6d•CA$170,000 - CA$200,000•Remote

About The Position

Schema App is a fast-growing, profitable SaaS company headquartered in Guelph, Ontario, with a team across Canada. We’re a collaborative group driven by a shared mission: to become a global leader in enterprise marketing technology and help organizations future-proof for the age of AI. We work with some of the world’s recognized enterprises—including SAP, Wells Fargo, and Henry Ford Health—to give them control over how their brand is understood and represented by AI across search and digital experiences. At our core, we believe that in the age of AI, a brand is only as strong as the data behind it and the connections within it. As search evolves into AI-driven and agent-led experiences, that foundation matters. We build the infrastructure enterprises need to control how they show up in AI today and compete in the agentic web tomorrow—driving growth, protecting the brand, and leading the next generation of digital experiences.

Requirements

Broad technical fluency across modern SaaS (cloud, APIs, data stores, CI/CD, observability); depth in at least one of Architecture, DevOps, Infrastructure, or Security.
Proven people leadership: accountability, engagement, coaching, and timely talent decisions when the bar isn’t met.
Strong agile execution—continuous delivery and improvement without ceremony for its own sake.
Comfort with enterprise context: security, compliance, and customer scrutiny as normal parts of shipping.
Excellent communication with technical and non-technical partners; organized and proactive on operational work.

Responsibilities

Lead engineers day to day: clear priorities, coaching, feedback, and performance conversations aligned with Schema App values.
Own execution against the plan of record—balancing scope, capacity, and quality; surfacing risks early.
Facilitate agile ceremonies (backlog refinement, sprint planning, retros) and partner with Product on backlog health and sprint goals.
Support hiring and onboarding; contribute to interview loops and team growth.
Provide hands-on guidance on implementation, architecture trade-offs, and production discipline—enough to unblock and coach, without being the default implementer for everything.
Champion quality practices: testing, observability, CI/CD, and blameless learning from incidents.
Work closely with Product, Customer Success, and leadership on priorities, escalations, and realistic commitments.
Help route customer-impacting issues clearly so engineering isn’t the accidental catch-all.
Oversee MSP-managed internal support: reliable employee experience, escalation handling, and onboarding.
Maintain SOC 2–aligned IT controls (access reviews, device compliance, incident response) with audit-ready evidence.
Ensure secure, scalable access management and consistent onboarding/offboarding across systems.
