Senior Software Engineer, McMobile

Are you an experienced software engineer with a passion for finding creative solutions to real-world problems? Do you love supporting more junior team members in their learning process?

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 are 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 learning 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. The McMobile team is pivotal in shaping the core of our iOS and Android apps. We handle essential tasks such as managing dependencies, coordinating testing processes, and keeping a watchful eye on performance. By focusing on these foundational aspects, we provide a reliable base for feature teams’ developers to work from, helping to streamline the development process and maintain the quality of our mobile applications.

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, 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.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will:

• Be involved in the full life-cycle of a feature, from ideation to delivery and adoption
• Write high quality technical design documents and proposals, and review them with your team and Staff/Principal engineers.
• Use existing observability tools and research new ones to track and improve our mobile apps’ operational metrics.
• Perform platform upgrades and migrations (TypeScript, Node, React Native, etc.)
• Help feature teams diagnose and triage mobile issues 
• Improve our mobile E2E and unit tests, both from a coverage and performance perspective
• Participate in code reviews 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
• Understand how and why our customers work the way they do, so you can develop and improve features in Jobber's online and mobile apps
• Utilize AI tools to enhance development practice. At Jobber we use AI tools to complement human skills and augment productivity, not to replace human creativity, critical thinking and decision-making

To be successful, you should have:

• A demonstrated level of senior software engineering experience on a full stack or dedicated mobile development team
• Experience with the entire software development lifecycle in the Agile/Scrum framework
• A strong systems focus, on building foundational software for large at-scale applications
• User-centric mindset: building systems with performance and usability in mind
• Ability to quickly move between different features and projects with a strong interest in experimentation
• Enthusiasm for delivering value early and often to customers
• A structured understanding of common front-end/mobile frameworks, architectures, technologies and patterns
• An inquisitive mind set; ability to ask many 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.
• Experience providing technical mentorship and sharing industry best practices, helping team members navigate complex engineering challenges and stay involved with the latest technologies and trends
• Experience using developer AI tools like Copilot or Cursor.

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

• Experience in a tech leadership role with a strong focus on mobile observability and instrumentation (e.g., NewRelic, Datadog, Sentry).
• Cross-Platform & Native Expertise – Proven experience developing in React Native along with native iOS (Swift) and Android (Java) development.
• Hands-on experience with GraphQL, Ruby on Rails, React, and writing robust front-end and back-end code across multiple languages and frameworks. 
• Skilled in implementing E2E test suites (e.g., Appium) and setting up CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Bitrise, CircleCI, Split).

Hiring Process:

• An interview with a Talent team member (45 mins)
• A Hiring Manager Interview (60 mins),
•  A take-home challenge with a follow-up Functional Interview (90 mins), 
• A Senior Leadership Interview (30 mins). 

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.

At Jobber, we believe that compensation should be transparent, fair, and supportive of your experience and growth. This role has a minimum annual salary of $125,800, a midpoint of $147,900, and a maximum salary of $170,100, designed to reflect the progression from learning the ropes to truly excelling. We design our compensation to reflect each new hire's skills, experience, and the complexity of the role, ensuring a fair and competitive salary. Our range is intentionally broad to support growth and long-term impact, with fully established hires typically starting around the midpoint. The higher end of the range is reserved for those who have demonstrated deep expertise and lasting contributions, while offers below the midpoint reflect strong potential with room to develop. This approach ensures that compensation aligns with both an individual's current capabilities and their opportunity for future growth. Base salary is just one part of a total compensation package that will include equity rewards, annual stipends for health and wellness, retirement savings matching, and an extended health package with fully paid premiums for body and mind. Your professional growth matters to us too! You'll have access to a dedicated talent development program that includes career coaching and opportunities for career development. We believe in transparency and open conversations about compensation. If you have any questions about our approach, we're happy to discuss them throughout the hiring process!
