Chef(fe) d'équipe / Team Leader - Software Development

Genetec • Montreal, QC

5d • Hybrid

About The Position

We're building the platform that powers how Genetec develops, deploys, and operates software across cloud and on-premises environments. We call it Engage. You'll lead the team that owns Engage's developer-facing experience: the portal, the service catalog, and the tooling that make the platform self-service and approachable for every developer at Genetec. Your team turns a powerful but complex platform into something developers can navigate on their own, from discovering services to scaffolding new workloads. When a developer interacts with Engage, they're interacting with what your team builds. You won't be writing code full-time, but you need enough technical depth to make sound trade-offs, guide architecture discussions, and earn your team's trust.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience
• Experience leading teams in a software development environment
• Strong interest in people leadership, delivery execution, and continuous improvement
• Comfortable navigating technical complexity: you can follow architecture discussions and ask the right questions
• Able to balance delivery pressure with sustainable, healthy team practices
• Strong organizational, communication, and prioritization skills
• Collaborative leader who builds trust, alignment, and ownership across teams
• Fluent in French and English, both verbal and written (this role requires interaction with our international collaborators and customers)

Nice To Haves

• Experience building developer portals, internal platforms, or developer tooling
• Familiarity with platform engineering, internal developer platforms (IDPs), or paved-road approaches
• A product mindset: treating developers as users and the platform as a product
• Experience with service catalogs, software templates, or scaffolding tooling
• Exposure to API design, contracts, and dependency modeling
• Experience with Kubernetes, container orchestration, or cloud-native infrastructure
• Exposure to hybrid cloud and on-premises deployment models
• Experience leading Agile or DevOps teams

Responsibilities

• Lead and support a team of software developers, fostering engagement, growth, and accountability
• Provide regular feedback, coaching, and support through one-on-ones and goal-setting
• Mentor team members and invest in their professional development
• Create a culture of trust, transparency, and ownership where the team is empowered to make decisions
• Participate in hiring, onboarding, and team growth initiatives
• Organize, monitor, and adapt team activities using Kanban
• Translate product direction and organizational priorities into clear, actionable plans
• Identify and remove obstacles, risks, and dependencies that impact delivery or team health
• Ensure accountability for quality, reliability, and a polished developer experience
• Coordinate with partner teams on shared dependencies and integration points
• Continuously improve team processes and ways of working
• Foster experimentation and adaptation: inspect what works, change what doesn't
• Treat developer feedback as a first-class signal and drive follow-up improvements

Benefits

• Attractive compensation package
• Training Tuition Reimbursement Program
• Work-life balance with a flexible working schedule
• Subsidized meals in our amazing Bistro (Les Cordons Bleus)
• Free, unlimited coffee and fruits
• Private, free parking for all employees
