About Us


We’re a dynamic digital product agency that specializes in building innovative businesses at the convergence of content and commerce. Since 2020, our focus has been on the creator economy and online education. We operate remotely and are proud to have a team of talented professionals across North America.


This role is open exclusively to candidates based in Canada, specifically those in time zones ranging from PST to EST. Our team and client base are primarily located in North America, and this is a remote position within Canada.


About the Role


We’re looking for a seasoned Vice President of Engineering to lead and elevate our engineering team. In this strategic role, you will balance technical leadership, operational excellence, and mentorship to ensure the team delivers outstanding digital products. As a core member of our executive team, you'll collaborate with other leaders to align engineering efforts with broader business goals, driving innovation and delivering high-quality solutions for our clients.


This role requires someone who is adaptable, communicates clearly across all levels, and has a deep passion for technology and people. You’ll foster a culture of growth, innovation, and continuous improvement within the engineering team, and play a key role in representing engineering’s achievements internally, with clients, and in public forums.


Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and mentor a 15-person engineering team, providing support to managers and senior engineers across a wide range of projects.
  • Set and maintain high standards for technical quality, team productivity, and project execution. Ensure regular feedback and performance evaluations.
  • Drive the strategic vision for engineering operations, optimizing processes, boosting productivity, and aligning team goals with company objectives.
  • Work closely with the Partnerships Team to provide technical insights that shape project scopes, ensuring feasibility and alignment with client expectations.
  • Oversee recruitment and talent development to build and retain a highly skilled, motivated engineering team.
  • Collaborate with leadership to foster a positive, high-engagement company culture.
  • Provide hands-on guidance and support during critical project phases or complex client interactions, ensuring successful outcomes.

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience working in an agency or client services environment is a must.
  • Over 10 years of experience in software development, with at least 5 years in engineering leadership, guiding teams through the entire product lifecycle, from concept to delivery.
  • Expertise in both frontend and backend technologies such as React/React Native, Node.js, Rails, Go, or Python, with a strong understanding of full-stack development.
  • Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to effectively engage both technical and non-technical audiences, including executives and clients.
  • Experience creating clear documentation and architectural diagrams to communicate complex technical decisions.
  • Proven track record in leading distributed teams, fostering collaboration, and promoting knowledge sharing across the organization.
  • Skilled in scoping, estimating, and negotiating Statements of Work (SOWs) and project deliverables with clients and vendors.
  • Passion for mentoring and developing engineering talent, supporting the professional growth and success of team members.
  • If you are an experienced leader with a strong technical background and a passion for building world-class engineering teams, we would love to connect with you. Join us in shaping the future of digital products and empowering clients to achieve exceptional outcomes.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Comprehensive health benefits for Canadian employees.
  • Flexible working hours and a fully remote-friendly culture.
  • Generous time-off policy for vacations, sick days, and personal time. We actively encourage team members to take time to recharge.
  • Opportunity to collaborate with renowned creators and brands.
