Job description

Orum is making sales human again through conversations. We are an AI-driven, live conversation platform that accelerates sales teams by empowering salespeople to achieve more. Orum increases sales efficiency, speeds up pipeline growth, and lowers customer acquisition costs for various companies ranging in size from start-ups to large enterprises. Sales teams using Orum see consistent conversations, more meetings booked, and shorter rep ramp time - all while having fun and not burning out. We are beyond excited to hire an empowered, remote-first community to support Orum's next growth phase!

Our Mission is to accelerate sales teams by empowering salespeople to achieve more.

Our Vision is to be an iconic company that makes work more human, meaningful, and connected.

Orum's Engineering Team plays a pivotal role in driving our vision forward. We're tackling some of the toughest challenges sales teams face, and there’s still so much to build. That’s where you come in. In this role, you’ll lead, mentor, and collaborate on a product that’s loved by customers and makes a meaningful difference in their lives.

This is not your typical Engineering Manager role—it’s impactful, dynamic, and hands-on. You’ll spend 80% of your time empowering and scaling a world-class team through leadership, coaching, and performance management. The other 20%? Diving into technical challenges, unblocking your team, contributing to PRs, and ensuring engineering excellence. It’s a perfect fit for someone passionate about people leadership who still loves to flex their technical chops.

Our current technology stack includes NodeJS with Typescript, React, Postgres, Google Cloud Platform, and FreeSWITCH.

Candidates must be based in Canada. This position is not open to other countries at this time.

Salary: $200,000 - $250,000 CAD. If you are selected, we'll make an offer within this range that matches the experience you are coming with. We respect your time and don't intend to waste it.

Did you know? Research indicates men often apply for jobs if they meet just 60% of the criteria, but women and other underrepresented groups usually wait until they check every box. Let's change this pattern! If you see yourself fitting into this role, even without ticking all the boxes, we'd love to hear from you. At Orum, we value diverse perspectives and are excited to consider how your unique skills could contribute to our team's success.

What You'll Do:

• Hire and manage a team of talented engineers, helping them achieve their full potential.
• Collaborate with leadership to define and communicate the product vision and technical architecture to your team.
• Shape and delegate engineering tasks, ensuring clarity, alignment, and progress.
• Act as a coach, mentor, and unblocker—reviewing work, solving problems, and enabling your team to thrive.
• Set and maintain a high bar for technical rigor through well-tested, clean, and maintainable code.

Must Have:

• 2+ years managing engineering teams that have shipped high-value SaaS products.
• Deep appreciation for clean, well-factored, and well-tested code—and the ability to coach your team to deliver it.
• Passion for growing and mentoring engineers.
• Hands-on experience with the TypeScript/NodeJS/Linux stack and SQL with RDBMS.

• Experience at a startup or high-growth company
• Experience with cloud infrastructure programming with AWS, GCP, or Azure
