Pixellot’s consumer applications reach millions of users globally - parents streaming their kids’ games, clubs monetizing content, and coaches analyzing performance. We’re looking for a hands-on Director of Engineering to lead our Consumer Applications domain, owning OTT and Coaching Analytics across web and mobile platforms.

This is a high-impact role at the intersection of consumer experience, engineering leadership, and business. You’ll lead multiple multidisciplinary teams, stay close to the technology, and shape a cohesive end-to-end product with a strong frontend-first, UX-driven bar- while challenging architectural decisions and partnering closely with Product and Design.

You’ll join a strong R&D leadership team driving an AI-first transformation, and lead teams that ship with high standards, clear ownership, and relentless focus on what users actually feel.

As Part Of Your Role, You Will

  • Define and execute the technical roadmap for OTT, Monetization, and Coaching Analytics platforms serving millions globally.
  • Partner closely with Product and Design to align technical priorities with user and business needs.
  • Lead 2–4 multidisciplinary engineering teams (web, mobile, backend), managing managers while staying hands-on when needed.
  • Architect and evolve full-stack solutions that handle live video and consumer-scale workloads, with clear ownership over frontend quality and user experience.
  • Review designs and code, mentor engineers, and jump into implementation or POCs when required.
  • Balance innovation with pragmatism - ship fast, measure impact, and iterate based on real user behavior.
  • Foster a culture of ownership, autonomy, and high engineering standards during an ongoing transformation.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of engineering experience, including at least 4+ years leading multiple engineering teams (manager of managers).
  • Strong background in consumer-facing applications, with a clear frontend and UX orientation (Web and Mobile).
  • Proven experience leading teams that shipped end-to-end consumer products - from development to production and app store deployment.
  • Full-stack background with a strong frontend orientation, plus solid understanding of backend systems, AWS, DevOps, and real-time video processing.
  • Ability to challenge architectural decisions, evolve systems, and lead technical direction.
  • Hands-on leadership approach - comfortable reviewing designs and code, mentoring engineers, and jumping into implementation or POCs when needed.
  • Strong UX instincts with attention to performance - fast load times, smooth interactions, and a polished user experience.
  • Strong product intuition and collaboration skills - focused on solving real user problems and translating them into clear technical priorities with Product and Design.
  • Experience working in SaaS / Web-based companies.

Bonus Points If You Have

  • Entrepreneurial background or experience building products from scratch.
  • Strong AI-first or spec-driven development mindset.
  • Experience leading hybrid or distributed teams.
  • Passion for sports or experience in sports media / video platforms.

Why You'll Love Working Here

  • Real Impact: Your decisions affect millions - from parents watching Friday night games to coaches gaining competitive advantage.
  • Technical Challenges: Real-time video on a global scale, consumer apps balancing simplicity with power, AI features that feel magical.
  • Strong Team: Collaborate with R&D directors driving transformation and engineers who think strategically about customer problems.
  • Ownership & Growth: Define technical roadmap, shape engineering culture during pivotal transformation, influence product strategy beyond execution.
  • World-Class Problems: Build for users who genuinely care - parents, coaches, athletes who depend on getting it right.
