You will partner closely with Product, AI/Data Science, Data Engineering, API, and TechOps leaders to align roadmaps to customer outcomes and scale a primarily full-time engineering organization, augmented by contractors as needed. Culture and collaboration are critical. This leader thrives in a high-trust, low-ego environment and practices true co-ownership with Product, sharing accountability for outcomes end to end. Location matters. Our engineering hub is in Moscow, Idaho, and strong preference is given to candidates willing to travel 1x a month and/or eventually relocate to the area.

Job Responsibility:

  • Own delivery and operational excellence across product and shared platform teams
  • Partner with Product leadership to define shared goals, priorities, and accountability for quality, speed, and customer impact
  • Lead and develop Engineering Directors and Managers through coaching, feedback, career frameworks, and high hiring standards
  • Drive measurable, end-to-end software delivery velocity
  • Lead HCM/HRIS integrations, including APIs, SFTP/flat files, SCIM provisioning, and SSO (SAML/OIDC), in coordination with partners and vendors
  • Apply a disciplined contractor/vendor model, defining externalizable work, quality gates, and knowledge transfer while retaining core IP and architecture in-house
  • Advance SDLC automation best practices, including CI/CD, infrastructure as code, testing, release controls, and progressive delivery
  • Embed AI-assisted development through tooling, governance, standards, and productivity measurement

Requirements:

  • Willingness to relocate to Moscow, ID (highly preferred) and lead primarily in person.
  • Strong culture and collaboration skills
  • proven trust-building across Engineering and Product with shared ownership of outcomes.
  • 10+ years building web-based SaaS products
  • 5+ years leading multi-team engineering orgs (managers of managers), ideally at enterprise scale.
  • Experience leading teams of 20+ engineers, and working with off-shore teams.
  • Deep experience building for enterprise customers, including SSO (SAML/OIDC), RBAC/ABAC, audit logging, compliance, tenant isolation, data governance, and security/procurement workflows.
  • Strong background in data-driven applications (analytics/dashboards), including performance at scale, caching/materialization, data modeling, and metrics correctness.
  • Solid understanding of modern web architectures: React (or equivalent), backend services (Node/Java/Python), and REST/GraphQL APIs
  • strong systems thinking even if not hands-on daily.
  • Proven cloud-native delivery experience (AWS), CI/CD, infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform), and production observability.
  • Track record integrating with HCM/HRIS platforms using SCIM, SSO, webhooks, bulk data exchange, and enterprise security patterns.
  • Ability to design and run an effective engineering operating system: planning, delivery metrics, quality standards, architecture governance, and incident response.
  • Experience scaling teams using a mix of full-time and contract engineers, with strong quality and knowledge-retention practices.
  • Experience driving adoption of AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Copilot-style workflows) with appropriate measurement and guardrails.
  • Excellent written communication across architecture docs, operational runbooks, incident communications, and executive updates.
