Corporate Tools LLC
Director of Software Engineering
Corporate Tools LLC, Salt Lake City, Utah, United States, 84193
We need an amazing engineer. Is that you?
People who fit in here are rare, unique, passionate, competitive, crazy street smart, adaptive, and overall fun to spend a day with while building wild products to fight off the corporate soulless robots.
Who are we?
A debt‑free company that has built its way to the top of our industry, on the back of software we created and continue to maintain inhouse.
Who are you?
A space wrangler with hardcore tech skills and an affinity for open source. But you also really enjoy mentoring and supporting other engineers when it comes to technical leadership to tackle the most impactful projects across the organization.
At Corporate Tools, we have a lot of specialists. These specialists are organized by products they serve and form a variety of functions like:
DevOps
QA
Fullstack
Missing: Amazing Engineering Director
Up to $200,000/year DOE + relocation package.
Work from home comfort package & equipment
6% 401k employer matching
Maternity and paternity leave
Impact 1000+ employees and millions of customers
Employer‑paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
Flexible work hours and scheduling
You can show a lot of screwups you’ve had and how you’ve pivoted on large scale applications
You can show how you’ve developed incredible managers
You can create precise visions and strategies and actually execute against them
You have 7+ years’ experience with software development and engineering (Ruby preferred)
5+ years’ experience managing and developing dev teams of 15-30 engineers and support
You have Experience in SAAS or a subscription model with a digital product
When we say product you’re not thinking hair gel
Understanding of cloud (AWS) architectures and design patterns
Sometimes you love a plan, sometimes you love that there isn’t one
You’re amazing at communicating but also the true technical lead with all things engineering
We compete against soulless, corporate robots. They have massive budgets. You should be comfortable and familiar in how to use their soulless, corporate robot tendencies against them.
We play the long game. We aren’t beholden to quarters and KPIs and investors needing returns or employees needing to cash our vested shares. What we seek here is to do great work and build a long‑term, resilient, sustainable company that puts its employees and their lives ahead of work problems. We’re street smart guerrilla‑warfare‑type folks. You’re intelligence in this field will be a great foundation to work off of, but your ability to pivot into a true, street‑smart operator will be what makes you succeed here. Flankers if you will.
If that paragraph means something to you, this could be your dream job. If none of that makes much sense and you’re default tendencies is to spit out corporate robot lingo and recite how the playbook says we should operate to where you can get a better job title or pay, this role isn’t worth your time. We’ve been winning for decades by not following the traditional playbook, but we’ve been winning by blunt force. What’s fundamentally different here is the lack of specific KPIs or quarterly goals. It doesn’t really matter. We have no one to impress other than ourselves and knowing we crushed it and did a great job today, tomorrow, next week, next month, and whatever our time line is we decide to look out to.
We embrace open-source and build everything in‑house. Most people think we’re kinda nuts, but we’re playing the long game to control our own destiny and it’s been working out pretty well so far.
You’ll have plenty of resources, and a team of very skilled people. We’d love someone to help connect all the dots and help us elevate our work and work on what matters most. We think you’re someone who has heard about microservices, monoliths, and event‑driven design and all kinds of silly words people made up to sell their books and leadership camps, but you’re probably just doing them naturally. Like us, kinda, sort of you know?
We need to connect all the dots though and fight off the soulless corporate robots. We already have five times the customers of anyone else. We want you to help us talk to the customers, continue solving their problems, and help us all get better at our jobs and our craft along the way. It should also drive you completely insane when people start a subscription to a new software service when you could just build it yourself. At the end of the day, though, the most important thing for you to know though is that sometimes hummingbirds do indeed talk to squirrels in a holistic approach to keep the wasps distracted with overhangs instead of drinking their juice and making nests in the ground.
