The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  KFC is hiring a Director of Engineering in Warren, MI.

• Role description

  As a Director of Engineering at KFC, you will own features end to end, from architecture through deployment and monitoring. At KFC the $141,000 - $218,000 matters, sure, but so does owning the technology outcome with 10 years of Selenium behind it.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Turn KFC's Leadership on-call noise into alerts that actually mean something
  • Decode the undocumented Agile service nobody at KFC remembers writing
  • Refine and maintain microservices that support KFC customers in Warren, MI
  • Drive the Accountability incident postmortem that stops the Warren outage from recurring
  • Stand up observability so KFC sees failures before customers in MI do
  • Carry features from whiteboard sketch to Warren, MI production without dropping the baton

  What You'll Bring

  • Self-direction that survives a quiet Slack channel
  • A bias toward asking the dumb question before the expensive mistake
  • Customer-focused outlook with strong interpersonal skills
  • Willingness to commute to Warren, MI or work flexibly as needed
  • Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • A communicator who writes the meeting recap nobody asked for but everyone reads

  Since day one, KFC has been on a quality-obsessed mission to reshape technology from its base in Warren, MI. Our Warren team would rather over-communicate than leave a teammate guessing at midnight.

  You bring the Rust; we bring $141,000 - $218,000, a mentor, a benefits package, and the freedom to grow on your terms in Warren.
