Our technology team is growing, and we want a Director of Engineering who can turn complex requirements into reliable, scalable software. The promise is concrete — $190,000 - $275,000, remote hours, 11 years honored, and a technology role at Blackstone that grows with you.
Key Responsibilities
- Translate unfussy business requirements into technical specifications and tasks
- Keep Flexibility schemas backward-compatible so Blackstone never forces a breaking upgrade
- Profile Ruby on Rails memory use and chase down the leaks crashing Baltimore nodes
- Trace a deeply-bought-in technology bug across three GitHub Actions services to the one bad line
- Own the director Ruby on Rails workstream that unblocks the rest of Blackstone's Baltimore, MD roadmap
- Guard the GitHub Actions codebase quality through reviews that teach as much as they catch
What You'll Bring
- Comfort with a Blackstone pace that rarely sits still
- Confident communicator across email, calls, and in-person meetings
- A proudly-imperfect bias toward action, balanced by knowing when to wait
- Strong multitasking ability without sacrificing quality
- Comfort defending a recommendation in front of skeptics
We started Blackstone in a Baltimore garage because the technology status quo deserved a client-focused reckoning. We assume good intent first and ask clarifying questions second, which keeps the deeply-bought-in days drama-free.
Expect $190,000 - $275,000, a hybrid Baltimore office, generous PTO, and leaders who treat your development as a real priority.
We updated this posting recently and are still actively accepting candidates.
We open the Director of Engineering role today and close it once we meet the right person, so hurry.
