Prismatic is the integration platform that helps B2B software companies build integrations fast and deliver them at scale. We're turning integrations from a bottleneck into a growth driver for hundreds of companies, from high-growth startups to Fortune 500s.
Our platform handles everything that breaks at scale, so teams can ship integrations, not infrastructure. It provides flexible, AI-enabled build experiences through code-native, low-code, and an embedded workflow builder, plus self-service configuration and an embedded marketplace.
Prismatic is well-funded with strong product-market fit and a high-agency, driven, collaborative culture.
About the role:
We're hiring a Director of Engineering to lead the Engineering organization. This role reports directly to the CTO and is the single engineering leader across two teams currently totaling 8 engineers, with a plan towards ~12. This is not a manager-of-managers role today, you’ll be directly managing the team. The ideal candidate is someone excited to directly lead a team of high performing Senior+ Engineers. Beyond the people management side, you'll own the full scope of execution: process, feature delivery, quality, while maintaining a highly engaged group of people.
Prismatic is built primarily in TypeScript (both frontend and backend), with some Python and Django on the backend and React on the frontend. We build a sophisticated low-code integration builder, an SDK and tools for building integrations fully in TypeScript, and features powering our customers' AI agent functionality. All of this on top of a high-scale, performance critical platform. While this is not a hands-on building role, being confident in the technology, and the challenges of a scaling a developer facing SaaS platform will be crucial to high quality decision making.

- Partner with Product to drive execution across all initiatives; on-time delivery, quality and consistency.
- Manage, coach, and grow all engineers directly, regular 1:1s, high-quality feedback, and growth conversations.
- Staff each initiative and pair it with the right Tech Lead; develop the Tech Lead bench so ownership keeps spreading.
- Surface and resolve cross-initiative risks: staffing gaps, priority collisions, delivery delays.
- Contribute to hiring: help us find, close, and ramp the next several engineers.
- Contribute technically where it helps, this isn't day-to-day code, but helping with architecture review, tech-debt analysis, scaling challenges, etc.
About you:
- Demonstrated progression from a technical role to a leadership role, with demonstrated experience managing multiple teams of Engineers in a fully remote environment.
