Role
Who you are
- Senior-level experience shipping production software on a dedicated mobile or strong mobile-adjacent team (we work across the mobile surface area and supporting systems)
- Strong system and component design: clear boundaries, maintainable architecture, and intentional trade-offs at team scope—not only feature implementation
- Depth in mobile engineering: frameworks and patterns, UI performance and responsiveness, and how quality shows up for users at scale
- Operational maturity: systematic troubleshooting, monitoring, and improving how we detect and respond to issues in mobile apps
- Technical leadership behaviors: mentoring others, facilitating technical discussion, and written communication that drives alignment
- Customer-centered judgment: you incorporate feedback and context, navigate ambiguity, and help prioritize what matters
- Ownership: you self-serve, take initiative, and bring clarity when requirements are fuzzy
Desirable
- Experience in a tech lead or similar leadership capacity
- Hands-on mobile observability and instrumentation (e.g. Sentry, Datadog)
- E2E experience (e.g. Appium)
- Our stack or neighbors: React Native (TypeScript), native iOS/Android, GraphQL, Ruby on Rails, React—in production
- CI/CD and mobile release experience (e.g. Split, Bitrise, CircleCI, Runway)
- Hands-on experience beyond a single language pair across UI and backend work
What the job involves
- 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
- Own substantial work end-to-end—from clarifying the problem through delivery, adoption, and follow-up—while balancing feature delivery with sustainable engineering
- Lead technical direction for team-scoped initiatives: author and review technical designs and proposals; drive sound decisions and trade-offs with peers and Staff/Principal engineers
- Define and uphold quality for our mobile platform: performance, stability, and reliability through standards, observability, and catching regressions early
- Modernize and strengthen the mobile foundation (stack, architecture, tooling) so feature teams ship faster with fewer surprises
- Put testing and reliability practices in place that the team can reuse: automate what matters, share patterns, and target the risks that would actually hurt users
- Grow the team: mentorship, high-signal code review, and documentation or other artifacts that spread knowledge beyond your own work
- Partner across functions to align on problems, dependencies, and trade-offs, and to connect platform work to customer and developer experience
Our take
For businesses that sell home services, it can be difficult keeping up with paperwork, scheduling appointments, and chasing payments, especially when their teams are small. Jobber delivers a comprehensive toolbox to keep track of all these aspects, so that small business owners can concentrate on more important things like serving their customers and building their brand.
Jobber was founded in 2011, initially to help a friend who owned a small painting business. The founders quickly discovered that what they were building could help many more owners across a number of industries, going on to launch the product which is now used by over 300,000 home service professionals in over 60 countries.
What makes Jobber stand out is that it collects all the vital parts of running a home services business into one place, removing the burden of keeping track of multiple sources of information. The company has seen significant funding which it has invested in R&D and growing its customer base, and boasts four consecutive years on The Globe and Mail's Canada's Top Growing Companies List.
