The role

Hard problems in Nginx don't intimidate you; they're the reason you open your laptop, which makes you our kind of Director of Engineering. Join Zoom as a part-time Director of Engineering and take real ownership of Strategic Planning work while earning $151,000 - $202,000 and growing your craft.

Key Responsibilities

  • Automate build, test, and deployment pipelines for faster release cycles
  • Carry the Spring Boot platform work that makes Zoom's next NY expansion boring
  • Evaluate and recommend new tools, frameworks, and Express.js libraries
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a strong code-review culture
  • Break large technology initiatives into Linux increments Buffalo can actually deliver
  • Chase down the Nginx integration that silently drops Zoom events at midnight
  • Land Microservices performance wins Zoom can measure in NY retention numbers
  • Work closely with data teams to surface insights from production systems

What You'll Bring

  • A portfolio that speaks louder than any line on your resume
  • A solid foundation in Strategic Planning, refined over 11+ years
  • Comfort being measured against a clear director bar
  • Pattern recognition earned across many technology engagements
  • Professionalism, integrity, and discretion with sensitive information
  • The kind of reliability that earns you the hard assignments

At Zoom, a candidly-kind Buffalo-based studio, the whole mission boils down to making Microservices feel effortless for everyone downstream. Feedback flows in every direction at Zoom, from the newest hire to the people signing the $151,000 - $202,000 checks.

At $151,000 - $202,000, with mentorship and a benefits suite to match, this Director of Engineering seat at Zoom is built for people who want to rise.

Hot off the queue today, Zoom wants to hear from you this week.

The candidates who apply early at Zoom are the ones we remember, so be early.
