Technical Director

What is the opportunity? We are looking for a Technical Director who lives at the intersection of high-level strategy and deep-stack execution. You aren't here to just manage tickets or delegate from the sidelines — you are here to get your hands dirty alongside the team, partner with the Principal of Engineering to define our tech stack, mentor a team of high-performers, and serve as the "Technical North Star" for our most ambitious clients. What will you achieve? Architecture Ownership: Take full, hands-on ownership of the end-to-end architecture for key client products, ensuring 100% alignment with security and scalability best practices — and writing code when it matters. Team Evolution: Establish a mentorship framework that results in measurable skill growth for your direct reports, specifically in Next.js and Cloud Native architecture — leading by example, not just by instruction. Client Strategy: Successfully lead three "Innovation Roadmaps" for clients, translating complex business needs into technical blueprints that you help the engineering team execute — not just hand off. Technical Excellence: Act as the final point of escalation, rolling up your sleeves to ensure all technical debt is managed and all production issues are resolved within client SLAs. What do you need for this role? The Foundation: You've spent at least 7 years actively building in backend development — not just overseeing it — and 5+ years mastering architecture patterns (Microservices, SOA). The
