We seek a highly motivated Engineering Director to build and scale an AI-first, agentic-first GEICO Enterprise Platform that measurably improves associate experience while meeting enterprise standards for availability, reliability, performance, and compliance.
Location: Preference is for the candidate to be based in Seattle or Dallas.
Reports To: Head of Enterprise Experience Engineering Technology
As a successful Geico Enterprise Engineering Director, you will:-
- Deliver measurable business impact by shipping prioritized enterprise experience capabilities on schedule, with clear adoption and outcome metrics.
- Provide a scalable, performant platform (services + onboarding) that enables teams to integrate quickly, with standardized patterns and reusable components.
- Validate AI/agentic solutions through rapid POCs and production pilots, documenting learnings, risks, and recommended standards for enterprise reuse.
- Modernize and migrate targeted platform components to the public cloud to improve elasticity, cost efficiency, and time-to-scale.
- Define and socialize reference architectures, best practices, and implementation playbooks that raise consistency and delivery velocity across partner teams.
- Improve operational health by increasing automation for common failure modes and reducing repeat incidents through durable engineering fixes.
- Execute predictable delivery via agile planning and transparent reporting of scope, risks, dependencies, and platform scale/performance requirements.
- Raise engineering quality by enforcing code standards, reviews, and performance best practices across the platform.
- Deliver end-to-end observability by instrumenting telemetry, dashboards, and alerting from day one for all critical services.
- Use telemetry and customer-of-IT (associate) signals to make data-driven design tradeoffs and demonstrate improvements over time.
Preferred Experience:- 3+ years leading and developing high-performing engineering teams, with evidence of delivery and measurable outcomes.
- 7+ years building enterprise software in one or more languages (e.g., Java, C#, C/C++), with strong object-oriented design fundamentals.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Sience, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent experience).
- Proven ability to design globally distributed systems (queuing/workflows, load balancing, caching, storage, and service-to-service communication) with reliability and scale in mind.
- Working proficiency in data/query and automation tooling (e.g., T-SQL, JavaScript/TypeScript, PowerShell) to enable self-service, operational excellence, and repeatable delivery.
