Position Overview

Hammehr invites applications for the role of Engineering Manager on behalf of our client for a full-time permanent chance.

Our client is a Canadian business law firm creating a new position across application development, business intelligence and AI-assisted engineering. You'll manage approximately four people, including application developers and BI analysts, while remaining directly involved in architecture, technical problem-solving and delivery.

The mandate combines developing the team's capabilities with accountability for application and reporting quality. AI enablement centres on integrating assisted development and analytics into everyday work, with repeatable practices for testing, review, documentation and safe use.

What You'll Do

- Manage direct reporting team, including coaching, performance reviews, career development and expectations for quality and delivery
- Define application and BI architecture, review designs and code, and check that solutions meet security, reliability and maintainability standards
- Work directly with BI analysts on data models, reporting accuracy and governance, keeping reporting tied to specific business questions
- Resolve technical escalations while helping engineers and analysts make more decisions independently
- Integrate AI-assisted tools into development and analytics workflows, with repeatable practices for checking outputs and using the tools safely
- Improve testing, review, documentation and delivery practices across the software development lifecycle
- Translate business requirements into technical options and explain the implications for quality, scope and delivery to stakeholders
- Coordinate delivery with the project management office while remaining accountable for technical design,



implementation choices and solution quality

Basic Qualifications

- 5+ years of people-management experience with software engineers or BI/analytics professionals, including coaching, performance management and individual development
- Hands-on application development and solution architecture experience, including decisions about code quality, security, reliability and maintainability
- Practical experience delivering BI and analytics solutions, including data models, reporting and governance
- Experience improving engineering practices such as testing, technical review, documentation or software delivery
- Experience translating business needs into technical designs and explaining technical choices and delivery tradeoffs to stakeholders

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience introducing AI-assisted tools, such as Copilot, into team workflows, including reviewing outputs and establishing safe-use practices
- Management experience spanning both application development and BI or analytics
- Delivery experience alongside a project management office, with responsibility for engineering decisions distinct from project coordination

The Challenges

- You'll be the primary technical escalation point while developing the team's independence, requiring decisions about when to intervene directly and when to coach or delegate
- BI responsibilities include hands-on support, but the role also needs to improve data models and reporting practices rather than become centred on producing individual reports
- AI experimentation needs to become repeatable delivery practice without weakening code quality, data governance or security

Your Impact

- Engineers and analysts can resolve more technical questions within the team, reducing dependence on a single escalation point
- Business stakeholders have more reliable applications and reporting that answers defined business questions
- AI-assisted development and analytics become repeatable practices with clear quality and security checks, reducing risk as their use expands
