At UVeye, we're on a mission to redefine vehicle safety and reliability on a global scale. Founded in 2016, we have pioneered the world's first fully automated suite of vehicle inspection systems. At the heart of this innovation lies our advanced AI-centric technology, representing the pinnacle of computer vision, machine learning, and generative AI within the automotive sector.

With over $380M in funding and strategic partnerships with industry giants such as Toyota, Amazon, General Motors, Volvo, and Hertz, our technology is utilized in manufacturing plants, dealerships, wholesale auctions, delivery fleets, seaports, and more. Our growing global team of over 200 employees is committed to creating a workplace that celebrates diversity, encourages teamwork, and strives for excellence.

We’re looking for an experienced Director of Software to lead our full-stack engineering teams and own the strategy, architecture, and delivery of our web platform. You’ll set technical direction (front end and back end), scale microservices, and coach high-performing teams shipping secure, reliable, and beautiful web experiences.

A day in the life and how you’ll make an impact:

• Lead & grow teams: Manage, mentor, and hire full-stack squads (TLs, and ICs). Drive career development, 1:1s, and performance culture.
• Set architecture: Define a modern Angular front-end architecture and Node.js/TypeScript back end across microservices (APIs, gateways, shared libraries).
• Own the roadmap: Partner with Product/Design to prioritize outcomes; translate business goals into engineering plans with measurable impact.
• Raise the bar: Establish coding standards, design reviews, and SDLC best practices (testing, CI/CD, trunk-based development).
• Operational excellence: Own availability, latency, and cost KPIs; implement observability (logs, metrics, traces) and incident response.
• Security & compliance: Champion secure coding, authN/Z, data privacy, and dependency governance.
• Quality at scale: Drive test strategy (unit/integration/e2e), performance budgets, accessibility, and responsive UX standards.
• Technical sponsor: Guide system design (caching, queues, messaging, data contracts), decompose monoliths, and oversee migrations.
• Stakeholder management: Communicate trade-offs and delivery plans to execs; align cross-functionally with Data and Infra.

Requirements:

• 10+ years in software engineering with 5+ years leading managers and/or multiple teams.
• Startup at scale experience- success leading web platforms in startup or scale-up environments.
• Deep, recent experience with Angular (signals/standalone components preferred) and Node.js/TypeScript services.
• Proven track record designing and operating microservices in production (API design, service discovery, resiliency patterns, rate limiting).
• Strong foundation in cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure), containers (Docker), and Kubernetes; CI/CD (GitHub Actions/GitLab/Jenkins).
• Experience building performant, accessible SPAs; mastery of web performance profiling and optimization.
• Data & integration fluency: REST/GraphQL, event streaming (Kafka/Pub/Sub), relational + document stores.
• Excellent people leadership, hiring, and coaching skills; history of building inclusive, high-trust teams.
• Clear communication with executives; comfortable with metrics, OKRs, and ROI framing.
• Experience collaborating with algorithms and ML groups - advantage
