Software Development Manager

We are currently seeking a Software Development Manager to join our engineering team. This is a remote position. When our offices reopen this role can be performed from one of our Canadian offices, remotely across Canada, or a combination of both. Some exemptions may apply.

A day in the life might look like:

• Contributing to or even driving larger changes to processes and workflows within your team or the broader development organization;
• Collaborating with your triad to: understand the challenges our business faces, identify the most impactful opportunities, and craft a roadmap for the team;
• Working with your team on preparing an architecture document for an upcoming project;
• Working with the developers on your team to break down a project into deliverable chunks of work;
• Giving great feedback on code reviews, architecture documents, and more to help support team members making great technical decisions for their projects;
• Having a 1:1 meeting with your direct reports to make sure they are supported in their career growth and development goals;
• Reviewing code contributed by members from your team or other Clio developers reaching out to you for your experience with a given technology or pattern.

You may be a fit for this role if:

• Demonstrated success in people leadership in software development, particularly with large scale SaaS products;
• A background in hands-on software development;
• Diverse base of knowledge that allows you to help your team solve complex technical problems;
• The ability to describe successful projects you worked on, as well as a collection of lessons learned from failed projects; and
• Demonstrated ability to hire the best and brightest engineers in a fast-paced job market—and to coach, develop, and retain engineering talent; You are equally energized by both your own technical work as well as contributing to the career growth of your team;
• You have strong opinions that are weakly held, and foster that same attitude in others;
• You believe in providing honest, actionable feedback to your team, and encourage your team to reciprocate;
• You devise roadmaps to guide your team, but aren't beholden to them -- you easily adapt to a constantly changing world.

Serious bonus points if you have?

• A philosophy on what makes for great software development teams;
• Experience with CRM products at scale; and
• Experience with Ruby on Rails.

Where your team works:

Clio is currently transitioning to a workplace that is distributed by design. This means that Clio offers employees more choice: the opportunity to work from one of our hub offices across Canada, remotely, or a combination of both. We have invested in best-in-class tools, technology, and culture to ensure our team members are able to do their best work whether they prefer to work from an office or remotely.
