About Proof
Proof is revolutionizing how law firms operate. Our platform is trusted by thousands of legal professionals to streamline workflows and unlock new levels of efficiency. As we scale rapidly, we’re looking for an Engineering Manager who leads with clarity and confidence—but isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves in the code when it matters most.
Overview This role emphasizes leadership with technical depth. You’ll spend most of your energy coaching, unblocking, and guiding engineers, while also jumping into the codebase to debug production issues or prototype proofs of concept when needed. If you want to grow as a leader while staying technically credible, this is the right path.
What You’ll Do Technical Leadership
Stay close enough to the stack to make informed technical decisions
Review PRs, validate designs, and set a high quality bar
Jump into code when needed—whether it’s unblocking a teammate, debugging production, or spiking a new idea
Ensure our frontend and full-stack systems deliver excellent user experiences
Build and nurture a high-performing, collaborative team
Mentor engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and coaching
Create an environment where engineers feel ownership and accountability
Help attract and hire strong engineers who share our hands-on culture
Strategic Execution
Partner with Product and Design to define technical roadmaps
Balance speed, quality, and long-term sustainability in decision-making
Translate vision into execution by connecting strategy with technical reality
Lead by example: you don’t just set standards—you live them




What We’re Looking For Must-Haves
5+ years of experience building production software (frontend or full-stack)
At least 2 years as a tech lead, team lead, or manager
Current experience with modern frontend technologies (React, TypeScript)
Strong track record of building performant, user-friendly applications
Excellent communication in a remote-first environment
The Right Mindset
You’re a leader first, but you keep your technical edge sharp
You’re not afraid to code when it’s the fastest or clearest path forward
You believe credibility as a leader comes from both guidance and action
You care deeply about building products people love to use
Not the Right Fit If…
You want a purely people-management role, away from the technical details
You haven’t written or reviewed production code in a long time
You see hands-on coding as beneath a manager’s role
Bonus Points
Experience scaling frontend performance and accessibility
Strong knowledge of GraphQL and contemporary API design
Background in design systems or component libraries
Passion for developer experience, CI/CD, and productivity tooling
Startup experience at Series A/B stage
What We Offer Remote-first: Work anywhere in Canada with flexible hours
Competitive Compensation: $160k–$195k CAD
Recharge: Flexible vacation policy that actually encourages time off
Growth: Opportunity to shape both team and product as we scale
Ready to Lead Without Losing Touch? If you’re a frontend-leaning or full-stack engineer who’s ready to grow as a leader—without becoming “just a manager”—we’d love to hear from you.
