AXS•Los Angeles, CA

2d•Hybrid

About The Position

We're looking for a Sr. Director of Engineering to lead and grow the team behind AX's next generation of B2B tools. You will lead the team on a multi-year journey building best-in-class applications that enable our live event customers to create, configure, sell, and manage events. You'll partner closely with your product counterpart to shape both the direction of the product and the underlying technology that makes it possible; sequencing the work, derisking the hard problems, and making the architectural calls that serve fans and clients at scale. This is a high-growth, fast-paced charter: the demands on the platform are growing quickly, and your job is to build the team and the systems to stay ahead of that demand. Just as importantly, you'll grow the people under you — developing engineers and emerging leaders so the team's bench deepens as the charter expands. This is a hands-on position where you will drive results through small teams of highly capable people and through leveraging AI to scale yourself and your teams.
