Director of Software Engineering Job at Corporate Tools (Dallas)

Job Description

Corporate Tools is hiring a hands on Director of Software Engineering in Dallas, TX. You will be a traditional company employee. This role is remote for now, but we like to keep things flexible. There may be times when we’ll ask you to come into the office, think of it as an occasional change of scenery. You’ll be working 40 hours a week and, of course, enjoy great company benefits. At this level, leadership isn’t about sitting in meetings all day or collecting status updates like trading cards. You’ll be hands on while steering the ship and still being willing to grab an oar when needed. You’ll shape technical direction, help teams navigate big decisions, and keep an eye on where we’re headed six months from now, while also being ready to jump into whatever unexpectedly became today’s highest priority. (Because priorities change. Sometimes before your second cup of coffee.) We’re looking for someone who enjoys operating at both 30,000 feet and ground level without needing a dramatic transition between the two. You won’t just build software, you’ll build the environment that allows great software to happen. That means developing leaders, mentoring engineers, removing obstacles before they turn into headaches, and creating a culture where people trust each other, challenge each other, and genuinely enjoy working together. You’ll help connect teams, translate big ideas into actionable plans, and keep everyone moving in the same direction without turning into the “process police.”
