About The Position

We are seeking a Software Engineering Manager to lead a team of engineers delivering high-quality software that powers our EHS platform. As a first-line manager, you will be responsible for your team’s delivery, health, and growth — staying close enough to the technical work to be a credible partner to engineers while driving outcomes across the product.
You will work closely with Product Management, QA, and peer engineering teams to plan and execute on commitments, remove blockers, and build a team culture of quality, ownership, and continuous improvement. 75% or more of this role is technical and being hands-on in code on a day to day basis.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience as a Software Engineer, ideally with SaaS applications
• 7+ years of experience with .NET Core, .NET Framework, or equivalent
• Prior experience mentoring or leading engineers
• Proficiency with technologies including C#, .NET, JavaScript, and Angular/TypeScript
• Working knowledge of MS SQL Server, SQL, and stored procedures
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or Cursor
• Solid understanding of Agile and Scrum methodologies
• Strong grasp of object-oriented programming principles
• Takes responsibility for team outcomes — doesn’t deflect to individuals or external circumstances
• Identifies and addresses team-level process or quality issues without being directed
• Actively developing as a manager — seeking feedback and building their craft
• Builds awareness of how the broader engineering organization operates
• Ability to work with a diverse team in a dynamic, remote setting

Nice To Haves

• EHSQ&S industry experience
• Mobile device testing knowledge
• Awareness of AI/LLM capabilities including agentic frameworks, RAG, vector databases, or MCP servers — enough to have informed conversations with your team and assess technical direction in this space
• University degree in a relevant technical field (or equivalent combination of education and experience)

Responsibilities

• Drive AI usage & adoption to improve quality, velocity and time to market.
• Drive technical and architectural decisions to meet product requirements while also anticipating and designing for future needs.
• Maintain sufficient technical depth to participate meaningfully in design discussions and code reviews
• Broad, deep understanding of the entire system architecture
• Assess complexity, risk, and quality of work in your team’s area of the codebase
• Identify when a technical approach is likely to cause problems, even when not writing code yourself
• Guide senior engineers toward subject matter expertise and best practices
• Drive automated testing practices to reduce manual testing overhead
• Stay current with technology trends to make credible decisions about scope, hiring, and technical direction
• Actively use AI-assisted development tools (such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or Cursor) to maintain hands-on technical credibility alongside your team
• Manage a team of Software Engineers, including task planning, recruitment, performance management, and career development
• Partner with and mentor the Scrum Master on ceremonies, helping the team understand the backlog from both a product and engineering perspective
• Give clear, timely feedback and actively support engineers in identifying and pursuing growth opportunities
• Coach each team member to excel in their role and build a meaningful career path
• Foster an inspiring, open, and highly productive team culture
• Champion the adoption of AI-assisted development practices within your team — coaching engineers on effective usage and factoring these tools into how work is scoped and planned
• Own your team’s delivery — plan work, manage dependencies, and keep commitments on track
• Identify and remove blockers before they affect the team’s output
• Maintain a clear picture of team commitments and communicate proactively when they are at risk
• Balance delivery pressure with sustainable pace and long-term quality
• Drive all aspects of development including requirements, design, implementation, testing, and integration
• Work closely with Product Management to understand and deliver features aligned with the product roadmap
• Collaborate cross-functionally with QA, product, and other engineering teams
• Communicate team priorities and context clearly to both engineers and stakeholders
• Raise issues and risks proactively rather than working around them

Benefits

• An opportunity to work in a values-driven, performance oriented, dynamic and growth focused culture
• We support a remote working environment with a one-time home office allowance and subsidized monthly internet allowance
• Competitive health benefits, dental plans, and retirement savings plan (RRSP, 401K plan etc.)
• Annual fitness allowance
• Mental health support provided through access to Calm Premium meditation app and access to Talkspace
• Access to learning tools & platforms, internal training programs, annual training allowance and certifications (if applicable), and High Talent Programs
