Company mission
To automate the home mortgage experience by connecting the people, processes, and technologies that power the industry.
Role
Who you are
- 7+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong background in full stack web application development
- 4+ years managing engineering teams, including experience managing multiple concurrent teams or pods
- Track record of shipping software across an agile SDLC, with a bias towards rapid, iterative development and constantly shortening the feedback loop
- Strong partner to product management who looks beyond the tech stack; possesses the business curiosity and customer insights necessary to make decisive product calls and navigate complex cross-functional trade-offs
- Full-range people management experience: growing high performers, supporting struggling ones, and hiring new ones
- Technical grounding strong enough to give credible feedback on code and architectural decisions
- Informed point of view on AI in software engineering, you've thought about how the process changes, not just the speed
- Experience with Ruby on Rails and React are a plus
What the job involves
- You'll own one of our core engineering pods from day one, reporting to the Director of Engineering. The starting footprint is 8 direct reports, engineers from senior to associate, with a second pod coming online within 3 to 6 months as your leadership of the first is established. Fully ramped, you're managing 12 or more engineers across two product domains
- This role calls for someone technically present. The team includes Staff and Senior engineers doing strong work. What they need is a manager who can engage with them at a real level: giving architectural feedback that lands, caring about code quality in ways that earn credibility, and thinking about AI not as a productivity shortcut but as a reason to rethink how a software team operates. If that's the kind of engineering manager you are, this is a good fit
- Own day-to-day execution of your engineering pod: sprint planning, delivery, and team health
- Partner closely with product managers to align on quarterly goals, clear blockers, and keep work pointed in the right direction
- Work alongside engineering leadership and the engineering team on architectural decisions, shaping them, not just attending them
- Take on a second engineering pod within 3 to 6 months as your leadership of the first team is established
- Lead full performance management for 8 to 12 engineers: 1:1s, twice-annual reviews, coaching plans, and promotion recommendations
- Translate emergent AI strategies into team-level execution; partner across the org to test and refine workflows, review cycles, and SDLC practices as engineering-wide standards take shape
Our take
Real estate closings tend to be inefficient and fragmented, so Snapdocs provides software for closing digital loans and mortgages. The company provides a suite of cloud-based products that simplify the process, reducing the cost of deals and increasing the efficiency of closing them.
The appeal of Snapdocs is that it connects all the various parties involved in establishing a mortgage. This eliminates much of the friction that can slow down closes, making everything swifter and more efficient. Like many industries, real estate is starting to favour the online space for improved customer experience, which creates great opportunities for the company.
An impressive list of settlement agents has started using the Snapdocs platform, including Googain, Bell Bank and Lenders One Cooperative. With good early uptake, the company is set for further expansion within the market as its patented technology sees more adoption, integration and implementation.
