Job Description
Director of Engineering
Aiwyn
• Lead the leaders. Coach and develop EMs across infrastructure, foundations, tax engine, implementations, and productivity. Hire when the bar requires it, performance manage when it doesn't, and build a leadership team that can scale. • Own the operating model. Define the rhythms, metrics, and standards that make the org legible and accountable, including cycle planning, change management, design review, incident response, and on-call quality. • Set technical direction. Partner with your engineers, EMs, and anyone else with strong opinions on the multi-year evolution of the tax engine, the ingestion and normalization pipeline, and our core infrastructure on GCP. • Hold the bar on operational excellence. Get us to daily deploys. Push incident response toward root cause. Build the metrics and forums that make execution legible and force the right conversations. • Partner across the company. Work shoulder to shoulder with your peer product leader on platform, with the product engineering org, with support, and with GTM. Earn trust by execution and by making other teams demonstrably better.
Job Requirements
- Manager of managers, ideally for 2+ years. You've led multi-team engineering organizations of 20+ and grown leaders inside them.
- Operational excellence in your blood. You've operated high-availability services and you have a high floor for what's table stakes. You can describe the metrics your last team ran by, what was broken about them when you got there, and what specifically *you* did to move them.
- Lived experience holding people accountable. You've built teams up by setting a real bar and managed people out when it didn't hold. You can describe the timeline of the last person you managed out and what you learned from it.
- Taste and judgment that doesn't get replaced by AI. You have strong opinions about what good looks like in code, in systems, and in operating cadences, and you can defend them. You also know when to disagree and commit.
- AI-native fluency. You use AI tooling daily, you've actively pushed your team to adopt it, and you have a clear point of view on where it helps and where it creates noise. If you're earlier on this curve, you're catching up fast and obviously.
- Strong communicator and partner. You write clearly, hold the room without dominating it, and can turn "no" into "yes, and here's the tradeoff" when you're talking up.
- Bonus: B2B SaaS or regulated environments where reliability, predictability, and trust matter more than novelty. Fintech, accounting, payments, or similar are a strong plus.
Benefits
- Competitive compensation and meaningful equity
- 401(k) matching

Role Description As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll work on the platform that enterprises trust to keep them running through outages, ransomware attacks, and human error. You'll design and build the systems that replicate live cloud environments, keep a low-cost "pilot light" continuously synchronized with production, and execute one-click failover that meets aggressive RTO and RPO targets. This is deep, cloud-native work: - Reasoning about distributed systems, cloud provider APIs, and failure modes. - Backend built in Python and front end in Angular. - Decisions carry real weight with room to own meaningful pieces of the product end to end. - Shape technical direction and grow alongside a company expanding its footprint across cloud providers. Qualifications - 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping and operating production systems. - Hands-on experience building on at least one major cloud provider (AWS or Azure preferred; GCP, Oracle, or others welcome). - Strong fundamentals in distributed systems, concurrency, and the realities of operating software at scale. - A pragmatic, well-tested approach to writing code. - Comfort working close to infrastructure: APIs, networking, and the operational behavior of cloud services. - Strong written and verbal communication skills. Requirements - Design, build, and operate core platform services that replicate and recover complex cloud environments with speed and precision. - Develop and extend Arpio's application-aware orchestration engine, mapping dependencies and recovering entire application stacks. - Work directly against cloud provider APIs (AWS and Azure today), building robust abstractions that absorb their differences and edge cases. - Build for failure: design systems that behave correctly during outages and degraded conditions. - Own features end to end, from design and implementation through testing, deployment, monitoring, and support. - Contribute to the reliability, scalability, and security of a fully-managed SaaS platform. - Raise the engineering bar through thoughtful code review, technical design discussions, and mentorship of other engineers. Benefits - Competitive salary. - Fully employer-paid health benefits; 75% employer-paid dental, vision, and life insurance; and 75% employer coverage for dependents. - For fully remote employees, a $125 home office stipend or $250 company-subsidized co-working membership. - Unlimited PTO. - Small, collaborative team environment. - Opportunity to work on the cutting edge of cloud technology.
