Job description

We're growing the technology group at InnovateTech Lab and need a Director of Engineering who treats reliability as a feature, not an afterthought. The technology charter, the $154,000 - $224,000, the 10-year ask — all of it points to an InnovateTech Lab role built for owners, not order-takers.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain RESTful APIs powering core InnovateTech Lab products
• Question the purpose-led Docker pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner
• Drive adoption of best practices in testing, security, and observability
• Wire gRPC APIs to Jest consumers so data lands where Raleigh teams expect it
• Shave milliseconds off the technology hot path that InnovateTech Lab users feel every click

What You'll Bring

• A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat
• Critical thinking skills and sound, independent judgment
• A Raleigh network, or the hustle to build one from scratch
• The instinct to ask "what would change your mind?" before debating
• Demonstrated knack for making the high-trust feel manageable
• A communication style that translates jargon back into plain English

From its base in Raleigh, NC, InnovateTech Lab has spent the last decade making Swift dramatically less painful for technology teams everywhere. We swap gRPC and Jest tips over lunch because nobody here pretends to know it all.

Yours for the taking: $154,000 - $224,000, a mentor, a benefits plan, and the room to grow your Customer Service and Flexibility side by side.

The InnovateTech Lab team is scaling in Raleigh, NC, and we are hiring for it now.
