Director of Engineering

Overview

At Greenboard, we’re building the future of financial compliance. Greenboard provides financial firms with an all-in-one compliance platform, replacing the need to buy and manage 4+ separate SaaS tools.

As Director of Engineering, you’ll lead both technical execution and engineering culture. This is a hands-on role, especially in the early months - you’ll be deep in the codebase, owning systems end-to-end, and setting the bar for quality, speed, and reliability as we scale.

• Lead and scale Greenboard’s engineering function
• Write, review, and ship production code (especially early on)
• Own system reliability, uptime, and incident response
• Make architectural decisions that balance speed and durability
• Build and scale secure, high-volume systems for regulated financial data
• Partner closely with product and leadership on execution and prioritization
• Hire, mentor, and develop a high-performing engineering team
• Establish a culture of accountability and extreme ownership

Who Are You?

• A proven senior engineer who still loves being hands-on
• Comfortable getting into the weeds when systems break
• Obsessed with ownership — you don’t let problems linger
• Able to move fast in ambiguous, early-stage environments
• A strong communicator who values in-person collaboration
• Located in (or willing to relocate to) NYC
