What a Director of Engineering does
Leads several engineering teams through the managers who run them and is accountable for what those teams deliver and how reliably it runs. A director of engineering sets technical direction with senior engineers, plans headcount and budget, hires and develops managers, and negotiates priorities with product leadership. The role is about organization and delivery more than writing code.
