000 - $242,000 and surrounds it with coaching, coverage, and hours that respect your weekends in VA.

Nothing stale here: the Director of Engineering slot was re-confirmed open earlier today.
