Director of Engineering
Revivn, Brooklyn, NY, United States
About Revivn
Revivn is a profitable and rapidly growing company that helps enterprises manage their technology through our end‑of‑life software platform. We take electronic recycling one step further by repurposing hardware that still has remaining life and providing it to people who lack dedicated computer access, making technology more affordable for those who may not be able to purchase new devices. Working with companies such as Instacart, Lyft, Qualtrics, X, Gensler, and Allbirds, we are changing the way companies view used technology with a new model that focuses on repurposing instead of recycling. Company Culture
We’re building a category‑defining company focused on expanding access to technology by giving devices a second life. Our work sits at the intersection of software, hardware, logistics, and sustainability, where the problems are real, messy, and operationally complex, and where getting things right matters to our customers every day. It’s a place where people own outcomes, build quickly, and work closely with operations and customers to solve real‑world problems. The role is based on‑site at our Brooklyn Navy Yard office with Remote Wednesdays. The Role
We’re looking for a senior engineering leader to lead our existing engineering team and grow it thoughtfully over time, while sharing ownership of product outcomes and serving as a strong internal advocate for our customers. From day one, this role is part of company leadership. You’ll partner closely with the Co‑CEO/Co‑Founder and cross‑functional leaders to ensure what we build meaningfully improves our operational and customer experience, not just that it ships. Responsibilities
Own engineering as a function: technical direction, execution, hiring, and culture Write production code and make architectural decisions that matter immediately Lead and support an existing team of engineers, ensuring both short‑ and long‑term success Balance delivery of high‑impact projects with improving team cohesion, process, and engineering craft Grow the team through thoughtful, additive hiring, strong onboarding, and clear performance expectations Build toward a forward‑deployed engineering model where engineers work closely with operations and GTM to solve real customer problems directly Introduce structure where it helps, and avoid it where it slows us down Partner directly with the CEO and leadership team to translate business priorities into technical reality Gradually scale yourself out of the critical path over time while maintaining high technical standards Who This Role Is For
