Head of Engineering
Rex is a billion-dollar technology, investment, and real estate company led by Executive Chairman Peter Rex. We are launching a number of stealth tech companies within the Rex ecosystem, and our mission is to leverage technology to transform industries and key players that have been historically underserved, starting with real estate.
We are hiring a Head of Engineering that understands the strategy and implementation of the 0-1 build out, but also understands how companies prepare for scale. You have high ownership in solving complex problems, strategically think through how to evolve, train, and grow your engineering team, and inspire team members through your strong work ethic. You’re passionate about building new technologies that can serve people and can effectively lead and manage the teams that create them. You have an extreme bias to action and have never been accused of being overly analytical. You’re smart enough to identify and forthright enough to cut through any BS, both upwards and laterally.

- Hire and mentor A+ engineering talent, both local and outsourced
- Oversee and provide technical guidance to engineering teams and senior management of Rex launches
- Lead the engineering team in setting goals, managing timelines, and building high-quality, well-architected code
- Maintain the extremely fast-paced demands of a startup while ensuring we build quickly, yet always in a way that doesn’t preclude scaling
- Be a tenacious thought partner to the founder in ensuring the platform is built well to meet both short term goals and long term durability and growth
- Spearhead project management and drive engineering teams in running sprints, reviewing code, etc.
- Communicate effectively and clearly to multiple stakeholders: engineers, operations, and executive teams
- Influence the teams to greatness and achieve the impossible
Who you are:
- 10+ years of software engineering experience
- 5+ years of Engineering Leadership experience
- Experience working in a startup environment
- Manage and lead teams of 30+ engineers
- Roll up your sleeves and dive into the code for reviews, run sprints, train, and mentor engineers
- Strong track record of building and driving world-class engineering teams
