We’re looking for a Manager, Software Engineering to lead 2 squads of our core platform. You will manage a combined team of ~10 talented software engineers and partner closely with dedicated product managers with each squad to build, scale, and refine critical components of our systems touching Merchant LifeCycle and Risk - high-throughput systems that differentiate legitimate growth from sophisticated bad actors in real-time. This role balances people management, technical leadership, and delivery execution including cross department roadmap alignment.

This is a hybrid position based in our Calgary office. You have at least 3 years of experience managing software engineers, with a proven ability to coach, develop, and retain top talent. You previously spent at least 5 years as a hands-on software developer, giving you the technical depth needed to support and guide your team.

You’re committed to building inclusive, high-performing teams and fostering psychological safety. You’re proactive in identifying and addressing performance issues constructively. You collaborate closely with Product, Design, and DevOps.

You ensure engineers understand the “why” behind their work and feel connected to the customer impact.
