The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  ByteForge Labs is hiring a Director of Engineering in Camden, NJ.

• Role description

  Our technology team is growing, and we want a Director of Engineering who can turn complex requirements into reliable, scalable software. ByteForge Labs frames it as a partnership — $170,000 - $279,000 for your 10 years, ownership of technology work, and growth shared both ways.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Hand off Kotlin runbooks so the next on-call at ByteForge Labs sleeps better
  • Negotiate Nginx tradeoffs with product when ByteForge Labs timelines and reality collide
  • Mentor the director cohort through their first real Spring Boot on-call at ByteForge Labs
  • Ship the scrappy Spring Boot features that move ByteForge Labs's technology roadmap forward
  • Champion engineering excellence and continuous learning within ByteForge Labs
  • Write the Python integration tests that catch regressions before Camden, NJ ships them

  What You'll Bring

  • The composure to deliver bad news early and clearly
  • Written communication clear enough to survive a forwarded email chain
  • Comfort navigating ambiguity when the brief arrives half-written
  • Prior experience working on-site in Camden, NJ, or willingness to relocate
  • Comfort owning the unglamorous middle of an internship project

  Ask anyone in Camden about ByteForge Labs and you'll hear the same thing: a service-minded crew that ships fast and sweats the CI/CD details. Around ByteForge Labs, the loudest voice never automatically wins the technology argument.

  We value work-life balance, so expect $170,000 - $279,000, flexible hours, paid sabbaticals, and a supportive mentoring program.

  We bumped the date today, signaling this Director of Engineering search is ongoing.
