Job description

Accountabilities:

• Define and drive a technical roadmap aligned with product objectives, strategically prioritizing engineering investments and adopting relevant technologies and methodologies.
• Lead and develop a distributed engineering organization operating across multiple countries and time zones.
• Facilitate communication across engineering, product, design, and other teams while identifying dependencies and resolving coordination challenges.
• Develop engineers and engineering managers through coaching, mentoring, performance management, clear expectations, and continuous feedback.
• Maintain the team's technical capabilities by encouraging learning and keeping practices aligned with industry developments.
• Guide teams in designing scalable, secure, reliable, and observable systems that meet business and technical requirements.
• Promote experimentation and telemetry-driven development to support rapid iteration and data-informed decision-making.
• Drive engineering excellence through automation, tooling, and standardized approaches to deployment, testing, and operations.
• Establish and improve reliability practices, incident response processes, service-level objectives, and post-incident reviews.
• Ensure postmortems result in systemic improvements rather than isolated fixes.
• Support thoughtful system design and dependency management across complex engineering environments.
• Help teams deliver high-quality developer tooling and code analysis capabilities across supported programming languages and technical ecosystems.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to establish shared understanding of technical direction, priorities, decisions, and progress.

Requirements:

• At least 6 years of experience in software engineering, computer science, or a related technical discipline, with demonstrated experience maintaining and delivering production software.
• Alternatively, relevant post-secondary education combined with the required professional experience, including an associate-level qualification with 5+ years, bachelor's degree with 4+ years, master's degree with 2+ years, or a doctorate in a relevant technical field.
• Equivalent combinations of education and professional experience may also be considered.
• At least 1 year of people management or technical team management experience.
• Production software development experience with languages such as C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Go, Ruby, Rust, or Python .
• Experience building developer tools that work directly with source code, such as compilers, parsers, linters, static analyzers, debuggers, CLI tools, or IDE extensions, is highly valuable.
• Knowledge of software security, including static or dynamic analysis, software supply-chain security, and secure software development practices, is preferred.
• Experience applying machine learning or large language models to source-code understanding or structured data, including prompt engineering and systematic AI evaluation, is an asset.
• Experience working with and leading distributed teams across multiple time zones, including recruiting, retention, performance management, coaching, mentoring, and expectation setting.
• Strong ability to collaborate across engineering, product, and design organizations and create alignment around technical direction and priorities.
• Knowledge of compilers, program analysis, programming language design, or programming language implementation is beneficial.
• Familiarity with logic programming or database query languages such as SQL, Prolog, Datalog, or Kusto Query Language (KQL) is an advantage.
• Experience integrating with CI/CD systems such as GitHub Actions or Jenkins and operating user-facing software at scale.
• Strong understanding of availability, observability, security, reliability, and operational excellence fundamentals.
• Strong communication, leadership, coaching, problem-solving, and organizational skills.

Benefits:

• Remote-first opportunity for candidates working from Canada.
• Competitive compensation aligned with experience, qualifications, skills, and geographic location.
• Annual salary range of $95,000–$115,000 CAD for the Canadian market, as stated in the original posting.
• Flexible remote work environment designed to support employees working across different locations.
• Opportunities for learning, professional development, coaching, and career growth.
• Exposure to advanced software security, code analysis, developer tooling, and AI technologies.
• Opportunity to lead a distributed engineering organization working across multiple time zones.
