Director, Engineering – Digital Experience Monitoring

Responsibilities

We are representing a confidential observability platform client seeking a Director of Engineering to lead their Digital Experience Monitoring organization in Paris. In this role, you will:

• Own engineering for one or more product areas within digital experience monitoring, with scope calibrated to your background and strengths
• Manage 50-60 engineers through a layer of Engineering Managers in a manager-of-managers capacity
• Shape the product roadmap alongside leadership rather than simply executing against it—push back on, iterate on, and help author the strategy for your area
• Drive AI adoption across the engineering organization, from tooling and workflows to product features and team practices
• Navigate cross-team dependencies across monitoring, platform, AI infrastructure, and data science teams
• Build and retain engineering talent in Paris, mentor Engineering Managers toward Director readiness, and participate in the on-call rotation

What We're Looking For

Our talent team is seeking candidates who bring:

• Required: Direct experience managing Engineering Managers, not just individual contributors—this is non-negotiable for the role
• Deep integration of AI into how you lead and how your teams build, treating AI-first thinking as core engineering practice
• A track record of shaping product decisions, not just executing against specifications
• Experience with large-scale, event-driven or data-intensive backend systems—ingestion pipelines, high-throughput APIs, or time-series/event data at scale
• Full-stack or frontend-adjacent experience; this role supports SDK-heavy, browser- and mobile-facing products
• Comfort operating in English in a cross-Atlantic organization, and you must be based in Paris or open to relocating there (French is not required)
• Clear growth path to Senior Director for the right candidate
