More about our team and company: Fleetio overview video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoXyXTFWbkg Our careers page: https://www.fleetio.com/careers Description Fleetio is looking for a Director to lead our Leverage Engineering Pod, a Division within Engineering whose mission is to multiply the delivery capacity of all of Product & Engineering. You will lead and be accountable for the Pod's strategy and execution through three Squads: Foundations Engineering, which builds the shared frameworks and services every Product Squad builds on; Builder Experience, which exists to modernize our Product Development Lifecycle, pursuing step changes in our ability to deliver software rather than incremental gains, with AI-assisted and agentic development as its current focus; and Solutions Engineering, a new Squad chartered to accelerate the roadmap commitments that win and retain key accounts, extending our capacity through vetted agency partners. Your customers are mostly internal: the Product and Platform Pods whose speed and quality your Squads exist to raise. You will set the strategy for how leverage is measured across Product & Engineering: the cadence, the expectations, and the evidence that your Squads are making every other Pod faster. The role carries a commercial edge as well: through Solutions Engineering you will select and manage agency partners, oversee statements of work, and make sure contracted work lands as first-class Fleetio code with a clean handoff to a long-term owner. You will report directly to the VP of Engineering
