Familiarity with enterprise-grade software requirements including security, privacy, compliance, and customer-controlled deployments. Experience with distributed systems and product engineering in environments requiring scalability and reliability. Strong ability to structure ambiguity into clear execution plans and maintain delivery momentum in fast-moving teams. Excellent communication skills with the ability to align stakeholders on technical trade-offs and priorities. Bonus: experience with open-source ecosystems, compliance frameworks, or early-stage product development. Benefits Competitive compensation aligned with local markets (Canada range: $190,000 – $220,000 CAD). Annual bonus program and equity/long-term incentive opportunities. Fully remote work with flexible scheduling. Health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance coverage. Retirement contributions (RRSP / 401k equivalent depending on location).
