About the Role We're seeking a Director of Engineering who codes—not someone who used to code, but someone who still ships production code regularly and sees it as essential to effective leadership.You'll lead our User &amp; Agentic Interfaces organization, responsible for how customers and AI agents interact with the Scope3 platform. This spans traditional web interfaces, AI-powered experiences, and agent-to-agent communication protocols. You'll build and scale multiple teams delivering world-class experiences across human and agentic touchpoints—from customer-facing applications to MCP servers and protocol implementations as we scale our Scope3 agentic platform.The advertising industry is transforming through AI and agentic technologies faster than anyone can plan for. This role requires deep technical judgment that only comes from staying close to the code and being on the cutting edge of new technologies. When your team proposes a novel approach to agent communication protocols, you need to evaluate it from experience, not abstraction. When they hit a complex problem, you need to open the PR and understand exactly what's happening.You'll split your time between coding and leadership. Roughly 30-40% writing code—shipping features, fixing bugs, reviewing architecture, prototyping new patterns. The rest on leadership: developing your managers, hiring, cross-functional planning, unblocking teams, and strategic technical decisions.
