- Project Manager : Balance multiple claim deadlines and client relationships in a fast-paced, remote-first environment.
- Stay Compliant : Keep current on CRA SR&ED guidelines and ensure deliverables reflect the latest standards and best practices.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science , Software Engineering, or related technical discipline (Master’s/PhD preferred).
- 2+ years of experience preparing SR&ED claims —either in-house or with a consultancy.
- Excellent writing, editing, and research skills.
- Strong grasp of software development lifecycles, system architecture, algorithms, and technical experimentation.
