Senior Software Engineer, Frontend Design Systems

Are you an experienced software engineer with a passion for building reusable solutions? 

Then Jobber might be the place for you! We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to be part of our Product Software Engineering team.

At Jobber, we don’t just build a product - we work on real problems that help people in small businesses to become successful. We are inspired by our company values: be humble, be supportive and give a shit, which is not just said but are lived. We work in a collaborative environment where teams make decisions with autonomy and contribute directly to shaping the company’s future. We release early and often while dedicating time to addressing technical debt. We believe in getting instant feedback from our customers and leveraging that to make their lives easier.

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 allow for mentor/mentee opportunities. Leaders at Jobber work with empathy and support employees to build a healthy work-life harmony. Bring your dedication and passion to this job to fulfill your goals. 

The team:

Our Software Engineering team is central to the success of Jobber - focused on creating software that delivers value to tens of thousands of users around the world. This team creates and maintains our design system (web and mobile) to enhance our stream-aligned teams’ capabilities and Jobber’s scalability.  We use our frontend engineering superpowers (interaction, visual, and prototyping skills) to ensure a consistent and predictable look & feel across Jobber.  

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 Learning and Development team, and your own sense of curiosity, we hope you develop to another level with your skill set.

The role:

Reporting to the Manager, Software Engineering, as a Senior Software Engineer you will collaborate with other Software Development members on a Scrum team to build reusable solutions and 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.

As a Senior Software Engineer, Atlantis you will:

• Build out our core design system to help engineers be able to build faster and more consistently, for both mobile and web products
• Research, communicate, and advocate for the use of Design Systems' best practices across Jobber's engineering organization
• Participate in code review and testing, while driving engineering solutions to have consistent practices and reusable code
• Facilitate group discussions with team members and stakeholders 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
• Mentor and coach junior teammates, helping them elevate their skills and careers

To be successful, you should have:

• Demonstrated front-end focused software engineering expertise on mobile and web in a production environment
• Experience with Native app development (iOS & Android), using React, React Native and Typescript (Java/Kotlin)
• Strong understanding of common front-end software frameworks, architectures, technologies and patterns
• Experience working closely with designers to develop (or contribute to) an organizational Design System
• Experience integrating with GraphQL API (or other modern API query language/technology)
• Experience with Mobile Observability tools (Sentry, Datadog)
• Experience with the entire software development lifecycle in the Agile/Scrum framework
• Enthusiasm for delivering value early and often
• An inquisitive mind set; ability to ask a lot of questions, seek out new information and remain open to new ideas and perspectives.
• The ability to self serve, take initiative and find resources necessary to accomplish a project or solve a problem.

It would be really great (but not a deal-breaker) if you had:

• Experience with Ruby on Rails and modernizing front-end implementations
• Experience with CI/CD (Bitrise, Runway, CircleCI)
• Exposure or experience in a tech leadership role

Where you can expect to work:

Our product provides entrepreneurs the flexibility of working in their office or the field and we offer that same opportunity to our employees. You will have the choice to work in either our Edmonton or Toronto offices or remotely anywhere within Canada. We’re committed to ensuring the best experience for all Jobberinos to do impactful work.
