What a total hero that Director of Engineering is! Told by the CEO to do something immoral and he just flatly refuses!

This good, courageous person should be honored.

imagine if all engineers had a moral backbone and stuck with it, not just in outright fraud cases, but in how tech is shaped and impacts society.

The argument one "has to pay the bills" is silly and self-serving. All professionals have to pay the bills. There is something like a sectoral ethos and culture. Technies probably not the worst offenders (that would be the banking sector) but with tech seeping in everywhere it matters more and more.
