The Team

Jobber’s Engineering team is looking for a new Senior Leader to spearhead the Business Technology (BizTech) group. At Jobber our BizTech group is responsible for driving the transformation of our customer’s journey into a unified end-to-end experience. We do this by building systems and tooling that support personalized in-product customer experiences that are connected with our internal product that serves our go-to-market (GTM) teams powered by rich customer data, industry best practices, and AI.

Jobber’s Biztech Group is composed of 4 teams and looks after our Subscription Infrastructure, Harbour - our new internal GTM enablement product, Marketing Engineering, and Customer Success Engineering.

The role

Reporting to the Director, Software Engineering, the Senior Manager, Software Engineering - BizTech will manage Engineering Managers and Individual Contributors to support and develop their skills and careers, as we work together to empower small businesses.

As the Senior Engineering Leader of our Business Technology Group, you will drive the development and maintenance of the technologies and features that empower internal teams across Jobber, while also contributing to customer-facing innovations that support our mission.

You’ll work alongside peers from Design, Product Management, Technical Program Management, and the rest of the Engineering Leadership team to ensure the foundations we build help us build delightful software for home and field service companies.

The Senior Manager, Software Engineering will

• Live and breathe operational excellence. You want to work with your manager(s) to help them master their individual crafts, while also collaborating to build extraordinary experiences and systems.
• Be committed to the success of the teams within your group. You will help them set goals, have regular 1-on-1s, and provide constructive feedback and coaching to ensure your team's success. You’ll work to understand employees’ career direction and work to empower their journey by acting as a mentor and coach.
• Develop a world-class group of teams alongside a world-class organization. You’ll participate in recruiting events and the hiring process while also working to level up your internal team, while implementing new processes, all to develop a world-class Engineering department.
• Remove roadblocks and build guardrails. You’ll work with the other leaders to create and maintain an environment where people can rapidly produce top-quality work that ultimately helps our customers be successful.
• Collaborate with other stakeholders across the business. Whether it’s our Management teams within Product, or our GTM teams, you’re working closely with other Jobberinos to find the best solutions in Jobber for small businesses.
• Get involved once a quarter, writing software with your teams to build empathy and stay ahead of changing technology.
• Utilize AI tools to enhance development practice. At Jobber, we use AI tools to complement human skills and augment productivity, not to replace human creativity, critical thinking, and decision-making.

To be successful, you should have

• A track record of success as an established software engineer, as well as time spent in a leadership position, with experience leading multiple teams and Engineer Managers in delivering quality software.
• You’re not always the most technical person in the room, but you can keep up in technical conversations, help guide your teams in solving hard problems, and help create a technical strategy for your group.
• You love creating new and innovative products and find challenges and satisfaction in both product and systems thinking.
• Experience working in an agile environment, with a demonstrated ability to lead teams in adapting to change while applying critical and creative thinking to solve problems.
• Effective written and oral communication. Being transparent with your team and establishing an open dialogue will be key to success in supporting your coaching conversations and discussions.
• Collaboration down to an art. You’ll work with your direct reports and other teams to understand what they want to accomplish and develop a plan to achieve it.
• A thoughtful and effective approach to performance management
• Experience using developer AI tools like Copilot or Cursor.

Highly Desired, but not a dealbreaker

• Familiarity using our tech stack: Ruby on Rails, TypeScript, and/or React (React Native for mobile is a plus) in a production environment.
• Familiarity with GraphQL, API Layer, and its optimization.
• Some basic AWS knowledge (e.g., Lambda, ECS, EC2).
• Proven experience leading 3+ teams as a manager of managers.
• Familiarity with GTM tooling like Salesforce and HubSpot.

Compensation

At Jobber, we also believe that compensation should be transparent, fair, and supportive of your experience and growth. This role has a minimum annual salary of $196,300 CAD, a midpoint of $230,900 CAD, and a maximum salary of $265,600 CAD, designed to reflect the progression from learning the ropes to truly excelling.

We design our compensation to reflect each new hire's skills, experience, and the complexity of the role, ensuring a fair and competitive salary. Our range is intentionally broad to support growth and long-term impact, with fully established hires typically starting around the midpoint. The higher end of the range is reserved for those who have demonstrated deep expertise and lasting contributions, while offers below the midpoint reflect strong potential with room to develop. This approach ensures that compensation aligns with both an individual's current capabilities and their opportunity for future growth.

We believe in transparency and open conversations about compensation. If you have any questions about our approach, we're happy to discuss them throughout the hiring process!

What you can expect from Jobber:

• A total compensation package that includes an extended health benefits package with fully paid premiums for both body and mind, retirement savings plan matching, and stock options.
• A dedicated Talent Development team and access to coaching, learning, and leadership programs to help you grow your career, reach your goals, and unlock your full potential.
• Support for all your breaks: from vacation to rest and recharge, your birthday off to celebrate, health days to support your physical and mental health, and parental leave top-ups to support your growing family.
• A unique opportunity to build, grow, and leave your impact on a $400-billion industry that has no dominant player...yet.
• To work with a group of people who are humble, supportive, and care about our customers.

Diversity and inclusion: We believe that diverse teams perform better and that fostering an inclusive work environment is a key part of growing a successful team. We are an equal opportunity employer and are committed to working with applicants requesting accommodation at any stage of the hiring process.
