You'll lead 3–4 teams building agentic capabilities, automation, and insights that turn manual operational work into product. You'll set technical direction, raise the engineering bar, and partner closely with Product, Operations to ship outcomes that customers feel.\nThis is both hands-on-the-keyboard, hands-on-the-strategy role for a leader who has shipped real AI into production, not slideware, and who knows the difference between a demo and a system that large number of enterprise users depend on at 9am Monday.\nWhat you'll do\nLead the org. Manage and grow 3–4 engineering teams across the product line. Hire, coach, and develop managers and senior ICs.\nSet technical direction. Own architecture, delivery priorities, and engineering standards across your teams. Make the trade-offs that matter, build vs. buy, speed vs. reliability, automation vs. headcount.\nBuild with AI, not around it. Ship production-grade AI agents, RAG systems, workflow orchestration, and tool-calling capabilities. Drive measurable reduction in manual work and meaningful lift in operational accuracy.\nTurn operations into product. Partner with Product, Operations to convert recurring operational pain into reusable platform capabilities, anomaly detection, intelligent reporting, decision support, automated workflows.\nRaise the engineering bar. Drive excellence across architecture, code quality, testing, CI/CD, observability, security, and release management. Improve delivery predictability and platform reliability quarter over quarter.\nUse data as a product asset. Mine platform data for risk signals, efficiency gaps, and product opportunities. Make data-driven prioritization the default, not the exception.\nPlan capacity, ruthlessly. Balance roadmap delivery, automation investment, technical debt paydown, and innovation across teams. Defend the long-term while shipping the quarter.\nBuild the culture. Establish clear ownership, high standards, and a high-performance, low-drama team culture. Develop the next layer of engineering leaders under you.\nWhat you'll bring\n10+ years of engineering experience, including 5+ years leading engineering teams (managers reporting to you is a plus).\nTrack record of leading teams that built and scaled enterprise SaaS platforms, VMS, workforce management, procurement, FinOps, HR Tech, or workflow automation.\nPractical, production experience with AI agents, GenAI, RAG, agent orchestration, tool-calling, and AI evaluation. You've shipped this in front of real users, not just prototyped it.\nStrong fluency in cloud platforms (AWS), microservices, APIs, event-driven systems, DevOps, and observability.\nDemonstrated ability to improve engineering quality, delivery predictability, platform stability, and team performance and the metrics to prove it.\nStrong product mindset. You connect technology decisions to customer value and business outcomes, and you push back when the math doesn't work.\nA track record of hiring, developing, and retaining strong engineering talent, including managers.\nNice to have\nDomain depth in worker engagement, vendor/staffing operations, or enterprise workflow automation.\nExperience shipping analytics, dashboards, anomaly detection, recommendation engines, or conversational insights at scale.\nExperience operating global, multi-region platforms across diverse customer segments.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3584,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":5,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-01T21:23:11Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":14,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.504,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":103,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-12T06:55:09Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/prounlimited-director-engineering","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/prounlimited-director-engineering.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-13T00:59:44Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1450,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2546289},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2546289"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fprounlimited-director-engineering"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fprounlimited-director-engineering"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fprounlimited-director-engineering"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/prounlimited-director-engineering\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fprounlimited-director-engineering"}]}
