Lead the delivery of customer focussed projects, working with design, product, sales and customer success teams to ensure their successful delivery.
Work with the product, design and technical teams to groom and prepare upcoming work for development.
● Be the go-to-person support and unblock the team technically and cross-functionally to ensure delivery of features, technical growth of the team and maintenance of the platform.
● Manage and mentor developers including 1-1s, day-to-day HR (vacations etc) and putting in place personal development plans to help others achieve their maximum potential.

Experience managing and scaling rapidly growing engineering teams.
B2B SaaS experience
A positive, “we can do that” attitude, backed by realistic estimates and expectations
Familiarity with our technology stack (Ruby on Rails, GraphQL, React JS, Postgres, AWS) is a plus, but not a requirement.
What We’ll Provide
Health and Dental Benefits – We care about our team and put their health first. We offer inclusive health and dental coverage with customizable plans and access to on-demand virtual healthcare.
Unlimited Vacations & Flexible Hours- People work best when they’re rested; take time off to recharge and make sure you’re working sustainably. We also offer flexible hours so you don’t need to worry if you need to finish early or just start and work later than most others. We celebrate achievements, not hours worked.
Fully Supported Remote Working – We’re a fully remote team with employees across Canada and the US and make sure employees are supported with a work from home allowance, access to co-working spaces, and team meetups where we get everyone together to share quality in-person time together.
Personal Development – We want everyone to meet their goals, both personal and professional. As well as regular one-on-ones with your manager to help you meet professional goals we also have a Personal Development Program with $500 available to cover courses in anything you might be interested in learning.
Opportunity and Adventure – We’re a fast-growing startup and there are a lot of opportunities for you to get involved in more than just what is covered in this job description. We hope you’re up for an adventure.
Interview Process
We have a simple and transparent three stage recruitment process – we move quickly and want to respect your time.
Step 1: Video call with the Hiring Manager (30 minutes)
Step 2: A technical interview via video call with two members of our engineering team. If you’re able to bring code from something you’re proud of and able to share we’d love to see it, and if not we have a short take-home assignment that should take 1-2 hours to complete. (1 hour)
Step 3: Video call with our CEO and founder (30 minutes) If all goes well we’ll make an offer!
We value diversity
Our dedication to promoting diversity, multiculturalism, and inclusion is clearly reflected in all of our work and interactions. Diversity is more than a commitment to us – it is the foundation of what we do. Our commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion is embedded in the daily fabric of everything we do, and in our lives here. We recognize, appreciate and celebrate Diversity of thought, experience, style and choice.
We are fully focused on equality and believe deeply in diversity of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, national origin, opinion, and all the other fascinating characteristics that make us different.
We also firmly believe that diverse teams build better companies and better products. We encourage applications from qualified candidates from all backgrounds, including candidates of colour, women, queer candidates, candidates with family caregiving responsibilities, immigrant candidates, transgender candidates, and candidates with disabilities.
