Senior AI-Driven Development Acceleration Lead

Jane; Canada; Remote; CAD 190,000 - 309,000; Full time

Job summary

Jane is seeking a Director of Engineering to lead the Dev Acceleration team and drive AI-enabled development across the organization. You will work closely with engineers to understand their coding challenges and guide transformational change with clear, candid communication.

You will champion AI-assisted methods, coach a senior team, and partner with product teams to ensure experiments solve real problems. The role is remote-first across Canada, the US, and the UK.

Qualifications

• You understand the active code-writing problem and what developers on product teams face day to day, because you have worked close to the code yourself.
• You have led this kind of transformation for development work before, and held or raised the quality bar while doing it.
• You are a strong communicator with a software evangelist's energy and real experience leading organizational change. You can explain the problem you're solving and how, and keep people excited along the way.
• You are a strong collaborator who can set a team up for deep, real enablement with product teams.
• You are a pragmatic operator who gets into the weeds of measuring progress and defining success, then fits it into a strategy that lands. You work iteratively and get us to a baseline fast, so longer-term choices are made with confidence.

Responsibilities

• Lead and coach a small, senior team of engineers who explore new AI approaches on their own, then come back together to build.
• Champion AI-assisted development across engineering, bringing teams along with clear and honest communication.
• Partner with developers across Jane to understand how they write code today, so every experiment solves a real problem for them.
• Shape how we measure progress, so we move faster without lowering the quality bar.
• Connect the people across Jane who are already experimenting with AI, so what one person learns helps everyone.
