Director of Software Engineering

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Poland.

📋 Description

• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of 10 full-stack developers specializing in Node.js services and Salesforce customizations.

• Propel measurable enhancements in developer productivity utilizing DORA metrics: lead time, deployment frequency, change failure rate, and MTTR.

• Streamline delivery timelines by breaking down epics into smaller, independently shippable segments and questioning inflated estimates with data.

• Design comprehensive solutions that encompass Node.js microservices, APIs, event-driven architectures, and Salesforce (Apex, Lightning, integrations).

• Take ownership of solution performance metrics: latency, throughput, scalability, and cost—set SLOs and ensure the team adheres to them.

• Establish solid estimation, sprint, and release processes; eliminate obstacles; ensure accountability without overburdening the team.

• Collaborate with Product, QA, and Infrastructure teams to synchronize roadmap, capacity, and dependencies.

• Recruit, onboard, and manage the performance of engineers; foster a culture of ownership and agility.

⛳️ Requirements

• Over 10 years of experience in software engineering, including 5+ years of leading development teams comprising 8 to 20 engineers.

• Profound, up-to-date hands-on expertise with **Node.js** (Express/Nest, asynchronous patterns, performance optimization, microservices).

• Familiarity with the **Salesforce** platform—Apex, Lightning Web Components, Flows, REST/Platform Events, and Node.js↔Salesforce integration strategies.

• Established background as a **technical architect**: designing distributed systems, API contracts, data models, and performance-critical solutions in production settings.

• Proven history of **schedule compression**—demonstrated cases where you substantially reduced cycle times or advanced release dates without compromising quality.

• Strong capabilities in estimation and planning within Agile/Scrum or Kanban frameworks.

• Experience enhancing **solution performance**: profiling, caching, query optimization, horizontal scaling, and observability (APM, logs, traces).

• Experience with cloud-native delivery (preferably AWS) utilizing CI/CD, IaC, and contemporary DevOps methodologies.
