The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Family Dollar is hiring a Director of Engineering in Philadelphia, PA.

• Role description

  As a Director of Engineering at Family Dollar, you will own features end to end, from architecture through deployment and monitoring. Plainly put, Family Dollar wants 10 years of Continuous Learning, will pay $207,000 - $287,000, and expects you to own the result.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Trace a technology number back through Kotlin services until it finally adds up
  • Decode the undocumented CI/CD service nobody at Family Dollar remembers writing
  • Optimize application performance, latency, and resource utilization at scale
  • Wire Resilience APIs to Microservices consumers so data lands where Philadelphia teams expect it
  • Profile Terraform memory use and chase down the leaks crashing Philadelphia nodes
  • Carry features from whiteboard sketch to Philadelphia, PA production without dropping the baton

  What You'll Bring

  • A Philadelphia network, or the hustle to build one from scratch
  • Storytelling instincts that turn data into a decision
  • Willingness to commute to Philadelphia, PA or work flexibly as needed
  • 12+ years putting Initiative to work in a technology setting
  • Proven Initiative results, ideally seasoned in Philadelphia, PA

  Everything Family Dollar ships starts as a feedback-hungry argument in a Philadelphia conference room about how Resilience should really work. Our Philadelphia office prizes the quiet contributor who makes everyone around them measurably better.

  Our offer to you: $207,000 - $287,000, a mentor, a benefits suite, and the latitude to grow your Initiative into something senior.

  Stamped current this morning, the full-time opportunity awaits your application.
