We’re an AI-powered learning platform that helps organizations create, deliver, and manage training all in one place. But our real mission goes deeper: we help teams move faster, work smarter, and focus on the work that truly matters. Our platform is built with intelligent, time-saving tools that personalize learning, eliminate busywork, and turn training from a checkbox into a superpower. The result? Better experiences for learners and real results for businesses.

At Docebo, our values aren’t just posters on the wall—they guide how we work every day. We call it the Docebo Heart: trust by default, assume positive intent, and create space for different perspectives to thrive.

About the Opportunity:

As our Director of Engineering, you’ll be the hands-on technical leader driving the design, development, and delivery of our core products. You’re not just managing from a distance — you’re in the trenches with your team, architecting solutions, reviewing code, solving complex problems, and ensuring that what we build is both technically excellent and deeply valuable to our customers.

You’ll build and nurture a world-class engineering culture rooted in collaboration, craftsmanship, and curiosity — empowering our teams to deliver great products fast, without sacrificing quality.

What You’ll Do

• Lead by Doing: Set the technical direction and lead by example — contributing to architecture decisions, coding, and product development when needed.

• Build Great Products: Partner with Product and Design to create simple, elegant, and scalable solutions that delight customers.

• Grow and Inspire Teams: Recruit, coach, and mentor exceptional engineers. Foster an inclusive, growth-oriented culture where people do their best work.

• Drive Execution: Ensure the team ships high-quality features quickly, with strong alignment on priorities, goals, and customer needs.

• Champion Engineering Excellence: Implement best practices for code quality, automation, testing, and reliability.

• Customer Focus: Stay close to customers and use their feedback to shape our roadmap and improve user experiences.

• Embrace AI & Cloud: Guide the team in applying modern AI tools, cloud infrastructure, and automation to accelerate innovation and scalability.

What We’re Looking For

• 10+ years of experience in software engineering, with at least 3+ in a leadership role (manager or above).

• Proven success building SaaS products in a fast-paced startup or growth-stage environment.

• Deep technical expertise in modern cloud architecture (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and agile software development, specifically with Kubernetes, Databases, Observability Products and CI/CD pipelines.

• Hands-on experience with Go, Node and/or PHP — you’re comfortable diving into code or troubleshooting with your team.

• Experience leading high-performing, collaborative teams that deliver customer-centric solutions.

• Strong communication skills — able to partner cross-functionally and translate business goals into technical execution.

• A passion for mentoring, problem-solving, and building products that truly make an impact.
