Digital Engineer

We’re seeking a curious, future‑focused Engineering Director to mature and scale our engineering practices and platforms spanning mobile, web, kiosks, POS, KDS, loyalty, marketing tech, data, and analytics. You’ll set a bold engineering vision, lead high‑performing teams (including strategic partners), and deliver reliable, secure, measurable outcomes that drive guest engagement, personalization, and business growth. You will also drive the strategic integration of AI capabilities with enterprise data to unlock actionable insights, enhance decision-making across digital platforms, drive scalability and efficiency, and unlock new revenue generation opportunities.

REQUIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• 10 years in software/platform engineering with 5 leading multi‑disciplinary engineering groups (app dev, platform/DevSecOps/SRE, QA/automation, data/ML).
• Demonstrated vision for maturing engineering practices (e.g., platform engineering, trunk‑based development, CI/CD, SRE, SDLC governance) and a track record of looking around the corner at industry evolution.
• Curiosity & research mindset: habitually explores emerging tech; translates insights into pragmatic pilots and scaled adoption.
• Proven innovation leadership across products/practices/process/technology; measurable improvements to reliability, speed, quality, or cost.
• Thought leadership in at least one contemporary domain (e.g., AI/LLM, platform engineering, cloud‑native, privacy‑preserving data, edge computing)—with public artifacts or internal evangelism to show impact.
• Experience enabling data & personalization (data pipelines, governance, model lifecycle, experimentation, guest 360).
• Strong partner ecosystem leadership (systems integrators/MSPs), outcome‑based SOW governance, and cross‑functional influence.
• Excellent communication with executives and non‑technical stakeholders; evidence of building inclusive, high‑trust cultures.

NICE TO HAVE SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• Background integrating restaurant/retail technology stacks (POS, KDS, kiosk, loyalty, e‑commerce), or similar multi‑site, transaction‑heavy environments. Experience in QSR/retail is a plus, not a must.

Compensation:

$150,000 to $170,000 per year annual salary.
