What they need


  • We are hiring a Director of Software Development to lead a team of 10 engineers building and scaling our Node.js and Salesforce-integrated products
  • This is a hands-on leadership role for a technical architect at heart who can compress delivery schedules, drive developer velocity, and own the performance of the overall solution
  • You will be the single point of accountability for turning our roadmap into shipped software—on time, at quality, and at scale
  • Lead, coach, and grow a team of 10 full-stack developers across Node.js services and Salesforce customizations
  • Drive measurable improvements in developer velocity using DORA metrics: lead time, deployment frequency, change failure rate, and MTTR
  • Compress delivery schedules by breaking epics into small, independently shippable slices and challenging inflated estimates with data
  • Architect end-to-end solutions spanning Node.js microservices, APIs, event-driven patterns, and Salesforce (Apex, Lightning, integrations)
  • Own solution performance: latency, throughput, scalability, and cost—set SLOs and hold the team accountable to them
  • Establish estimation, sprint, and release discipline; remove blockers; enforce accountability without burning the team out
  • Partner with Product, QA, and Infrastructure to align roadmap, capacity, and dependencies
  • Recruit, onboard, and performance-manage engineers; build a culture of ownership and speed
  • Success Metrics (First 6–12 Months):
  • Reduce average lead time for changes and increase deployment frequency to meet DORA “high” or “elite” benchmarks
  • Ship the current roadmap on a compressed timeline agreed with leadership
  • Improve estimate accuracy (commit vs. deliver) to within an agreed tolerance
  • Meet or exceed performance SLOs for the Node.js + Salesforce solution stack
  • Retain and level-up the existing team while filling any skill gaps- Working knowledge of the Salesforce platform—Apex, Lightning Web Components, Flows, REST/Platform Events, and Node.js↔Salesforce integration patterns
  • Deep, current hands-on experience with Node.js (Express/Nest, async patterns, performance tuning, microservices)
  • Proven technical architect background: designed distributed systems, API contracts, data models, and performance-critical solutions in production
  • 10+ years in software engineering with 5+ years leading development teams of 8–20 engineers
  • Track record of schedule compression—case studies where you measurably reduced cycle time or pulled in release dates without sacrificing quality
  • Experience driving solution performance: profiling, caching, query optimization, horizontal scaling, and observability (APM, logs, traces)
  • Excellent stakeholder communication—can negotiate scope vs. time vs. quality with executives
  • Strong estimation and planning discipline in Agile/Scrum or Kanban environments
  • Cloud-native delivery experience (AWS preferred) with CI/CD, IaC, and modern DevOps practices
