About the role

  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoXyXTFWbkg
  • You will report directly to the VP of Engineering and sit on the Product & Engineering Senior Leadership Team.

Responsibilities

  • Own the strategy and outcomes for a portfolio spanning shared frameworks, developer tooling, and partner delivery; define what good looks like for each Squad and hold that bar
  • Make the rest of Product & Engineering measurably faster: drive adoption of shared frameworks and services, retire duplicated effort across Pods, and prove the multiplier effect with data
  • Stand up our Solutions Engineering Squad: accelerate the roadmap commitments that win and retain key accounts by building the agency bench, owning contracting and statement-of-work oversight alongside our commercial teams, and running the handoff protocol that turns contracted work into owned, maintained product
  • Modernize our Product Development Lifecycle through Engineering: pursue step changes in how we deliver software, leading the shift from AI-assisted to agentic development on your own Squads first and as a model for the rest of engineering
  • Hire, develop, and retain engineering managers and senior individual contributors; own performance, succession, and engagement across the Pod
  • Own the Pod's budget across tooling and agency spend, and be accountable for the throughput it buys
  • You've delivered meaningful work through outside partners: selecting agencies or outsourced teams, managing statements of work, and keeping quality and ownership clean through handoff
  • You use AI development tools daily and have changed how a team builds software with them

Requirements

  • Familiarity with native mobile development (we ship iOS and Android apps supported by a cross-cutting Mobile chapter)
  • You've led engineering through real scale, growing teams while a business expanded from roughly $100M to $300M in revenue, and you know what has to change in people, process, and architecture along the way

Nice to have

  • Be sure to mention "coffee" in your application so we know you read this

Benefits

  • Multiple health/dental coverage options (100% coverage for employee, 50% for family)
  • Vision insurance
  • Incentive stock options
  • Parental leave - birthing parent (16 weeks paid) non-birthing (4 weeks paid)
  • FSA & HSA options
  • Short and long term disability (short term 100% paid)
  • Wellbeing fund - $150 quarterly
  • Business expense stipend - $125 quarterly
  • Mac laptop + new hire equipment stipend

  • Our careers page: https://www.fleetio.com/careers
  • Fleetio is looking for a Director to lead our Leverage Engineering Pod, a Division within Engineering whose mission is to multiply the delivery capacity of all of Product & Engineering.
  • You will lead and be accountable for the Pod's strategy and execution through three Squads: Foundations Engineering, which builds the shared frameworks and services every Product Squad builds on; Builder Experience, which exists to modernize our Product Development Lifecycle, pursuing step changes in our ability to deliver software rather than incremental gains, with AI-assisted and agentic development as its current focus; and Solutions Engineering, a new Squad chartered to accelerate the roadmap commitments that win and retain key accounts, extending our capacity through vetted agency partners.
  • Your customers are mostly internal: the Product and Platform Pods whose speed and quality your Squads exist to raise.
  • You will set the strategy for how leverage is measured across Product & Engineering: the cadence, the expectations, and the evidence that your Squads are making every other Pod faster.
  • The role carries a commercial edge as well: through Solutions Engineering you will select and manage agency partners, oversee statements of work, and make sure contracted work lands as first-class Fleetio code with a clean handoff to a long-term owner.
  • You will own the Pod's vision, roadmap, and investment case end to end, which means bringing product judgment as well as engineering leadership: discovering what your internal customers need, prioritizing a portfolio across three very different Squads, and making the case for the investment each deserves.
