The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  ViacomCBS is hiring a Director of Engineering in Modesto, CA.

• Role description

  We need a Director of Engineering who can take a vague technology request and return a plainspoken system that does exactly, and only, what was asked. The headline is $196,000 - $291,000, but the story is ownership — technology work you steer at ViacomCBS after just 11 years.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Walk technology stakeholders through Initiative tradeoffs in language ViacomCBS execs grasp
  • Spot the generously-mentoring Django anti-pattern in review before it spreads through ViacomCBS
  • Mentor the director cohort through their first real Initiative on-call at ViacomCBS
  • Deliver director-quality features within the $196,000 - $291,000 Director of Engineering mandate
  • Contribute to sprint planning, estimation, and technology roadmap discussions

  What You'll Bring

  • Flexibility to adapt your approach as business needs evolve
  • Comfort with the part-time cadence of a Modesto-based operation
  • The self-awareness to know which problems are yours to solve
  • Real curiosity about why ViacomCBS customers do what they do

  Trusted by businesses nationwide, ViacomCBS operates a quietly-ambitious technology platform from its Modesto base. We keep the Modesto, CA office quiet on Wednesdays so deep Django work actually gets a fighting chance.

  Our offer to you: $196,000 - $291,000, a mentor, a benefits suite, and the latitude to grow your Scrum into something senior.

  Right now, today, this seat at ViacomCBS is genuinely empty and waiting.
