ROLE:

This is a full-time, salaried leadership position—not a contract or temporary role.
As the Director of Engineering – Systems & Automation, you will serve as a strategic leader at the intersection of technology, operations, and business enablement. Your mission is to design and orchestrate systems that empower teams, optimize workflows, and support scalable growth. You will champion a culture of continuous improvement, cross-functional alignment, and high-trust team dynamics, all while architecting the technological foundations of Acquisition.com’s next evolution.
This role is ideal for a systems thinker and empathetic leader who thrives on discovering inefficiencies, designing elegant solutions, and inspiring teams through clarity, collaboration, and impact. You’ll work closely with the CTO, Director of Application Engineering, and key business stakeholders to bridge communication gaps, automate business processes, and ensure our backend systems and intelligent infrastructure are built with precision and purpose.
