Using cutting-edge AI, we help companies deliver instant, intelligent, and personalized communication that drives growth and customer loyalty.

Who We’re Looking For

Alivo is hiring a Director of Engineering to help us build the future of AI-powered scheduling and communication tools for roofers. You’ll be the first engineering leader outside our technical founding team — playing a hands-on and strategic role as we scale.

What You'll Do

  • Write and review production code across our Django (backend) and React (frontend) stack — you’ll be deeply hands-on from day one
  • Own and manage releases, ensuring code quality, velocity, and reliability
  • Lead technical processes — run stand ups, shape sprints, and bring structure to our development workflows
  • Make architectural decisions as we scale — especially around backend infrastructure, performance, and integrations with LLMs
  • Collaborate closely with founders on product direction, prioritization, and technical trade-offs
  • Help build and mentor the team — shaping a strong engineering culture as we grow

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of backend-heavy experience, ideally with Django, React, and Postgres
  • Strong architectural instincts and clean coding habits
  • Experience managing or mentoring other engineers
  • Startup or fast-moving team experience preferred
  • Familiarity with LLMs, AI agents, or real-time communication systems is a plus
