• Role description

  Picture a Director of Engineering role where Django expertise is the floor, not the ceiling, and ScaleTech in Lancaster, CA is building exactly that. Think of it less as a job and more as a $191,000 - $303,000 bet ScaleTech is placing on your 11 years and your judgment.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Build the Python tooling that makes every other Lancaster engineer faster
  • Read the Vue.js stack traces others skim past, and trace bugs to their root
  • Watch Cypress error budgets and pump the brakes before Lancaster, CA burns through them
  • Catch the C# race conditions that only surface under Lancaster peak traffic
  • Re-architect the technology flow so Change Management handles ten times Lancaster's current load

  What You'll Bring

  • The diplomacy to align stakeholders who don't agree yet
  • Director mastery of Prioritization, validated by people who'd hire you again
  • Pattern recognition earned across many technology engagements
  • Ability to learn new technology systems quickly and apply them effectively
  • A team player who lifts up colleagues and shares credit
  • Proven follow-through, measured in shipped things rather than good intentions
  • Sharp written and verbal communication, tested under scrutiny

  ScaleTech is a relentlessly curious Lancaster, CA company born from the belief that technology tools should respect the people using them. Ownership at ScaleTech means you fix the broken thing even when nobody assigned it to you.
