Director, Engineering

We are the last line of defense, the ones that must remediate the pain by any means necessary. The department, the business, and ultimately our clients/partners rely on us to ensure we can continue delivering on our mission.

We serve a specific function and the people executing against its Assignments. Our goal is continuous improvement of the tools and processes (balancing autonomy and focusing on feedback loops) to ensure everyone knows what success means, has the tools to achieve success, and are engaged throughout the journey in pursuit of success.

We help those we serve achieve their personal growth and work goals – using servant leadership principles of empowering and trusting, transparency, providing clarity, and ensuring 360-degree accountability.

Our sole goal is to help fill the top of the funnel with "Hell Yeah" candidates

We are the builder, thinkers, the foundation for our business. Our business exists to provide value primarily via software – and we have the tremendous honor of being the caretakers of the software. Our motto as Product People is; Continuously Deliver Value – that Clients and Partners Love – and works for the business.

We take slices of work (epics/scopes) and break them into specific, actionable stories/tasks so that we can ship as effectively as possible.

We write the software that drives the value delivery of our offering

We put teammates first by using code reviews as a way to help them continuously improve while continuously delivering value

We seek evidence that helps us decide on the direction we will take. There is a saying "if all we have are opinions, let's use mine... but if we have data, let's use that". CareerPlug aspires to be data-influenced in all product decisions. We are the engine that powers that influence.

We are the documenters... we ensure that the most important parts of how our application is supposed to work never gets forgotten.

Escalations are inevitable, but we ensure recurring escalations are reduced/eliminated altogether

A team/squad is a collection of individuals coming together to accomplish some mission. To accomplish a mission, the team needs to make forward progress. We are the facilitators of this forward progress... ensuring that with every action we take brings us closer to achieving our mission 💪🏾 We know it takes a team to succeed, and are committed to ensuring WTWT and collaboration. Regardless of our processes, meeting style and cadences, and communication methods; we ensure progress (next steps, priorities, and deliverables) are as clear as possible.

Bringing new folks into our community is one of the most important activities any of us will do. We ensure a good candidate experience, a great interviewer experience, and ultimately a talent/opportunity fit we are excited about.

We ensure everyone is aware of what is going on when there is an incident

We ensure our software is operating such that there is little to no disruption in value delivered

There can be no Value without Quality. We ensure we are building that quality in. From selecting opportunities, to shaping solutions, how we decompose and sequence the build out, and even how we do staged rollouts of our launches. We are looking for ways to ensure quality at every turn.

We ensure a quality experience by reducing those pesky issues that might pop up in places where no one is looking

We directly help clients, partners, and even technical partners be set up for success and when needed overcome the hairiest hurdles

We ensure that our technical partnerships are healthy. That means clarifying expectations, managing communication, and ultimately being accountable for success (win-win makers).

We want all builders to agree with: “I feel safe enough to build high-value functionality, quickly, and that is in a large part due to how we execute on our testing strategy”

We take the ideals of "continuous improvement of daily work" to its most actionable level. We join Tiger Teams when we think we can help make something better. We see a need, and fill a need.

We shape the solutions aimed at the desired outcome within Opportunities. We are the missionaries within Product obsessively focused on the five big value attributes while seeking continuously improved ways to deliver value that our clients/partners love and work for the business.
