Job description

Software Development Manager, Product Security

We are currently seeking a Software Development Manager to join our Engineering team. T his role is expected to spend approximately 50% of their time contributing directly to development efforts.

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.

Clio's Security teams are focused on protecting our customers, and building security features to secure the Clio platform. This role is a unique opportunity to straddle both product & security, delivering high impact features that enhance the security for our customers, and harden the Clio platform. We’re a collaborative team that works hard to protect some of the most important data in the world. And we're interested in individuals with high agency, a sense of curiosity, and the ability to handle ambiguity.

A day in the life might look like:

Understanding the challenges our customers face, identify the most impactful opportunities, and crafting 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 you have:

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; and

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; or

Have an interest in Security and leveling up that area of your craft.
