About the Role

Our team owns a key part of the customer experience, with a mission to deliver value every time a customer engages with our product.

You Have:

  • An Engineering Manager within commuting distance of the Burnaby, BC office.

  • Demonstrated aptitude and judgment for applying AI to developer productivity and, ideally, product features — including enabling safe AI tool adoption on the team.
  • Ability to design secure, scalable, performant software and give constructive feedback on team designs.
  • A track record coaching developers via mentoring, reviews, and retrospectives.
  • Strong partnership skills with product and design stakeholders — communicating technical tradeoffs and applying product judgment to reach the best customer outcomes.
  • Experience recruiting and growing engineering teams from the ground up.
