About the role:
Join Dashlane as a Director of Engineering and take part in a mission to create a beautiful and scalable application with global impact.

Coach and grow engineering managers and individual contributors through candid feedback, structured career conversations, and a commitment to building teams people want to stay on;
Systematically improve ways of working — including accelerating AI adoption across the SDLC — by introducing new practices that measurably change team behavior;
Actively build Dashlane's technical brand in the local engineering community through thought leadership, event participation, and network development, turning visibility into a long-term recruiting advantage
