The Role and What You’ll Do:

We are looking for a Director of Engineering to lead our web and mobile pillar teams in the On Location/IMG Events Technology group. As the front-end lead, you will be responsible for driving the organization forward and bring best practices and patterns, cohesion, unification, and maturation to front-end efforts, approaches, and delivery.

Core Responsibilities Include (But Are Not Limited To):

Effectively and actively managing a team of web and mobile engineers
Working closely with the SVP of Engineering as well as with engineering leads in DevOps, TechOps, QA, and Architecture to identify (a) opportunities to improve and/or streamline technical operations and ways of working, and (b) potential tools and technologies that can elevate the engineering team's agility, efficiency, and productivity
Collaborating extensively with product managers, designers, data specialists, and engineers on a day-to-day basis
 Overseeing successful implementation, delivery, and technical operation of apps (web and mobile)
Helping deliver on key strategic priorities and initiatives (both external and internal)
Ongoing management and prioritization of features, tech debt, and defects
Helping mature how web and mobile apps are designed, architected, and delivered from a security perspective (i.e., helping activate our shift-left model)

You Have These:

Ability to take large, ambiguous problems and requirements, break them down into actionable, manageable, measurable efforts, and establish both project and resource and capacity plans to accomplish them
Highly effective communication skills (both written and verbal) with both technical and non-technical audiences
Strong ability to serve as a liaison between technical and non-technical teams and stakeholders, and be able to concisely and effectively articulate both functional and non-functional requirements to either group
Demonstrated, proven experience delivering, supporting, and operating complex solutions using a variety of front-end tools and technologies, libraries, frameworks, paradigms, and patterns
Experience building and deploying performant applications and software that have i18n and l10n factored into the UX and UI
Experience successfully building, deploying, and operating mobile apps against both the App Store and Google Play
12-15 years of professional experience, with a large majority of that experience based on actual hands-on skills with application/software development
Experience working across the entire SDLC and STLC against some flavor(s) of Agile methodology
Leadership capabilities, whether as an effective line manager and/or as a tech lead

  We’d Love If You Also Have These: 

Experience with React, React Native, Next.js
Experience with Vercel, Contentful, BrowserStack, GitHub Actions, Figma, Firebase
Experience with APIs (designing and building, not just consuming)
