Help define the future of hardware development by building a collaboration platform for circuit designs, enabling the next generation of smart vehicles, IoT devices, rockets, medical devices, robotics, and much more. At AllSpice, we're building the agile development environment for hardware designers, including a Git-friendly translation layer and automated CI/CD framework for native circuit designs — think GitHub/GitLab + Copilot for electronics. Read more about our latest Series A announcement here https://techcrunch.com/2025/06/23/allspices-platform-is-the-github-for-electrical-engineering-teams/! As Director/VP of Software, you will own AllSpice's product development strategy and lead a growing engineering organization. Reporting directly to the CTO, this is first and foremost a leadership role: you'll set technical direction, translate customer and business needs into clear goals and priorities, and give your teams the alignment and just-enough structure they need to ship. Today that means leading ~3 technical team leads, with the mandate to grow and shape the org as we scale. You'll spend most of your time on the people and the plan—coaching team leads, sharpening how work gets prioritized and delivered, and keeping engineering pointed at the outcomes that matter most to customers. You'll stay close enough to the architecture and codebase to make sound calls and earn your engineers' trust; a genuine enjoyment of occasionally getting hands-on in the code is a plus, not a requirement. If you're passionate about growing high-performing teams and turning customer needs into shipped product, this role is for you. WHAT YOU'LL DO This is a high-impact role that comes with significant autonomy and requires a self-driven, strategic, and collaborative leader. You will own product development across the full stack — from our Go back-end and Rust parsing layer to our Vue/TypeScript front-end.
