Job description

We are hiring a Director of Engineering who can balance speed and stability while shipping software used by millions. For someone 10 years deep in REST API, this Santa Clara job means $247,000 - $374,000, a temporary cadence, and genuine influence.

Key Responsibilities

• Hunt down the latency spikes nobody at Industrial Solutions Corp can explain
• Lead Docker design reviews that catch the costly mistakes before Santa Clara, CA builds them
• Cut REST API cold-start times so Industrial Solutions Corp functions wake before CA users notice
• Reverse-engineer the bias-to-action Professionalism format Industrial Solutions Corp inherited and never documented
• Own the scrappy Webpack subsystem that the rest of Industrial Solutions Corp quietly depends on
• Identify bottlenecks and propose architectural improvements proactively
• Stitch REST API events into the Creativity pipeline feeding Industrial Solutions Corp's technology reports
• Walk technology stakeholders through Webpack tradeoffs in language Industrial Solutions Corp execs grasp

What You'll Bring

• Curiosity and a continuous drive to sharpen your technology craft
• A bias toward asking the dumb question before the expensive mistake
• Comfort being measured against a clear director bar
• An instinct for prioritization when everything is labeled urgent
• Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a tight-knit team
• Willingness to commute to Santa Clara, CA or work flexibly as needed

Industrial Solutions Corp builds mission-soaked technology software that helps teams across Santa Clara, CA move faster and worry less. We look out for one another, and burnout is treated as a problem to solve, not a badge to wear.

Step into $247,000 - $374,000, real mentorship, a benefits package that delivers, and the kind of flexible temporary rhythm people rarely leave.
