Engineering Director

This is a Full Time Job

Director of Engineering

Location: Bay Area (Preferred) or New York (Secondary)

Reports to: CTO

The Opportunity

We are conducting an AI-first engineering rebuild for a company with a massive existing audience of over 100M users. This is a ''zero-to-one'' build where you will have no legacy constraints and the freedom to define a modern stack from scratch. You aren't joining to maintain; you are joining to build the future of the creator ecosystem.

The Product

You will lead the development of a consumer-facing membership ecosystem anchored around the MrBeast audience. This includes:
• Lead the development of consumer-facing applications with the potential to reach 100M people.
• Develop a privacy-safe data foundation that enables a deep understanding of our audience and powers exceptional experiences – directly and in partnership with our partners.
• Own the roadmap for AI across design, product, and engineering, including how we test new capabilities to improve and automate engineering, creative, and back-office workflows.

What You’ll Do
• Serve as a key engineering leader, establishing the technical culture, hiring bar, and organizational structure from the ground up.
• Partner closely with design and cross-functional leadership to drive rapid, AI-first product development.
• Own the technical roadmap for products used by millions, driving from concept to launch with a clear sense of urgency.
• Build and scale a world-class engineering organization – starting with a foundational squad and growing into a high-performing, multi-team org over time.
• Set the standard for how engineering is done here: AI tooling, coding agents, and modern development practices are the baseline, not the exception.
• Attract, develop, and retain top-tier engineering talent, creating an org that becomes known as a destination for the best builders in the industry.

Who You Are
• AI-Native: You are already ''burning through tokens'' and using AI coding agents daily to multiply your output.
• Battle-Tested: You have seen FAANG-level scale but retain the hands-on of a startup founder.
• Product Owner: You have a track record of shipping consumer-facing products at scale (1M users).
• Leader: You can operate in high ambiguity and are known for attracting and developing top-tier talent.
