Job Description:
Role: Director of Engineering
Are you passionate about new technologies to build innovative solutions? Catchlight is seeking a dynamic Director of Engineering to lead our team in developing products using machine learning, large language models (LLMs), modern web applications, APIs, microservices, and cloud-native architecture.
Created in Fidelity Labs, Catchlight helps financial advisors grow their business by focusing on two simple, yet crucial questions: which prospect should I call next and what might they be interested in. Catchlight can gather up to 2,000 data points on a prospect. These data points can lead to insights which highlight specific needs or interests of a prospect, making it simpler for the advisor to act, saving time and driving 2-3x improvement in conversion.
In this role, you will be a hands-on player/coach, responsible for the design, implementation, testing, and delivery of new Catchlight products and capabilities. You will collaborate closely with technical leads and product managers to transform ideas from concepts into production-ready solutions, bringing these innovations to market.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead the engineering team in designing, developing, and deploying solutions applying modern web frameworks, machine learning solutions, data engineering technologies, microservices, and cloud-native architecture.
- Act as a hands-on player/coach, guiding the team through the entire product development lifecycle, from concept to production.
- Collaborate with technical leads and product managers to ensure alignment of technical solutions with business goals and customer needs.
- Drive the adoption of best practices in software engineering, including code quality, testing, and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD).
- Foster a culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement within the team.
- Mentor and develop engineering talent, ensuring the team is equipped with the skills and knowledge to excel in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
- Stay abreast of emerging technologies and industry trends and incorporate them into the development process to maintain a competitive edge.
Qualifications:
- A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, or a related field is required. Alternatively, substantial experience demonstrating a strong grasp of system design, technology adoption, data structures, algorithms, and a broad range of technologies is also acceptable.
- 10+ years of experience in software engineering, with a focus on building B2B and enterprise applications.
- Proven experience in leading and managing full stack teams in a dynamic startup like environment.
- Extensive knowledge of modern JavaScript frameworks (e.g., Next.js, Vue.js), Python, SQL, and RESTful APIs.
- Proficiency in designing and implementing microservice architectures and code-first data pipelines.
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools.
- Proven experience in building and deploying software solutions using AWS public cloud providers
- Experience with Ruby on Rails is highly desirable.
- Strong analytical, technical, and problem-solving skills.
Join Catchlight and be part of a fun and collaborative team that is applying technology to create fintech solutions. If you are a technical leader with a passion for innovation and a track record of success, we want to hear from you!

Frequently Asked Questions
- We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
- Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
- The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
- Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
- We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
- We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
- From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
- We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
- If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
- EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
