Director of Engineering, Data Platform

Who you are

Beyond the qualifications, we hire through a specific lens. These aren't buzzwords; they're the things we'll actually look for in how you talk about your work.

You're a builder, not a maintainer.

You're most energized when there isn't a clear path yet, and you get to define it. You don't wait for direction; you identify gaps, shape solutions, and drive them forward. At Pendo, great engineering directors don't just manage delivery — they operate as technical owners, setting architectural direction, making cost and reliability tradeoffs visible before they become crises, and building teams that can operate at the same level of ambition.

You're AI-curious — genuinely.

You're not using AI tools occasionally. You're rewiring how you work around them — and you bring that same orientation to your teams. You evaluate emerging tools with sound judgment, separate meaningful shifts from hype, and guide the adoption of AI-assisted and agentic coding practices across the organization in a way that raises the bar rather than creates new risk.
