WE HELP PEOPLE IN SMALL BUSINESS BE SUCCESSFUL
Job by job, we’re transforming the way service is delivered. We’re bringing people and technology together to build stronger communities. Our communities are built on the backs of small businesses, so when small business wins, we all win.
Jobber exists to help people in small businesses be successful. We work with small home service businesses, like your local plumbers, painters, and landscapers, to transform the way service is delivered through technology. With Jobber they can quote, schedule, invoice, and collect payments from their customers, while providing an easy and professional customer experience. Running a small business today isn’t like it used to be—the way we consume and deliver service is changing rapidly, technology is evolving, and customers expect more. That’s why we put the power and flexibility in their hands to run their businesses how, where, and when they want!
Our culture of transparency, inclusivity, collaboration, and innovation has been recognized by Great Place to Work, Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures, and more. Jobber has also been named on the Globe and Mail’s Canada’s Top Growing Companies list, and Deloitte Canada’s Technology Fast 50™, Enterprise Fast 15, and Technology Fast 500™ lists. With an Executive team that has over thirty years of industry experience of leading the way, we’ve come a long way from our first customer in 2011—but we’ve just scratched the surface of what we want to accomplish for our customers.
We help employees grow professionally; we have a ton of onboarding resources, tutorials, hackathons and buddies to support learnings and provide opportunities to innovate. We have a range of experience levels on teams which allows for mentor/mentee opportunities. Leaders at Jobber work with empathy and support employees to build healthy work-life harmony. Bring your dedication and passion to this job to fulfill your goals.
The team:
Fintech is one of the fastest-growing parts of Jobber, and a core strategic priority for us as a company. We're investing in this growing area because we believe embedding financial tools within our product deepens our ability to help small businesses be successful. Whether it’s helping small businesses get paid using Jobber Payments, offer financing to their customers, or access capital to invest in growth - we believe small business owners should have seamless access to financial tools that allow them to thrive.
The role:
As a Staff Software Engineer on our Fintech team you will bring technical leadership to the team, bridge the gap between Product, Design and Engineering, mentor other engineers and actively participate in solution design and architecture.
At Jobber we never stop growing and learning, and you shouldn’t either. Through continuous 1:1s, dedicated feedback and support from your manager and our Talent Development team, and your own sense of curiosity, we hope you develop to another level with your skill set.
As a Staff Software Engineer you will:
- Work with the team to ideate, design, implement, and deliver impactful features iteratively to our customers
- Work with Product and Design to determine the shape and content of our roadmap looking ahead
- Identify and spearhead larger initiatives that are group-wide (or even department-wide) in scope
- Participate in code review and testing
- Drive engineering solutions to have consistent practices and reusable code
- Facilitate group discussions 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
- Breakdown and explain complex technical issues to both technical and non-technical audiences
- Mentor and coach junior teammates, helping them elevate their skills and careers
To be successful, you should have:
- Experience leading a team or a project and acting as a technical leader
- A demonstrated level of software engineering experience on a full stack-focused team
- Excellent collaboration skills and an impeccable ability to communicate and listen to others
- A proven track record of building highly scalable software
- Strong software design and architecture skills
- Enthusiasm for delivering value early and often to customers
- Ability to ask a lot of questions, seek out new information and remain open to new ideas and perspectives
- Ability to self-serve, take initiative and find resources necessary to deliver a project or solve a problem
- Impeccable communication skills and a team player attitude
- Attention to quality and proven experience writing automated tests
- Ability to navigate ambiguity/uncertainty and prioritize accordingly
It would be really great (but not a deal-breaker) if you had:
- Fintech experience is a big plus
Our development stack: React, React Native, TypeScript, GraphQL API layer, and Ruby on Rails on AWS. If you have experience with some or most of these technologies, that’s great. We care more about your openness and ability to learn new tools.
