Job Description:
Role: Director of Engineering
Are you passionate about new technologies to build innovative
solutions? Catchlight is seeking a dynamic Director of Engineering
to lead our team in developing products using machine learning,
large language models (LLMs), modern web applications, APIs,
microservices, and cloud-native architecture.
Created in Fidelity Labs, Catchlight helps financial advisors grow
their business by focusing on two simple, yet crucial questions:
which prospect should I call next and what might they be interested
in. Catchlight can gather up to 2,000 data points on a prospect.
These data points can lead to insights which highlight specific
needs or interests of a prospect, making it simpler for the advisor
to act, saving time and driving 2-3x improvement in conversion.
In this role, you will be a hands-on player/coach, responsible for
the design, implementation, testing, and delivery of new Catchlight
products and capabilities. You will collaborate closely with
technical leads and product managers to transform ideas from
concepts into production-ready solutions, bringing these
innovations to market.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead the engineering team in designing, developing, and deploying
solutions applying modern web frameworks, machine learning
solutions, data engineering technologies, microservices, and
cloud-native architecture.
Act as a hands-on player/coach, guiding the team through the entire
product development lifecycle, from concept to production.
Collaborate with technical leads and product managers to ensure
alignment of technical solutions with business goals and customer
needs.
Drive the adoption of best practices in software engineering,
including code quality, testing, and continuous
integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD).
Foster a culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous
improvement within the team.
Mentor and develop engineering talent, ensuring the team is
equipped with the skills and knowledge to excel in a fast-paced,
dynamic environment.
Stay abreast of emerging technologies and industry trends and
incorporate them into the development process to maintain a
competitive edge.
Qualifications:
A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, or a related field is
required. Alternatively, substantial experience demonstrating a
strong grasp of system design, technology adoption, data
structures, algorithms, and a broad range of technologies is also
acceptable.
10+ years of experience in software engineering, with a focus on
building B2B and enterprise applications.
Proven experience in leading and managing full stack teams in a
dynamic startup like environment.
Extensive knowledge of modern JavaScript frameworks (e.g., Next.js,
Vue.js), Python, SQL, and RESTful APIs.
Proficiency in designing and implementing microservice
architectures and code-first data pipelines.
Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools.
Proven experience in building and deploying software solutions
using AWS public cloud providers
Experience with Ruby on Rails is highly desirable.
Strong analytical, technical, and problem-solving skills.
Join Catchlight and be part of a fun and collaborative team that is
applying technology to create fintech solutions. If you are a
technical leader with a passion for innovation and a track record
of success, we want to hear from you!
