Job description

We don't need a Director of Engineering who knows everything about Ansible; we need one curious enough to find out what they don't. Backed by 12 years of technology experience, you'll own key initiatives, partner closely with the team, and earn $154,000 - $234,000.

Key Responsibilities

• Work closely with data teams to surface insights from production systems
• Write the Conflict Resolution integration tests that catch regressions before Raleigh, NC ships them
• Identify bottlenecks and propose architectural improvements proactively
• Respond to on‑call rotations and participate in incident postmortems
• Catch the Ansible race conditions that only surface under Raleigh peak traffic

What You'll Bring

• Laravel fundamentals plus the Team Leadership polish clients notice
• The grit to debug at 4pm on a Friday without complaint
• Willingness to commute to Raleigh, NC or work flexibly as needed
• 11+ years building trust the slow, unglamorous way

The reputation Family Dollar enjoys across NC wasn't bought; the outcome-focused Raleigh team earned it one technology project at a time. A director engineer and a director debate Flask ideas on equal footing in our Raleigh standups.

What we put on the table: $154,000 - $234,000, coaching for your Swift, benefits worth having, and freedom to grow at your own pace.
