Director - Software Engineering (Charlotte)

Slalom, Charlotte, NC, United States


Who You’ll Work With The Cloud-Build Software Engineering discipline within Slalom co‑creates custom software, data, and cloud products with clients who are ready to accelerate their digital transformation. We’re passionate about technology and its potential to create digital products, experiences, and technology‑driven organizations that drive true change. We’re excited to build the future we want to see with anyone willing to join us.

The Software Engineering discipline brings our clients’ vision to life! We use modern tools and techniques, including GenAI tools and copilots, to build secure, highly scalable software products that handle our clients’ most innovative and strategic work. We follow Agile practices when building software components and applications that utilize modern frameworks and cloud scale to accelerate our clients’ business. Our engineers are committed to collaboratively building high‑quality, sustainable software that delights clients and their customers by leveraging emerging tools in an ever‑changing technological landscape.

We build full‑stack solutions across a range of established and emerging technologies and techniques according to the needs of our clients including:

Front‑end applications targeting native mobile and modern web platforms. Examples include React, Angular, and Vue.

APIs and back‑end services built using emerging frameworks and architectural patterns. Examples include Node, TypeScript, Java, and .NET.

Hosting, generative AI, and application services provided by industry‑leading cloud providers. Examples include AWS, Azure, and GCP.

Operational efficiencies leveraging modern ecosystems and automated build and deployment pipelines.

Collaborative build practices, including GenAI tooling, that allow our teams to be agile and responsive to our clients’ needs.

What You’ll Do You are a fire‑breathing, dragon‑slaying, master of technology. You are an architect among architects, and technical leaders look up to you as a mentor. You will bring deep expertise within a specific capability in software engineering and be responsible for developing services and offerings while ensuring a capable team delivers at scale. You will manage multi‑level reporting structures and serve as the dedicated senior architect on complex engagements in the East region (North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida). You will consistently guide our teams and clients as a technical delivery expert, and specifically you will:

Co‑lead discovery and delivery project phases alongside other capability leaders as the solution lead.

Develop and execute implementation plans that delight clients and customers.

Provide oversight and guidance for software engineers across multiple workstreams on complex projects.

Lead and grow emerging software engineering leaders.

Collaborate with other development capabilities to iteratively design, develop, validate, and operate software at scale using agile techniques.

Act as the capability lead aligned to individual markets, helping market leaders understand Slalom’s build strategy while providing pursuit support.

Advance the craft by developing and sharing materials and thought leadership with other builders, and provide space for others to do the same.

We are looking for candidates who are interested in working in a hybrid environment. We offer a flexible working environment to balance the need to work independently with days that may require in‑person collaboration at our office. A requirement of this role is living within commutable distance from our Charlotte office.

What You’ll Bring You will lean heavily on your depth and breadth of software delivery experience to guide teams through holistic pursuit and delivery of complex systems. You bring your ability to articulate and plan holistic delivery leveraging the entire delivery tool chain—including ALM, GenAI, CI/CD, IDE, documentation, and prototyping tools. You have acute understanding of client business and technology leaders’ needs and can help them articulate their needs to formulate a pursuit plan. You adapt your collaboration style to different client and team member working styles, coach and mentor other leaders toward powerful outcomes, and feed curiosity through empowerment and collaboration. You appreciate the constant evolution of tools and techniques used to build and ship high‑quality software, enabling your team to explore, experiment, and evolve delivery practices to meet clients’ ever‑changing needs.
