Job description

We’re seeking a highly skilled Software Engineering Manager / Front End with deep expertise in Javascript/React.

At REW.ca, we believe real estate is one of life’s great adventures. As Canada’s leading real estate platform, we empower millions of Canadians to navigate their home search journeys with confidence. By combining innovative technology, deep market insights, and a seamless user experience, REW.ca empowers home seekers to find their perfect home. Our mission is to make real estate a more personal experience, guided by care, empathy, and innovation.

We’ve done this by carefully assembling a team of great people who have great ideas. One of those genius-level ideas is to make REW quite simply the best place in the world to work - and we’d like your help to get there.

And that’s where you come in.

We are looking for a Software Engineer Manager / Front-End who blends technical leadership with hands‑on development, architecture, and mentorship. This role will help shape the technology powering one of Canada’s most trusted destinations for home buyers and sellers.

As part of our team, you’ll architect scalable applications, design modern front‑end systems, and integrate a wide range of advanced data sets and services. Beyond building, you’ll play a critical role in mentorship, team leadership, and release management, raising the bar for both our codebase and our culture.

With a Great Role comes Great Responsibilities.

• Lead design and development and integration of front-end architectures using both rails native (haml) and React technologies, integrated with Ruby on Rails backends.
• Introduce integrated (FE/BE) architecture and development approaches to the team and delivery cycle.
• Architect and implement GraphQL-based integrations for scalable and efficient data access.
• Implement unit testing and integrate it with continuous integration tools as required.
• Establish and champion front‑end best practices, ensuring extensibility, performance, scalability, and maintainability.
• Provide technical mentorship and conduct thorough code reviews to raise the overall bar for the team.
• Collaborate closely with product, design, backend, infrastructure and data platform teams to deliver high‑quality, customer‑focused features.
• Own aspects of release management, ensuring smooth deployments and stable production environments.
• Act as a thought leader, influencing technical strategy and contributing to the team’s long‑term success.

Who you are is more important than where you’ve been.

Who we hope to find.

• Proven professional experience in React development.
• Advanced knowledge of front‑end architecture and design patterns.
• Proficiency in HTML5, SASS, CSS3, JavaScript (primarily React, along with CoffeeScript and ES6+).
• Experience with release management practices, CI/CD pipelines, and version control (Git).
• Expertise in GraphQL integrations and API design.
• Strong understanding of Postgres (schema design, performance tuning, queries).
• Demonstrated ability to lead teams, mentor developers, and conduct effective code reviews.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence technical and product decisions.
• Experience with scaling SaaS or proptech applications.
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS).
• Familiarity with Ruby on Rails and React integration and implementation.

Why Join Us?

• Be part of REW.ca, a leading proptech platform connecting millions of Canadian home seekers with their next property.
• Opportunity to shape the architecture and direction of a product at the forefront of the real estate technology space.
• Collaborate with a talented, mission‑driven team passionate about building intuitive, data‑rich, and engaging experiences for home buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals.
• Competitive compensation, benefits, and opportunities for professional growth in a fast‑evolving industry.

What we can offer you.

We understand that you probably skipped from the top right down to here. You’re only human, after all. Here’s the part you were looking for:

In addition to competitive compensation, we provide a comprehensive benefits package, the best equipment for you to do your best work, and awesome perks and team events to keep you connected. Annual compensation for this role is $115,000 - $165,000, depending on demonstrated experience.

Please note, this position requires part‑time, weekly on‑site availability at our Vancouver offices.
