Director of Engineering, Agentic Workflows

Director of Engineering, Agentic Workflows

Red Ventures Home helps partners across the home services ecosystem—telecom, security, energy, and home automation—drive sustainable growth through proprietary distribution, advanced data models, and AI-enabled digital solutions.

We're seeking a Director of Engineering to lead our Central AI Engineering team. This role is focused on transforming how we deliver software—driving adoption of agentic workflows, accelerators, and AI-first engineering practices that fundamentally change delivery speed, quality, and team effectiveness across our organization.

You'll lead an internal platform team whose primary customers are our client delivery teams. You own both the systems that enable delivery and the adoption that makes them successful. This requires technical depth, people leadership, influential communication, and the ability to build compelling investment cases for technology initiatives across a matrixed organization.

The ideal candidate is intellectually curious and continuously experimenting with new AI capabilities, often building side prototypes or exploring emerging tools to understand what is possible.

What You’ll Do

Transform Delivery Through Agentic Workflows

• Lead adoption of agentic workflows and AI-first delivery models across client delivery teams
• Build shared services, accelerators, and reusable patterns that materially reduce delivery timelines
• Measure and continuously improve delivery efficiency, quality, and consistency
• Ensure agentic systems are reliable, maintainable, and applied with clear leverage
• Define and scale AI-assisted development practices (Cursor, Windsurf, agent frameworks)
• Partner closely with delivery teams to understand friction points and build solutions that drive adoption

Build Investment Cases & Drive Strategic Alignment

• Develop compelling business cases for technology investments in agentic systems and AI infrastructure
• Quantify impact through metrics like delivery time reduction, quality improvements, and team velocity gains
• Communicate technical strategy and ROI to senior leadership and stakeholders
• Influence resource allocation and prioritization across competing initiatives
• Translate technical capabilities into business value that resonates with non-technical audiences

Provide Technical & Architectural Leadership

• Set architectural direction for agentic systems, accelerators, and shared AI services
• Ensure systems are modular, secure, observable, and production-ready
• Uphold strong engineering discipline while balancing innovation and pragmatism
• Provide hands-on guidance to Senior and Staff engineers when needed
• Define standards across Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, testing, CI/CD, and MLOps

Build and Scale the Team

• Hire, develop, and retain AI engineers
• Set clear expectations, career paths, and growth plans
• Foster a culture of accountability, curiosity, experimentation, and delivery
• Coach teams to operate effectively in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
• Build a team that thinks like internal entrepreneurs; focused on customer (delivery team) adoption and impact

Lead Cross-Functionally

• Act as a trusted partner to delivery teams, Product, Design, and Data leadership
• Translate business strategy into executable technical plans
• Communicate tradeoffs, progress, and impact to senior leaders with clarity and conviction
• Influence effectively in a matrixed organization where adoption matters as much as technical execution
