Director of Engineering

About the Job

As Director of Engineering, you will be the most senior engineering leader on the team, reporting directly to the VP of Product & Engineering. You’ll own the technical health, delivery cadence, and team performance of Splitero’s engineering organization, spanning a Salesforce team, a product engineering team, and QA resources.

You'll lead the execution layer, partnering closely with a Lead Engineer (product) and a Manager of Engineering (Salesforce) who handle day-to-day technical work and team management, respectively. Your focus is on the bigger picture of setting engineering strategy, driving architectural decisions across our stack, managing our external vendor relationships, and acting as the connective tissue between engineering teams. You will drive AI-first engineering practices while ensuring team quality and velocity are monitored and maintained as we scale operations and technical verticals. You'll collaborate closely with product leadership as a genuine thought partner who understands that great technology is built around user problems and business impact, not just tickets in a queue.

At Splitero, we move fast, and the ideal candidate thrives in that environment. You are someone who can bring structure without slowing momentum, understands how to balance the trade-offs between engineering excellence and best-in-class user experiences, and measures success by what ships and what it does for the business.

  • Own delivery accountability across the external and internal engineering teams. Maintaining a unified view of progress, risks, and dependencies.
  • Drive the engineering roadmap in partnership with product, ensuring technical investments align with company objectives.
  • Drive architectural decisions across the full stack: consumer-facing React applications, API layers, Salesforce integrations, and data infrastructure.
  • Optimize and evolve shared processes across internal and external teams: sprint cadences, quality standards, retrospectives, and a single source of truth for delivery status.
• External Team & Vendor Management
  • Own the end-to-end vendor relationship with Splitero's external engineering partners to drive continued improvement while maintaining standards across teams.
  • Further strengthen the integration between contracted teams so all engineers operate as part of Splitero, not apart from it.

  • Foster a culture of engineering excellence, continuous improvement, and constructive accountability.
• Technical Oversight
  • Evaluate and approve architectural proposals from internal and external teams, ensuring consistency, scalability, and maintainability.
  • Own the technical integration layer between Salesforce and the core web platform — data sync patterns, API integrations, and shared infrastructure.
  • Stay current on emerging technologies (particularly AI tooling) and recommend adoption where it improves velocity, quality, or competitive positioning.
  • Ensure compliance with security, data privacy, and regulatory requirements relevant to financial and real estate data.
