Senior Software Engineer

The role

Reporting to the Manager, Software Engineering, the Senior Software Engineer will collaborate with other Software Development members on a Scrum team to build an industry-leading product that helps our customers and their small businesses be successful. We’re looking for people who are ready to solve problems that millions of entrepreneurs are facing, using their experience to influence both a product and our team, all the while still working on developing their own craft.

In this role, it’s important that you’re a champion of best practices for well-tested, scalable, and well-organized code. In addition, you customize and extend tools and processes to increase the effectiveness of your team and mentor others to do the same.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will

• Be involved in the full life-cycle of a feature, from ideation to delivery and adoption
• Participate in code review and testing, while driving engineering solutions to have consistent practices and reusable code
• Facilitate group discussions with team members and stakeholders to determine the best solution to our customer's problems
• Research, communicate, and advocate for the use of best practices within your team’s domain
• Mentor and coach junior teammates, helping them elevate their skills and careers
• Understand how and why our customers work the way they do, so you can develop and improve features in Jobber's online and mobile apps
• 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 demonstrated level of senior software engineering experience on a full-stack development team
• You have a track record of learning and writing quality code in multiple languages, though experience with Javascript/TypeScript is required (We use Ruby on Rails, React & React Native with TypeScript)
• Experience with the entire software development lifecycle in the Agile/Scrum framework
• A strong systems focus, on building foundational software for large at-scale applications
• Ability to quickly move between different features and projects with a strong interest in experimentation
• A structured understanding of common full-stack frameworks, architectures, technologies, and patterns
• An inquisitive mindset; ability to ask a lot of questions, seek out new information, and remain open to new ideas and perspectives.
• The ability to self-serve, take initiative, and find resources necessary to accomplish a project or solve a problem
• Enthusiasm for delivering value early and often to customers
• Experience providing technical mentorship and sharing industry best practices, helping team members navigate complex engineering challenges and stay involved with the latest technologies and trends
• Experience using developer AI tools like Copilot or Cursor.

It would be really great (but not a deal-breaker) if you had

• Exposure or experience in a tech leadership role
• Kafka knowledge and some basic AWS knowledge (e.g. Lambda, ECS, EC2)
• Experience using Ruby on Rails, React, and GraphQL in a production environment

Hiring Process

• An interview with a Talent team member (45 mins)
• A Hiring Manager Interview (60 mins)
• A take-home challenge with a follow-up Functional Interview (90 mins)
• A Senior Leadership Interview (30 mins)

Location

We believe great collaboration is intentional, and sometimes that means coming together in person to build, brainstorm, and connect. To support this, the role is open to candidates based in one of our hub cities: Edmonton, Toronto, Vancouver, or Kitchener-Waterloo.

Compensation

At Jobber, we believe that compensation should be transparent, fair, and supportive of your experience and growth. This role has a minimum annual salary of $125,800, a midpoint of $147,900, and a maximum salary of $170,100, 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.

Base salary is just one part of a total compensation package that will include equity rewards, annual stipends for health and wellness, retirement savings matching, and an extended health package with fully paid premiums for body and mind. Your professional growth matters to us too! You'll have access to a dedicated talent development program that includes career coaching and opportunities for career development. 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, matching in RRSP, TFSA or FHSA, 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.
• 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 give a sh*t about our customers.

We believe that diverse teams perform better and that fostering an inclusive work environment is a key part of growing a successful team. We welcome people of diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We are an equal opportunity employer, and we are committed to working with applicants requesting accommodation at any stage of the hiring process.
