Job Description:
Crossover is the world's #1 source of full-time remote jobs. Our
clients offer top-tier pay for top-tier talent. We're recruiting
this role for our client, gt.school. Have you got what it
takes?
Are you an accomplished software architect who is hitting a ceiling
in your company? Are you looking for the next step, perhaps a
bridge to a high-level CTO role? If so, GT School is looking to
build the next generation of educational software for gifted and
talented ("GT") children, and we have a role for you!
We are GT School, and we are going to change gifted and talented
lives forever. We believe educational software has become stale,
and gifted children are missing out on enrichment that could change
the trajectory of their future. We want to make the next generation
of educational software for the top 10% of young learners.
This role requires you to make long-term, strategic technical
architecture decisions for our portfolio of educational products.
You will review specs from Product CTOs and manage a specific
portfolio of products. We're creating an educational software
metaverse, and your decisions should last over a 10-year
horizon.
If you're deeply technical - and you believe you have a great sense
of where technology is trending and what it can do for gifted
education - then we want to hear from you!
What You Will Be Doing
Create full specs: learn about problems facing users and then make
important technical and long-term architectural decisions using
logic, data, and domain knowledge
Coaching: provide written, technical, and actionable feedback to
authors of technical specifications to improve the quality of their
work
What You Won't Be Doing
Managing an engineering team's day-to-day work
Making decisions without careful logic or showing your work
Speaking to customers
Technical Director Key Responsibilities
This role delivers a simplified product architecture via a series
of important technical decisions to define a long-term roadmap for
a next-generation educational software product and its features
Basic Requirements
Experience as the most senior technical design decision-maker for a
software engineering organization of at least 150 people
15+ years of experience making important architecture and design
decisions on software projects
2+ years of experience writing production-quality code
About Gt.school

center of educational innovation in the US. We are building an
online community focusing on the most underserved customer base in
US education - gifted and talented (GT) kids. We are a remote first
company who hires globally via Crossover.
There is so much to cover for this exciting role, and space here is
limited. Hit the Apply button if you found this interesting and
want to learn more. We look forward to meeting you!
