About the Role

ThoughtSpot is looking for a bold, technically fearless Director of Engineering to lead the Connected Insights track — the heart of ThoughtSpot's visualization, navigation, and frontend experience. This track spans three high-impact teams: FE Infra (module federation, client caching, build systems, performance, and developer platform tooling), Charts (the rendering engine for ThoughtSpot's visualization library, from core charting primitives to agent-driven chart configuration via the Answer API), and Liveboard (the primary interactive canvas in ThoughtSpot — architecture, presentation & interactivity, agent integration, and the AI-driven Liveboard experience).
This is a pivotal moment for the Connected Insights track. The frontend tech stack is deep and contemporary — React, GraphQL, module federation, complex state management — and the architecture is ready for a thoughtful rethink. We need someone who will question assumptions, challenge the status quo,



and bring the curiosity and technical horsepower to redesign for the next era of ThoughtSpot's scale and AI-first product vision.
Equally important: the bug backlog is real. This leader must approach quality differently — not just as a process checkbox, but as an engineering culture and operational discipline that the team owns and takes pride in.

What You'll Do

Lead & Scale Three FE-Heavy Teams
• Own the engineering roadmap, headcount, and technical vision for FE Infra, Charts, and Liveboard — three teams with deep React and TypeScript DNA.
• Be an active presence in architecture forums and design reviews — not just signing off, but shaping technical direction hands-on.
• Build and develop engineering managers and senior ICs into the next generation of ThoughtSpot leaders.
• Hire relentlessly for intellectual curiosity, ownership mindset, and frontend depth.

Rethink the Architecture
• Audit the current architecture across module federation, client cache design, state management, rendering performance
