Job description

Overview

Jobber exists to help people in small businesses be successful. We work with small home service businesses, like your local plumbers, painters, and landscapers, to transform the way service is delivered through technology. With Jobber they can quote, schedule, invoice, and collect payments from their customers while providing an easy and professional customer experience. Running a small business today isn’t like it used to be—the way we consume and deliver service is changing rapidly, technology is evolving, and customers expect more. That’s why we put the power and flexibility in their hands to run their businesses how, where, and when they want.

Our culture of transparency, inclusivity, collaboration, and innovation has been recognized by Great Place to Work, Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures, and more. Jobber has also been named on the Globe and Mail’s Canada’s Top Growing Companies list, and Deloitte Canada’s Technology Fast 50™, Enterprise Fast 15, and Technology Fast 500™ lists. With an Executive team that has over thirty years of industry experience of leading the way, we’ve come a long way from our first customer in 2011—but we’ve just scratched the surface of what we want to accomplish for our customers.

We help employees grow professionally; we have onboarding resources, tutorials, hackathons and buddies to support learnings and provide opportunities to innovate. We have a range of experience levels on teams which allows for mentor/mentee opportunities. Leaders at Jobber work with empathy and support employees to build healthy work-life harmony. Bring your dedication and passion to this job to fulfill your goals.

The Teams

You could join one of the following teams:

Subscription Infrastructure: Our team manages and improves the billing experience for internal and external stakeholders, ensuring customers can easily subscribe to our products. Beyond core billing systems and workflows, we enable teams to drive monetization and expansion through features like promotions and in-product marketing. Joining this team is an opportunity to build seamless experiences that drive business impact!

Harbour Foundations: This team is building the internal foundation for an AI-powered customer journey at Jobber. This team’s mission is to create scalable, intelligent systems that give GTM teams clear, actionable visibility into every AI-driven interaction — enabling more personalized, efficient, and proactive support across the entire customer lifecycle. As our AI footprint grows across Sales, Success, Support, and Onboarding, Harbour serves as the connective tissue that unifies these interactions, eliminates context gaps, and brings clarity to complex customer journeys. By centralizing fragmented tools and surfacing real-time insight into conversations, sentiment, and customer intent, the Harbour team is redefining how we observe, influence, and improve our AI-human hybrid workflows.

A portion of your time is allocated to Staff Dev Projects, which may include cross-team initiatives, work acceleration within your team, exploration of emerging technologies, addressing technical debt, or investing in the future of engineering at Jobber.

• Champion the development of consistent engineering practices and reusable code solutions to enhance overall efficiency
• Lead and facilitate group discussions to drive consensus on optimal solutions for complex customer problems

• Effectively communicate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences, bridging the gap between technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Provide mentorship and guidance to team members at all levels, fostering their professional growth and career development

To be successful, you should have

• Demonstrated expertise in developing highly scalable, robust software solutions across multiple layers of the technology stack
• Hands-on experience using tools like ChatGPT, Cursor, and Copilot in your workflow, refining how you balance AI-driven efficiency with the craft of software development
• Proven leadership experience in guiding teams through complex, high-impact projects and serving as a technical lead
• Exceptional proficiency in software design, architecture, and coding, with a focus on maintainability and performance
• Outstanding collaboration and communication skills, coupled with the ability to significantly amplify the team’s productivity and effectiveness through mentorship/coaching
• Strong self-motivation and resourcefulness, with the capacity to independently identify and leverage necessary resources for project delivery and problem-solving
• Ability to navigate ambiguity and prioritize tasks effectively in dynamic, fast-paced environments
• Passionate commitment to continuous learning and professional growth, with a track record of staying current with emerging technologies and industry trends

Nice to have

• Experience with our development stack: React, React Native, TypeScript, GraphQL API layer, and Ruby on Rails on AWS.
• Led cross-team initiatives and projects
