Technical Director

Reports to: Head of EngineeringRole type: People and Craft LeaderFunction: Engineering

Overview

Webstacks is looking for a senior technical craft leader to set the standard for how we architect, build, and ship enterprise web experiences.

As Webstacks has grown its portfolio of upper mid-market and enterprise B2B technology clients, the technical complexity and ambition of our work has grown with it. We are increasingly solving challenges that span modern web architecture, headless CMS platforms, complex migrations, performance, accessibility, integrations, and emerging AI-assisted development workflows. The opportunity now is to bring stronger technical leadership and consistency to that work across the portfolio.

The Technical Director will serve as the senior technical voice across Webstacks’ client delivery organization. This person will partner with Account Leadership, Strategy, Design, Engineering, Program Management, and Operations to translate ambitious client goals into technical approaches our teams can execute with confidence, while turning Webstacks’ own ambitions into clear technical standards, practices, and expectations for how we work. They will define what great technical delivery looks like at Webstacks and ensure our architecture, engineering practices, tooling, and ways of working continue evolving to meet that standard.

Across the portfolio, the Technical Director will strengthen our architecture, engineering practices, and approach to modern web development while enabling our engineering teams to do their best work. On select flagship engagements, they may serve as the lead technical authority, staying close enough to the work to ensure strategic and creative intent carries through implementation.

This is a director-level craft leadership role. It does not exist to manage every technical decision or become a bottleneck for delivery. Impact comes through technical judgment, client credibility, engineering enablement, and the ability to establish standards and patterns that make the quality of Webstacks’ technical work stronger and more consistent as we scale.

At its core, the role exists to raise the technical ceiling of Webstacks’ client work, ensuring we can take on increasingly ambitious and complex engagements while continuing to ship modern web experiences that are fast, scalable, maintainable, and exceptionally well built.

Partner closely with Strategy and Design so IA, UX, content architecture, design systems, and creative decisions translate effectively into implementation without unnecessary compromise or rework.
