With over 20 years of expertise, we’re trusted by North America’s largest energy users, power producers, and utilities.

Why Join Rodan

• Thriving Industry: Join a rapidly growing sector at the forefront of innovation and sustainability, shaping the future of energy management.

You’ll work across modern Microsoft and Linux-based stacks, influence product direction, and ensure that engineering practices are robust, secure, and future-ready.

This role is ideal for a hands-on technical leader who thrives in a collaborative, mission-driven environment. You’ll have the autonomy to shape engineering culture, the support of a strong executive team, and the satisfaction of building systems that directly contribute to sustainability and grid modernization.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and oversee both software development and enterprise data services functions, ensuring alignment with business goals and delivery timelines.
• Provide technical oversight across backend development, DevOps, and data operations - ensuring scalable, secure, and high-performing systems.
• Provide oversight of electricity data acquisition hardware and ETL processes to ensure accurate, timely aggregation and submission of data to internal and external users.
• Guide solution architecture and technology direction, staying current with modern engineering practices and tools.
• Manage and mentor a team of developers and data professionals, including team leads and managers, fostering growth and accountability.
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to define product roadmaps, estimate delivery effort, and support investment planning.
• Ensure Agile practices are followed and delivery pipelines are optimized for speed, quality, and reliability.
• Serve as a key member of the management team and provide input on overall business direction, foster a positive work culture, and strong collaboration with other functional leaders.
• Attract and develop top talent.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• MUST HAVE: Familiarity with Microsoft and Linux-based technology stacks.
• Proven experience in a senior technology leadership role, ideally with oversight of both software development and data services.
• Strong understanding of backend development principles, DevOps practices, and Agile methodologies.
• Ability to assess code quality and system architecture without direct coding responsibilities.
• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Technology, or related field.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Local to the Greater Toronto Area with the ability to work onsite in Mississauga 2–3 days per week.
