Co-Founder @ Passive | Helping great people quietly discover great work | DFW-ZAG At your level, career decisions aren’t about escaping a job — they’re about
pursuing impact . Passive makes that exploration frictionless. In seconds, you can surface roles aligned to your trajectory, tailor a resume automatically, and evaluate opportunities privately —
without recruiters, noise, or wasted cycles . It’s a smarter way to stay open to what’s next while remaining fully focused on the work in front of you.
The Role We’re looking for a
Director of Engineering
who thrives on zero‑to‑one creation and scale. You’ll lead the engineering function across mobile, backend, and AI — driving architecture, velocity, and culture as we prepare for public launch. You’ll partner directly with our CTO (ex‑Amazon, ex‑Vistaprint) to design the systems and team that power the next era of career discovery. You’ll be hands‑on in the early stages, then grow and lead a world‑class engineering org as we scale.
What You’ll Do
Oversee all engineering execution — mobile, backend, and AI — ensuring speed, quality, and security.
Define and implement engineering best practices, CI/CD pipelines, and performance benchmarks.
Partner with the CTO on architecture decisions for scale and reliability.
Collaborate with Product and Design to deliver elegant, frictionless user experiences.
Recruit and mentor top engineering talent as the team grows.
Play a key role in technical strategy, fundraising, and company direction.
You Bring
7+ years of experience in engineering leadership at fast‑scaling SaaS or consumer tech startups.
Proven track record managing cross‑functional teams (mobile, backend, data/AI).
Strong technical foundation in full‑stack or mobile systems architecture.
Ability to balance speed and structure — you know when to ship and when to refactor.
Passion for shaping product and culture from the ground up.
Why Join Passive
Build something that helps millions quietly find better work — without burnout.
Lead alongside founders with 30+ years of combined experience in HR tech and SaaS.
Influence architecture, culture, and direction from day one.
Early‑stage equity, real ownership, and a mission that matters.
Join us to re‑engineer how the world finds work.
