About The Position

The Director of Code Quality and Engineering Enablement is a leadership role responsible for defining and driving the enterprise code quality assurance strategy and ensuring engineering standards and best practices are concretely embedded into how code is written, reviewed, and maintained. While engineering excellence and architectural direction are defined by partner organizations, this role ensures those expectations are operationalized through scalable code quality products, consistent review practices, and actionable insights. The focus of this role is ensuring codebases across the enterprise remain healthy, maintainable, secure, and production‑ready.

Requirements

• Strong background in modern development practices, code review, and maintaining large‑scale codebases.
• Experience defining and operationalizing code quality assurance strategies across large organizations.
• Ability to use data to assess code quality and health and communicate insights effectively to leadership.
• Proven ability to influence without direct authority in complex enterprise environments.

Responsibilities

• Own and drive the enterprise code quality assurance strategy across the software development lifecycle.
• Define what code quality and codebase health mean in practice, aligned to enterprise engineering standards.
• Ensure quality expectations scale across teams, platforms, and technology stacks.
• Lead a team responsible for developing and evolving shared code quality products used across the enterprise.
• Ensure these products bake quality expectations directly into development and code review workflows.
• Balance consistency with flexibility to support diverse application teams and modernization efforts.
• Define and promote consistent, high‑quality code review expectations across teams.
• Ensure reviews emphasize maintainability, reliability, readability, and long‑term health—not just functional correctness.
• Make quality assurance a continuous and visible part of normal engineering workflows.
• Use data from code and review practices to assess quality trends, risks, and codebase health.
• Provide leadership with clear, objective visibility into code quality and engineering maturity.
• Use insights to guide improvement, investment, and prioritization decisions without creating punitive behaviors.
• Partner closely with Application Security to ensure the security health of codebases is consistently assessed and improved.
• Ensure security expectations are embedded into code quality practices and development workflows.
• Support a coordinated view of code quality, risk, and security posture across the enterprise.
• Partner with architecture, security, platform, and engineering leaders who define engineering standards and excellence.
• Act as the execution arm that ensures those expectations are reflected in code and applied consistently.
• Influence adoption through clarity, enablement, and trusted partnership rather than mandates.
• Build and lead a high‑performing team focused on code quality assurance and codebase health outcomes.
• Set clear direction, empower ownership, and foster accountability and continuous improvement.
• Develop talent capable of operating at the intersection of engineering practice, data, and enterprise standards.
