Job Description

Director of Development

ClassWallet

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of 10–15 software engineers across multiple experience levels, with a focus on retention, career development, and high performance. • Conduct regular 1:1s, quarterly performance reviews, and individual goal-setting conversations tied to both team goals and personal growth. • Build a strong engineering culture — one that values ownership, continuous learning, problem solving, and accountability. • Partner with HR and recruiting to attract, hire, and onboard top engineering talent. • Address performance issues directly, fairly, and promptly, using structured frameworks and clear documentation. • Own engineering delivery: sprint planning, capacity management, velocity, and predictability across the team. • Remove blockers, manage dependencies, and ensure engineers have what they need to execute without unnecessary friction. • Establish and monitor team health metrics including cycle time, deployment frequency, bug escape rate, and mean time to resolve (MTTR). • Partner with the Director of Architecture on technical direction and ensure your team has the context and resources to execute architectural decisions effectively. • Lead the engineering delivery of AI-powered product features, working closely with Product and Architecture to scope, prioritize, and ship AI capabilities that create real user value. • Ensure your team has the skills, tooling, and processes to build and maintain AI/ML-integrated features on the ClassWallet platform — including LLM integrations, intelligent automation, and data-driven workflows. • Maintain a working understanding of AI product development patterns (prompt engineering, RAG, API integration, model evaluation) sufficient to make informed scoping and build-vs-buy decisions. • Champion the adoption of AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, AI-powered testing and code review) across the engineering team. • Establish best practices and guardrails for responsible AI tool usage — including code quality standards, security review, and IP considerations. • Identify and implement AI-driven process improvements across the SDLC: automated testing, intelligent CI/CD, documentation generation, and developer productivity tooling. • Track and report on AI tooling ROI in terms of developer velocity, code quality, and team satisfaction. • Represent engineering capacity, constraints, and delivery reality in the roadmap planning process alongside the Directors of Operations, Product, and Architecture. • Contribute to the 12-month technical roadmap with a clear view of team capabilities, hiring plans, and execution sequencing. • Present roadmap progress and engineering metrics to senior leadership in a business-outcome context — not just technical output. • Maintain a living risk register and proactively surface delivery risks before they become problems.

Job Requirements

  • 10+ years of professional software development experience, with at least 5 years in an engineering leadership role (engineering manager, senior manager, or director).
  • Demonstrated success leading and growing a team of engineers, including full-cycle ownership of hiring, onboarding, performance management, and career development.
  • Proven track record of delivering complex software projects on time and at scale in an Agile environment, including managing cross-functional dependencies with Product and Design.
  • Experience owning engineering delivery metrics (cycle time, deployment frequency, MTTR) and presenting results to senior leadership in a business-outcome context.
  • Direct experience building or contributing to a multi-year technical roadmap, including capacity planning, prioritization tradeoffs, and risk management.
  • A clear, demonstrated point of view on how AI is changing software development — with a track record of piloting, adopting, or scaling AI tooling or AI-powered features on a team.
  • Experience working in a regulated industry or with compliance-sensitive systems where security, auditability, and data privacy are first-class concerns.
  • Professional proficiency in JavaScript and/or Python at a level sufficient to review code, evaluate architectural decisions, and meaningfully engage in technical design discussions.
  • Working knowledge of Node.js, React.js, Next.js, and NestJS — understanding how these fit together in a modern full-stack architecture and where their tradeoffs lie.
  • Solid understanding of relational database design and query optimization using MS SQL Server and/or MySQL.
  • Working knowledge of NoSQL data modeling with MongoDB, including appropriate use cases vs. relational alternatives.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS — including core services (EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, ECS/EKS) and a working understanding of cloud cost management, security groups, and IAM best practices.
  • Experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) in production environments.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipeline design and tooling (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI) and the ability to evaluate and improve pipeline health.
  • Deep familiarity with Agile methodologies and the ability to coach a team on sprint planning, estimation, retrospectives, and continuous improvement.
  • Strong command of version control workflows (Git), branching strategies, and code review standards.
  • Working knowledge of system design principles: scalability patterns, service decomposition, API design, caching strategies, and fault tolerance.
  • Practical understanding of application security fundamentals: OWASP Top 10, secrets management, data encryption, and secure SDLC practices.
  • Demonstrable familiarity with AI-assisted developer tooling (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or equivalent) and the ability to evaluate, govern, and scale their use across a team.
  • Working knowledge of AI/ML integration patterns — including LLM API integration, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and model evaluation — sufficient to make informed build-vs-buy decisions and scope engineering efforts.
  • Awareness of responsible AI practices including data privacy, bias considerations, and IP/compliance implications of AI-generated code and content.

Benefits

  • ClassWallet is a positive, family-oriented team environment. Our focus is on encouragement, positive reinforcement, and gratitude. We work hard and are highly motivated to win but with a healthy perspective on life.
  • We offer an excellent salary and benefits commensurate with experience.
