Sometimes you're stuck in an engineering role where you're solving the same problems over and over. If you enjoy building great teams, solving complex technical challenges, and scaling technology — then Arena is the company you're looking for.

About the Role:

We’re looking for a Director of Engineering to lead our engineering organization and scale our technology, teams, and execution as Arena grows.

Reporting directly to the CEO, you’ll define and execute the engineering strategy, drive technical excellence, and build high-performing teams delivering reliable and scalable AI products.

What you will be doing:

  • Lead, coach, and develop engineering managers and senior engineers across multiple teams.
  • Partner directly with the CEO to define technical strategy, priorities, and execution plans.
  • Drive engineering excellence across architecture, scalability, reliability, security, and development practices.
  • Own engineering execution, ensuring teams deliver high-quality products on time.
  • Build and improve engineering processes, standards, and team structures as the organization scales.
  • Foster a culture of ownership, technical excellence, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

Must-Have Experience:

  • 8+ years of software engineering experience, including significant engineering leadership experience.
  • Proven experience leading engineering teams and developing engineering managers and senior engineers.
  • Strong background in designing and scaling SaaS, cloud-based, or API-driven products.
  • Strong understanding of software architecture, scalability, reliability, security, and engineering best practices.
  • Proven track record of improving engineering execution, processes, and team performance.
  • Strong ability to partner with Product, Design, and business leadership to balance technical and business priorities.
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills, with experience working with distributed/global teams.
  • Fluent English.

Our Stack:

Our engineering organization works across a modern, distributed technology stack, including:

  • Languages: Node.js, TypeScript, Golang
  • APIs & Real-Time: GraphQL, WebSockets, REST
  • Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS, Lambda, Fargate, EC2, API Gateway, S3, VPC, IAM, ALB, CloudFront, Kinesis, SQS, CloudWatch, Serverless Framework

  • Experience scaling engineering organizations in startups or scale-ups.
  • Experience with high-scale web applications and real-time systems.
  • Strong technical background with the ability to dive deep when needed without becoming the primary individual contributor.
  • Experience working with global teams and enterprise customers.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
