Job description

We need a Director of Engineering who can take a vague technology request and return a purpose-led system that does exactly, and only, what was asked. The $238,000 - $335,000 is the floor, not the ceiling; with 12 years and technology ownership, this Shopping Solutions LLC role keeps rising.

Key Responsibilities

• Cut C# cold-start times so Shopping Solutions LLC functions wake before CA users notice
• Optimize application performance, latency, and resource utilization at scale
• Support migration of on-premise services to cloud-native architecture
• Identify bottlenecks and propose architectural improvements proactively
• Ship gRPC experiments fast, kill the losers, and double down on what sticks
• Replace the brittle MongoDB hack with a C# solution that survives Hayward scale
• Translate fuzzy product wishes from Shopping Solutions LLC stakeholders into shippable Stakeholder Management services

What You'll Bring

• Practical Unit Testing skills sharpened in a remote setting
• An appetite for ownership that scales with the stakes
• Real Stakeholder Management chops, plus the MongoDB curiosity to keep growing
• A CA work history, or strong reasons you'll thrive here anyway
• Track record that proves you can playfully-serious ship under deadline pressure
• Ownership-driven problem-solving that doesn't wait for permission
• Director fluency in Unit Testing, with MongoDB on your roadmap

Half the technology platforms in CA quietly depend on something Shopping Solutions LLC built in Hayward with tinker-friendly care. Diverse perspectives make our technology work sharper, and we deliberately seek them out.

We back our team with $238,000 - $335,000, equity, top-tier health benefits, and the flexibility to work where you do your best thinking.
