At Flosum, we are building the world's best software for the modern enterprise. Our team is passionate about crafting elegant, high-performance products that delight our customers and set a new bar for engineering excellence. We combine deep expertise in cloud-native development with a relentless focus on quality, speed, and innovation. Every line of code we ship is built to scale, built to last, and built to make a real difference for the businesses that rely on us.
We are hiring a Director of Software Development to lead a team of 10 engineers building and scaling our Node.js and Salesforce-integrated products. This is a hands-on leadership role for a technical architect at heart who can compress delivery schedules, drive developer velocity, and own the performance of the overall solution. You will be the single point of accountability for turning our roadmap into shipped software—on time, at quality, and at scale.
- Lead, coach, and grow a team of 10 full-stack developers across Node.js services and Salesforce customizations.
- Drive measurable improvements in developer velocity using DORA metrics: lead time, deployment frequency, change failure rate, and MTTR.
- Compress delivery schedules by breaking epics into small, independently shippable slices and challenging inflated estimates with data.
- Own solution performance: latency, throughput, scalability, and cost—set SLOs and hold the team accountable to them.
- Recruit, onboard, and performance-manage engineers; 10+ years in software engineering with 5+ years leading development teams of 8–20 engineers.
- Proven technical architect background: designed distributed systems, API contracts, data models, and performance-critical solutions in production.
- Track record of schedule compression—case studies where you measurably reduced cycle time or pulled in release dates without sacrificing quality.
- Strong estimation and planning discipline in Agile/Scrum or Kanban environments.
- Experience driving solution performance: profiling, caching, query optimization, horizontal scaling, and observability (APM, logs, traces).
- Cloud-native delivery experience (AWS preferred) with CI/CD, IaC, and modern DevOps practices.
At Flosum, we believe great software is built by great teams—and great teams are built by leaders who care deeply about both the craft and the people. You will have the autonomy, the talent, and the mandate to build something exceptional. If you want to lead a team that is setting the standard for what world-class software looks like, we want to talk to you.
