At Jobber, we don’t just build a product - we work on real problems that help people in small businesses to become successful. We are inspired by our company values: be humble, be supportive and give a shit, which are not just said but are lived. We work in a collaborative environment where teams make decisions with autonomy and contribute directly to shaping the company’s future. We release early and often while dedicating time to address technical debt. We believe in getting instant feedback from our customers and leveraging that to make their lives easier.

We help employees grow professionally; we have a ton of onboarding resources, tutorials, hackathons and buddies to support learnings and provide opportunities to innovate. We have a range of experience levels on teams which allow for mentor/mentee opportunities. Leaders at Jobber work with empathy and support employees to build a healthy work-life harmony. Bring your dedication and passion to this job to fulfill your goals.

The team:

Our Growth team is central to Jobber’s success – focused on connecting users to the value of our software through a scientific approach that encapsulates data, user research and experimentation.

It's important that you can lead by example, influence decision-making, effectively handle conflict, and be a champion for engineering best practices.

The Principal Software Engineer will ensure the engineering organization is able to deliver work accurately and with high quality (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 have a voice in long term strategy and to constantly be looking for ways to accelerate the teams through tools, processes and whatever else presents itself. Finally, Principal Engineers collaborate with the development managers to help all developers grow.

Impeccable communication and the ability to drive ideas across the finish line by collaborating with members internal to growth and cross functionally.
Our stack is Ruby on Rails, React, React Native, TypeScript on AWS. If you have experience with some of these technologies, that’s great. If you don’t, that’s not a dealbreaker!

Openness is key!
