Job description

Artificial Intelligence. Actual Impact. At Docebo, we’re using AI to change how people learn at work—and we mean actually change it. We’re an AI-powered learning platform that helps organizations create, deliver, and manage training all in one place. But our real mission goes deeper: we help teams move faster, work smarter, and focus on the work that truly matters. Our platform is built with intelligent, time‑saving tools that personalize learning, eliminate busywork, and turn training from a checkbox into a superpower. The result? Better experiences for learners and real results for businesses.

What You’ll Do

• Drive High-Impact Initiatives: Lead complex, end-to-end, cross-functional product initiatives from problem framing through measurable business outcomes. Identify opportunities aligned with company strategy and turn them into shipped, scalable solutions.
• Shape Architecture & Technical Direction: Define and evolve architectural patterns across teams. Make long-term architectural decisions that improve scalability, reliability, and developer velocity. Reduce system complexity rather than add to it.
• Influence Product Strategy: Partner closely with Product and Design leaders to shape roadmaps, challenge assumptions, and ensure technical feasibility and leverage are built into strategic decisions.
• Create Leverage Through AI & Tooling: Institutionalize AI-assisted development practices. Design workflows, standards, and guardrails that allow teams to safely ship faster and operate with significantly higher output.
• Elevate Engineering Excellence: Raise the bar for code quality, CI/CD, observability, testing, and operational reliability. Identify systemic bottlenecks and eliminate them.
• Stay Close to Customers & Outcomes: Engage directly with customers and internal stakeholders to deeply understand pain points. Define metrics, design experiments, and ensure solutions deliver measurable impact.
• Mentor & Multiply: Coach engineers across teams on architecture, product thinking, and AI-enabled development. Influence without authority and lead through technical credibility.
• Navigate Ambiguity: Operate effectively in undefined spaces. Break down complex, multi-variable problems into executable plans with clear tradeoffs.

What We’re Looking For

• 10 - 12+ years of experience in full-stack software development, with a track record of building and shipping SaaS products end-to-end.
• You bring proficiency in PHP and Angular. Any experience with other languages like ... is also valued but you are willing to work with PHP and Angular.
• Mastery in AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or similar) and able to use them daily to dramatically accelerate output.
• Advanced using product analytics tools (PostHog, Amplitude, Mixpanel) and comfort with experimentation, feature flags, and A/B testing.
• Advanced CI/CD experience and familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS), containerization (Kubernetes), and observability practices.
• Expert ability to navigate ambiguity, solve complex problems, and make sound product and technical decisions with incomplete information.
• Exceptional experience mentoring developers and collaborating effectively across disciplines.
• Excellent communication skills — able to talk directly to both customers and stakeholders, and translate their needs into technical solutions.
• Bachelor's, Master’s, or PhD degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.

Our Hybrid Work Philosophy

Great work can happen anywhere but coming together helps us go further. Our team spends three days a week in the office (Tuesday-Thursday) to collaborate, solve problems, and learn from each other. With flexibility the rest of the week, it’s a balance designed to help everyone do their best work and keep growing.

Our Total Rewards Philosophy

• Rewarding Impact: We lead with competitive pay to reward the impact, skills and traits that fuel our success.
• Fostering Holistic Wellbeing: We care deeply about and invest in the whole person with programs that support our people’s physical, mental, and financial well‑being.
• Empowering Our Talent Culture: We build a culture of trust and empowerment by designing our rewards and benefits with transparency, equity, and flexibility, enabling our people to do their best work and stay for the long haul.

Our Promise to You

• Financial Wellness: Own a piece of Docebo through our Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP) at a 15% discount, plus a competitive compensation package.
• Your Well-Being, Covered: You’ll get access to health benefits, so you can get the care you need when you need it.
• Rest, Relax, Repeat: Rest and recharge with paid vacation days, two company-wide Docebo Days, floating holidays for cultural celebrations, and your birthday off.
• Family First: We provide coverage offering you time with your little one(s) so you can soak up all those precious moments. Fun fact: we had 30 Docebian babies join the family in 2025.
• Connections That Count: Connect with global communities through our Employee Resource Groups (including PRIDE, DWA, BIDOC, and Green Ambassadors) and company-wide events that keep the fun rolling all year long.
