Director of Engineering

Our managed service programs handle contingent labor for large employers across multiple sites. Most internal hires started as recruiters and moved up.

About the role

Midwest Workforce is looking for a Director of Engineering to join a small, steady team. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in the US. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. Day-to-day communication is in Slack and Google Meet.

What you'll do

• Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback.
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.
• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana.
• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic.
• Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk.
• Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed.

Required qualifications

• 10+ years of professional software development experience.
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests.
• Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure.
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design.
• Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript.
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers.
• Familiarity with Git, pull request workflows and CI tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or CircleCI.

Salary: $275,000 to $365,000 per year
