You will typically be the technical lead for a team or a large technical domain, work closely with cross-functional teams on team roadmap planning and OKRs, and influence critical technical decisions. As a technical leader, your impact scales beyond your direct team and extends to the broader engineering organization. You hold a high bar, inspire, and level up the engineers around you, and you're able to zoom out and think about high-level architecture and business problems but are still able to roll up your sleeves and write code when needed. • GlossGenius has grown significantly, supporting tens of thousands of customers and seeing billions of transaction volumes on our platforms. As our customers continue to grow their businesses, we want to enable them to be more successful. • This role can be based remotely anywhere in Canada.

Requirements

• 7+ years of software engineering experience, 3+ years of technical leadership experience • You have experience building products in a microservices environment, with breadth of experience across the stack, but are comfortable in a full-stack or frontend leaning role. • You have excellent product instincts, think about our users first, and can root decisions in the business context. Experience shipping consumer facing products is 0 to 1 is a plus! • You can effectively communicate complex concepts and have experience coordinating across teams to ship critical products • You have experience with building a long-term roadmap and technical vision to tackle complex user problems, plus an ability to break it down for other team members to execute on • You have architectural and system design expertise in developing highly scalable and performant distributed systems • You thrive in a collaborative environment involving different functions, stakeholders, and subject matter experts • You're a continuous learner - learn and grow constantly to feed your passion for self-improvement and make those around you better • You're comfortable picking up new technologies (our team builds on Ruby, React, Kotlin, and React Native, and our stack will continue to evolve.)

Benefits

• Provide technical leadership to a distributed engineering team to design new and enhance existing GlossGenius product offerings • Advise the GlossGenius leadership team on key technology and product roadmap considerations • Own problems from end to end, managing complexity, and engaging directly with stakeholders to think through everything from business impact to reliability and operability, to security; always approaching situations with a bias to action • Work with Product Managers to prioritize roadmap initiatives and be involved in the product ideation process • Continually drive our engineering standards (code reuse, documentation, testing, etc.) and levels of service forward • Take high-level business requirements and develop the technical details behind them. Collaborate with Product Managers to write epics and projects and ensure they’re appropriately broken down and prioritized, well understood by the team, and sized correctly for continuous deployment • Architect tools, services, and systems using well-accepted design patterns to allow for iterative, autonomous development and future scaling • Uphold GlossGenius’s high standards for engineering and product quality and mentor newer team members to do the same • Technical mentor to the growing engineering team
