If you are local to one of our hubs (Burnaby, Calgary, or Toronto) you will be expected to be in office minimum twice per week on one of our Anchor Days.

At Clio we strive to be both human and high performing. For Development Managers this means supporting and growing your people, strong execution as a team and as a triad (the teams Designer + Product + Development manager leadership group), and building solid technical solutions.

They coach and build their teams to be both strong technically and strong team members. They create a safe and productive environment for all Clions.

A day in the life might look like:

Collaborating with your triad to: understand the challenges our business faces, identify the most impactful opportunities, and craft a roadmap for the team

Working with your team on designing the technical solutions

Giving great feedback on code reviews, architecture documents, and more to help support team members making great technical decisions for their projects

You may be a fit for this role if:

A strong background in hands-on software development

Diverse base of knowledge that allows you to help your team solve complex technical problems

The ability to describe successful projects you worked on, as well as a collection of lessons learned from failed projects

Demonstrated ability to hire the best and brightest engineers in a fast-paced job market—and to coach, develop, and retain engineering talent; You are equally energized by both your own technical work as well as contributing to the career growth of your team

You have strong opinions that are weakly held, and foster that same attitude in others

You believe in providing honest, actionable feedback to your team, and encourage your team to reciprocate

You devise roadmaps to guide your team, but aren't beholden to them -- you easily adapt to a constantly changing world
