Director, Mitratech Catalyst

Mitratech is seeking a hands-on technical leader to launch new AI-augmented applications from zero to one, operating at the intersection of product engineering and organizational transformation. The role involves rapid delivery cycles, product conception, architecture, and handoff to engineering teams.

Location: United States

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end development of new applications and features from concept through production release within 8–12 week project cycles.
• Define architecture, select technology stacks, and make build-vs-buy decisions optimized for speed, quality, and long-term maintainability.
• Leverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate coding, testing, documentation, and review workflows.
• Personally write production code alongside a small, high-velocity squad.
• Deliver working software that meets security, scalability, and cloud-native deployment standards.

Requirements

• 10+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping production applications at scale.
• Demonstrated experience leading 0→1 product builds in fast-paced or startup-like environments.
• Deep fluency with AI-assisted development workflows (LLM-based code generation, AI pair programming, automated testing with AI, prompt engineering).
• Strong architectural instincts across full-stack, cloud-native systems (AWS, containerization, CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code).
• Proven ability to hand off complex systems to other teams with clear documentation, clean codebases, and effective knowledge transfer.
• Experience leading or mentoring engineers and influencing engineering culture without relying on positional authority.
