Job description

We are currently seeking a Software Development Manager to join our Platform Engineering team. This role is available to candidates across Canada (excluding Quebec). If you are local to one of our hubs (Burnaby, Calgary, or Toronto) you will be expected to be in office minimum two days per week for 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. Our development managers are highly technical and hands on, often coding, designing and reviewing alongside their team. 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.

The Platform Data Ubiquity team builds and operates systems that make create/read/update/delete operations on common objects (ex. users, contacts, etc.) available to all products in the Clio ecosystem. We take a long-term view of integration, meeting Clio’s products where they are today while also investing in future Clio Platform capabilities, which means that we work with a broad range of technologies, architectures, data stores, and development frameworks.

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;
• Actively participating as a contributor to the project, either through extensive code reviews, or shipping code;
• Having a 1:1 meeting with your direct reports to make sure they are supported in their career growth and development goals;
• Actively participating in hiring to grow engineering team at Clio;
• Reviewing code contributed by members from your team or other Clio developers reaching out to you for your experience with a given technology or pattern.

You may be a fit for this role if:

• Demonstrated success in people leadership in software development, particularly with large scale SaaS products;
• 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.

Serious bonus points if you have:

• A philosophy on what makes for great software development teams;
• Experience with CRM products at scale;
• Experience with Ruby on Rails.

What you will find here:

Compensation is one of the main components of Clio’s Total Rewards Program. We have developed a series of programs and processes to ensure we are creating fair and competitive pay practices that form the foundation of our human and high-performing culture.

Some highlights of our Total Rewards program include:

• RRSP matching and RESP contribution;
• Clioversary recognition program with special acknowledgement at 3, 5, 7, and 10 years.
