Jobs in Guelph, Canada

About The Role:

We’re looking for an experienced Engineering Manager based in Latin America or Canada, with a strong background in mobile development, to lead one of our cross-functional product teams. You’ll work closely with product, design, and engineering leadership to deliver resilient, performant, and maintainable systems that scale.

You’ll foster an environment where engineers thrive, coaching for growth, driving clear execution, and maintaining a focus on velocity and quality. You delegate effectively, build clarity and trust, and guide people through both opportunities and challenges. You act early when something isn’t working, balancing compassion with accountability. As a manager, you’ll combine strong people leadership with technical oversight, ensuring sound design and architectural decisions, especially across our iOS and Android ecosystems.

What You'll do:

You’ll lead and contribute to a high-performance engineering culture where transparency, continuous feedback, and data-driven insights guide your coaching, process improvements, and experimentation with tools to enable the team’s success and growth.

• Lead a high-performing engineering team focused on shipping impactful features in a startup environment.
• Collaborate with product and design on roadmap execution and trade-offs.
• Provide technical guidance in discussions around architecture, system design, and mobile development.
• Mentor engineers, foster professional growth, and promote psychological safety.
• Drive agile practices, remove team pain points, reduce technical debt, and continuously improve delivery efficiency.
• Demonstrate a proactive, lean mindset, identifying bottlenecks and improvement areas in both process and technology, using coaching and agile leadership to enable continuous improvement.

What You’ll Bring To The Team:

You bring a self-motivated, highly engaged, resourceful, driven, and passionate leadership style focused on delivering results by empowering others and removing blockers, rather than being the critical path yourself.

• 5+ years of hands-on mobile development experience (iOS, Android, or both), building and delivering production apps with solid knowledge of mobile architecture, clean code, testing, and refactoring.
• 3+ years of engineering management experience leading agile software teams.
• Proven ability to balance execution speed, quality, and team health.
• Excellent communication and decision-making skills, able to mediate and guide technical debates effectively.
• Deep experience with agile software development, ideally including Scrum leadership or equivalent experience.
• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a closely related field.
• A proven track record of eliminating waste, whether in processes, meetings, or practices, while coaching low performers or making tough decisions to sustain a high-performing team.
• You create a motivated, high-trust team environment, balancing compassion with accountability to achieve outstanding results.
• Skilled in team development, including goal setting, effective delegation, coaching through challenges, and giving honest, respectful feedback. You act early when things aren’t working, supporting individuals and protecting the team.
• Strong critical thinking, problem-solving, and attention to detail.

Nice To Haves:

• Experience from multiple roles within an agile team.
• Technical leadership experience with coaching individuals and teams in writing testable code and refactoring.
• Demonstrates a deep understanding of mobile security best practices, including data encryption, user authentication, device firewalls and security software.
• Experience with mobile Continuous Integration, shift-left quality validation, and developer-owned quality practices, with a willingness to mentor and share that knowledge

How We Lead At Onfleet

We expect our managers to lead with trust, emotional intelligence, and a strong sense of ownership for outcomes. Execution is essential, but it’s achieved through delegation, support, and shared accountability, not by being the most active contributor.

Location:

• While we are headquartered in San Francisco, we are seeking candidates from Canada and Latin Americato apply for this remote-first position.
• Onfleet offers flexible work arrangements. You can work from home or anywhere with a reliable internet connection.
• The team works core hours within East Coast Time (EDT), so the ability to work within these hours is required.

Please note that compensation and benefits may vary by location in accordance with local market standards and legal requirements.
