Why Triple Whale Needs You: We’re looking for a Director of Engineering to lead our Measurement engineering organization, currently spanning approximately five teams (15 engineers) and growing. You’ll directly manage the team leads and own the area’s technical direction, execution, and operational performance with the opportunity to shape both the systems we build and how our teams work as we scale. This role is approximately 70% management and 30% hands-on technical work. To succeed at Triple Whale, you need to understand the details deeply: how systems work, where data comes from, why decisions were made, and what is blocking progress. You should be comfortable moving from a leadership discussion into code, data flows, or a production investigation. Staying close to the code and production systems will give you a deep understanding of their intricacies, dependencies, and trade-offs, grounding your leadership in firsthand technical knowledge. Triple Whale has experienced rapid growth while intentionally maintaining a startup mindset. We’ve prioritized speed, ownership, and the ability to move quickly over adding process for process’s sake. As we continue to scale, part of this role will be identifying where greater structure and stronger processes will help the team operate more effectively, while being thoughtful not to introduce unnecessary bureaucracy or compromise the speed that is core to how we work. We tend to work in short cycles and adapt quickly to customer needs, which means to be effective you must be comfortable with regular context switching and dynamic prioritization. You’ll connect the work across Measurement, bringing together business priorities, customer needs, and technical context so teams can make clear decisions and deliver effectively. You’ll work closely with our Director of Product for Measurement and partner with leadership and team leads to translate company direction into clear engineering priorities, making trade-offs explicit and giving teams the context to execute while keeping them informed and protecting their focus. Who This Is An Opportunity For: This is an opportunity for someone who wants to: Own and scale a growing, multi-team engineering organization. Stay close to the technology and the customer problems we’re solving. Work with high autonomy, little bureaucracy, and a strong sense of ownership. Genuinely loves managing people. Someone who is naturally good at developing leaders, building strong teams, and getting the best out of people.
