The Role
Our platform processes enormous volumes of data, and we need a Director of Engineering who can keep it fast and resilient. What sets the offer apart is trust — $237,000 - $347,000 and remote hours are nice, but the technology ownership is the headline.
Key Responsibilities
- Break large technology initiatives into Next.js increments Waipahu can actually deliver
- Harden KFC's React auth so the HI audit comes back clean
- Negotiate React tradeoffs with product when KFC timelines and reality collide
- Respond to on-call rotations and participate in incident postmortems
- Pair Go and Laravel in a pipeline KFC can extend without your help later
- Stress-test Time Management systems until they bend, then harden where they cracked
- Drive adoption of best practices in testing, security, and observability
- Build responsive, accessible front-end interfaces with Next.js
What You'll Bring
- The composure to deliver bad news early and clearly
- Ruby on Rails fundamentals plus the Go polish clients notice
- A keen eye for quality and consistency in your output
- Comfort being the newest person in the room and the loudest in the notes
- Solid understanding of technology best practices and industry standards
