Director of Engineering

This is a remote position.

EV.Careers is currently seeking a full-time, fully remote Director of Engineering for one of our partners — a fast-growing construction technology company with a proven platform serving thousands of active users across the specialty trades. You will lead a founding engineering team tackling hard problems at the intersection of automation, AI, and spatial computing — taking innovative research and turning it into production-grade commercial software.

Responsibilities

• Build and lead a lean engineering team while staying hands-on across design, architecture, and implementation.
  
• Lead applied algorithm research and development across multi-agent pathfinding and 3D spatial routing, as well as OCR-based data extraction from complex technical documents.
  
• Drive the full lifecycle from concept to commercial product, maintaining high standards for stability, scalability, and long-term maintainability.
  
• Design and develop core features across multiple platforms and languages, balancing rapid innovation with clean, maintainable code.
  
• Partner with executive leadership and technical stakeholders to guide architectural decisions and maintain a codebase that is robust, scalable, and built for long-term commercial success.
  
• Lead by example - investing in your team's growth without stepping back from the technical work.
  

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in software engineering, with an active record as an individual contributor, not just a manager
  
• Proven expertise in multi-agent pathfinding and routing in 2D or 3D spatial environments.
  
• Strong familiarity with OCR applications for real-world use cases, including digital document processing and computer vision, is highly desirable.
  
• Strong academic or professional foundation in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field.
  
• Demonstrated history of taking commercial software products from concept to stable release — must have more than prototype-only experience.
  
• Hands-on C# coding ability paired with the architectural instincts to build complex, maintainable systems at scale.
  
• Able to shift fluidly between team leadership and hands-on technical contribution, including writing clean, production-grade code.
  
• Comfortable operating with ambiguity, taking initiative, and driving toward clear goals in a fast-paced, high-performance environment.
  
• Ability to travel occasionally for company off-sites, typically a few times per year.
  
• Must be authorized to work in the United States; H-1B sponsorship is not currently offered (exceptional candidates with visa requirements will be considered case-by-case)
  
• Must pass a background check and I-9 work authorization verification; no drug screen required
  

Benefits

• 401(k) with standard safe harbor match
  
• Health insurance with individual coverage (adjusted based on location and family situation)
