Director of Engineering (Fan Experience)

Join Gametime, a leading ticketing platform, as the Director of Engineering for the Fan Experience team. In this hands-on role, you will lead multiple engineering teams, drive technical direction, and partner closely with product and design. You will have a direct impact on the core experience for millions of ticket buyers and help shape the future of the company.

• Lead and manage multiple engineering teams within the Fan Experience department, ensuring high-quality code delivery and adherence to best practices.
• Collaborate closely with Product Managers and Designers to align on product roadmaps, prioritize features, and drive the execution of engineering projects.
• Set the standard for the use of AI coding tools and new technologies within the teams, aiming to increase both velocity and quality of code.

• Strong understanding of modern front-end stacks (e.g., React and React Native), backend services, APIs, and full-stack architecture, with the technical depth to lead teams across the stack
• Familiarity with SQL/analytics (Datadog, Sentry, Honeybadger, etc) to diagnose funnel and feature performance and tie technical performance to business outcomes
• A track record of shipping consumer-facing product features that moved measurable business outcomes
• A data-driven approach to prioritization and technical trade-offs
• Experience managing full-stack and/or front-end engineering teams, including experience managing Engineering Managers and/or Staff-level engineers directly, alongside individual contributors (typically 8+ years in engineering, including several years managing managers or senior ICs)
• Experience partnering with Product and Design in a fast-moving, iterative environment (feature flags, A/B testing, rapid experimentation)
• A track record of building and holding a consistent hiring and performance bar across multiple teams, and partnering with peer engineering leaders to do the same across the organization. Develops existing engineers through specific feedback and coaching, as AI changes the work
• Experience leading full-stack teams with end-to-end ownership of consumer-facing web and mobile products, backend services, and APIs in a high-traffic marketplace or e-commerce environment
• Strong cross-functional partnership skills — comfortable operating as a true peer to Product and Design, with your own opinions on what should be built, not just executing their specs
• Direct experience using frontier models, AI coding agents/harnesses, and modern tooling to guide ai-assisted work toward intended outcomes, define what constitutes valid results, and establish ways to verify it
• A technically hands-on engineering leader who can write and review code, evaluate architecture and engineering tradeoffs, and step in as a team’s engineering manager when needed. Can clearly articulate and uphold a high technical bar across teams
• Experience scaling or restructuring an engineering org — splitting teams, hiring EMs, releveling
• Experience in consumer marketplaces or high-intent, high-conversion consumer apps
• A track record of building or championing internal tooling/platform investments that compounded team velocity over time
