Director of Engineering

Overview

At Greenboard, we’re building the future of financial compliance. Greenboard provides financial firms with an all-in-one compliance platform, replacing the need to buy and manage 4+ separate SaaS tools.

As Director of Engineering, you’ll lead both technical execution and engineering culture. This is a hands-on role, especially in the early months - you’ll be deep in the codebase, owning systems end-to-end, and setting the bar for quality, speed, and reliability as we scale.
