The Role

The Director of Engineering we're hiring will inherit a technology codebase with good bones and a few skeletons; Social Solutions Corp is honest about both. Social Solutions Corp frames it as a partnership — $184,000 - $254,000 for your 12 years, ownership of technology work, and growth shared both ways.

Key Responsibilities

  • Watch GraphQL error budgets and pump the brakes before Colorado Springs, CO burns through them
  • Build the Java tooling that makes every other Colorado Springs engineer faster
  • Build Active Listening dashboards so Social Solutions Corp's technology team stops asking engineers for numbers
  • Resurrect flaky Active Listening tests until the Colorado Springs, CO suite is trustworthy again
  • Respond to on-call rotations and participate in incident postmortems

What You'll Bring

  • An eye for the collaborative detail that separates fine from finished
  • A collaborator who makes the director review feel less like an exam
  • Demonstrated Java expertise in a fast-moving technology environment
  • Experience translating Ansible complexity for a non-technical audience
  • Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Comfortable owning projects from concept through delivery
  • A collaborator's reflex to share credit and absorb blame

From our Colorado Springs, CO office, Social Solutions Corp ships fun-loving products used by companies large and small. Disagreement is welcome here, but once we decide, the whole Social Solutions Corp team rows in the same direction.

Here you earn $184,000 - $254,000 while a dedicated mentor helps you grow from director into ownership, all wrapped in benefits worth keeping.

Live and listening, the hiring team reads new applications as they arrive.
