Lead and scale engineering teams to drive high-quality delivery and evolve engineering organization towards AI-first workflows at a high-growth company.
Responsibilities
- We’re looking for a Director of Engineering to lead high-performing teams and drive predictable, high-quality delivery as we scale beyond Series A. This role is critical in evolving our engineering organization from early-stage execution to a more structured, scalable system—without losing speed. You’ll bring experience building and scaling engineering teams in a high-growth environment, while helping us become an AI-first engineering organization—leveraging modern AI tooling and workflows to accelerate development, improve quality, and rethink how software is built.
Conditions
- Competitive salary + equity.
- Healthcare coverage.
- 401k
Other
- Private asset markets (PE, Private Credit, VC, Real Estate) have 10x to 9.8T in AUM over the past decade and are projected to grow to $17T in the next five years. However, digital infrastructure has not kept pace, with most of the market operating predominantly in error-prone, internal-only software solutions.
- PactFi provides secure, end-to-end, operational infrastructure for managing complex private credit transactions. Our web-based application brings together all parties involved in such a transaction to more efficiently allocate capital, complete KYC, share documents, manage funds flow, and more. The platform is secured to a bank-grade standard, and we have received our SOC 2 Type 2 attestation.
- PactFi was developed in close partnership with two of the industry's largest players, both of whom represent the top 3 players in the private credit space by both size (AUM) and deal activity.

- Stage-Specific Experience (Critical) - Experience scaling an engineering org from Series A through growth - Experience growing from few teams to multiple teams/org layers - Ability to introduce structure without over-engineering - Experience transitioning to distributed ownership Experience - 8+ years software engineering - 3+ years leadership (including managing managers) - Proven track record in high-growth environments Leadership & Execution - Strong operator with consistent delivery - Experience building teams, not just inheriting - Strong judgment on process vs speed - Ability to manage increasing complexity AI & Modern Engineering Mindset - Experience integrating tools that measurably improve productivity - Practical understanding of AI-assisted development tools in productio
- - Engineering scales into a predictable multi-team system - Teams deliver consistently without heavy process - AI workflows measurably improve velocity, quality, or efficiency - Strong leadership bench develops - Clear ownership and improved velocity
- We’re at a pivotal stage of growth. The systems and teams we build now will define how we scale over the next several years. This role will shape how we deliver and how we build in an AI-native world.
