The Role

If clean APIs give you a small private thrill, the Director of Engineering role at Manufacturing Excellence Inc in Burlington, VT was practically written for you. Few Burlington employers pair $185,000 - $270,000 with this much technology autonomy, and fewer still ask only 11 years to earn it.

Key Responsibilities

  • Turn vague technology tickets into crisp, testable Ruby acceptance criteria
  • Re-architect the technology flow so Go handles ten times Burlington's current load
  • Ship the Linux purpose-led rewrite that pays down years of Manufacturing Excellence Inc technical debt
  • Stand up observability so Manufacturing Excellence Inc sees failures before customers in VT do
  • Pair Problem Solving and Angular in a pipeline Manufacturing Excellence Inc can extend without your help later
  • Pull Laravel telemetry into dashboards Manufacturing Excellence Inc leaders actually open

What You'll Bring

  • An appetite for ownership that scales with the stakes
  • Working familiarity with freelance schedules and team norms at Manufacturing Excellence Inc
  • An employee-centric bias toward action, balanced by knowing when to wait
  • Hands-on command of Laravel, with Growth Mindset as a close second
  • Adaptability and resilience when facing shifting requirements

Inside Manufacturing Excellence Inc's Burlington headquarters, a deadline-driven team treats every Laravel bug like a personal insult worth fixing tonight. We trust the director folks closest to the customer to make the call without a committee.

We back our team with $185,000 - $270,000, equity, top-tier health benefits, and the flexibility to work where you do your best thinking.
