We help employees grow professionally; 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.

Reporting to the Senior Manager, Software Engineering, the Mobile Principal Software Engineer will work with the rest of the engineering organization to build an industry‑leading mobile app that helps our customers and their small businesses be successful. We’re looking for someone who is ready to solve problems that millions of entrepreneurs are facing, using their experience to drive solutions and influence the engineering organization and Jobber as a whole to achieve this goal.

Mobile Principal Software

Engineer will ensure the engineering organization is able to deliver a great, high‑quality mobile app experience to all our customers (and as efficiently as possible, given the other constraints). This usually will look like mentoring and lending a coding hand where needed.

Principal





Engineers are also expected to drive long‑term mobile platform strategy and continuously identify opportunities (tools, processes, architectural patterns) that accelerate delivery across teams. Finally, Principal Engineers collaborate with the engineering managers to help all engineers grow. Understand how and why our customers work the way they do, so you can investigate and design the mobile platform of the future and the roadmap to get there.

Stay ahead of the industry by researching emerging mobile technologies, prototyping new approaches, and producing design documents and technical findings that inform the team's direction before work hits the roadmap. Deliver high quality and well‑structured code and mentor teammates to do the same. Actively engage with stakeholders to determine the best solution to our customers’ problems.

Breakdown and explain complex technical issues to both technical and non‑technical audiences. 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.

A rich, well‑rounded software engineering background with a proven track record of developing impactful customer‑facing software products in senior technical leadership roles. Demonstrated ability to take ownership of complex problems and lead engineering efforts to solve such problems. Enthusiasm for delivering value early and often to customers.





Solid experience in mobile development for iOS and Android, ideally in React Native in a production workplace.

Experience with the entire software development lifecycle in the Agile/Scrum framework. A track record of producing clear technical writing (RFCs, design documents, architecture decision records) that drives alignment across teams. Hands‑on experience using tools like ChatGPT, Cursor, and Copilot to enhance your workflows, refining how you balance AI‑driven efficiency with the craft of software development, both for yourself and others on your team.

It would be really outstanding (but not a deal‑breaker) if you had: Experience with Swift and Kotlin for native mobile development. Familiarity with mobile performance testing & monitoring. Familiarity with Ruby on Rails (our backend technology).

To support this, the role is open to candidates based in one of our hub cities: 196,300 CAD , a midpoint of $230,900 CAD , and a maximum salary of $265,600 CAD , designed to reflect the progression from learning the ropes to truly excelling.

A dedicated Talent Development team and access to coaching, learning, and leadership programs to help you grow your career, reach your goals, and unlock your full potential.
