This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Engineering Manager based in Canada. This is a senior engineering leadership role overseeing a distributed team working across Canada, the United States, and Europe. You’ll lead teams responsible for technology that helps developers identify security vulnerabilities and software quality issues early in the development lifecycle. The role combines technical strategy, people leadership, operational excellence, and cross-functional collaboration. You’ll guide the development of scalable, secure, observable systems while establishing strong engineering and quality practices. A key focus will be supporting developer tooling, code analysis, software security, and modern approaches to AI-assisted understanding of source code. You’ll also help create an environment centered on ownership, continuous learning, experimentation, reliability, and measurable improvement. This opportunity is well suited to an experienced engineering leader who enjoys developing people while remaining engaged with complex technical challenges. \n Accountabilities: - Define and drive a technical roadmap aligned with product objectives, strategically prioritizing engineering investments and adopting relevant technologies and methodologies. - Lead and develop a distributed engineering organization operating across multiple countries and time zones. - Facilitate communication across engineering, product, design, and other teams while identifying dependencies and resolving coordination challenges. - Develop engineers and engineering managers through coaching, mentoring, performance management, clear expectations, and continuous feedback. - Maintain the team's technical capabilities by encouraging learning and keeping practices aligned with industry developments.

- Guide teams in designing scalable, secure, reliable, and observable systems that meet business and technical requirements. - Promote experimentation and telemetry-driven development to support rapid iteration and data-informed decision-making. - Drive engineering excellence through automation, tooling, and standardized approaches to deployment, testing, and operations. - Establish and improve reliability practices, incident response processes, service-level objectives, and post-incident reviews. - Ensure postmortems result in systemic improvements rather than isolated fixes. - Support thoughtful system design and dependency management across complex engineering environments. - Help teams deliver high-quality developer tooling and code analysis capabilities across supported programming languages and technical ecosystems. - Collaborate with stakeholders to establish shared understanding of technical direction, priorities, decisions, and progress. Requirements: - At least 6 years of experience in software engineering, computer science, or a related technical discipline, with demonstrated experience maintaining and delivering production software. - Alternatively, relevant post-secondary education combined with the required professional experience, including an associate-level qualification with 5+ years, bachelor's degree with 4+ years, master's degree with 2+ years, or a doctorate in a relevant technical field. - Equivalent combinations of education and professional experience may also be considered. - At least 1 year of people management or technical team management experience. - Production software development experience with languages such as C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Go, Ruby, Rust, or Python . - Experience building developer tools that work directly with source code, such as compilers, parsers, linters, static analyzers, debuggers, CLI tools, or IDE extensions, is highly valuable.
