Senior Software Engineer, McMobile

Are you an experienced software engineer with a passion for finding creative solutions to real-world problems? Do you love supporting more junior team members in their learning process?

The team:

Our Software Engineering team is central to the success of Jobber - focused on creating software that delivers value to tens of thousands of users around the world. The McMobile team is pivotal in shaping the core of our iOS and Android apps. We handle essential tasks such as managing dependencies, coordinating testing processes, and keeping a watchful eye on performance. By focusing on these foundational aspects, we provide a reliable base for feature teams’ developers to work from, helping to streamline the development process and maintain the quality of our mobile applications.

At Jobber, we never stop growing and learning, and you shouldn’t either. Through continuous 1:1s, dedicated feedback and support from your manager and our Learning and Development team, and your own sense of curiosity, we hope you develop to another level with your skill set.

The role:

Reporting to the Manager, Software Engineering, the Senior Software Engineer will collaborate with other Software Development members on a Scrum team to build an industry-leading product that helps our customers and their small businesses be successful. We’re looking for people who are ready to solve problems that millions of entrepreneurs are facing, using their experience to influence both a product and our team, all the while still working on developing their own craft.

In this role, it’s important that you’re a champion of best practices for well-tested, scalable, and well-organized code. In addition, you customize and extend tools and processes to increase the effectiveness of your team, and mentor others to do the same.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will:

• Own substantial work end-to-end—from clarifying the problem through delivery, adoption, and follow-up—while balancing feature delivery with sustainable engineering.

• Lead technical direction for team-scoped initiatives: author and review technical designs and proposals; drive sound decisions and trade-offs with peers and Staff/Principal engineers.

• Define and uphold quality for our mobile platform: performance, stability, and reliability through standards, observability, and catching regressions early.

• Modernize and strengthen the mobile foundation (stack, architecture, tooling) so feature teams ship faster with fewer surprises.

• Put testing and reliability practices in place that the team can reuse: automate what matters, share patterns, and target the risks that would actually hurt users

• Grow the team: mentorship, high-signal code review, and documentation or other artifacts that spread knowledge beyond your own work.

• Partner across functions to align on problems, dependencies, and trade-offs, and to connect platform work to customer and developer experience.

To be successful, you should have:

• Senior-level experience shipping production software on a dedicated mobile or strong mobile-adjacent team (we work across the mobile surface area and supporting systems).

• Strong system and component design: clear boundaries, maintainable architecture, and intentional trade-offs at team scope—not only feature implementation.

• Depth in mobile engineering: frameworks and patterns, UI performance and responsiveness, and how quality shows up for users at scale.

• Operational maturity: systematic troubleshooting, monitoring, and improving how we detect and respond to issues in mobile apps.

• Technical leadership behaviors: mentoring others, facilitating technical discussion, and written communication that drives alignment.

• Customer-centered judgment: you incorporate feedback and context, navigate ambiguity, and help prioritize what matters.

• Ownership: you self-serve, take initiative, and bring clarity when requirements are fuzzy.

It would be really great (but not a deal-breaker) if you had:

• Experience in a tech lead or similar leadership capacity.

• Hands-on mobile observability and instrumentation (e.g. Sentry, Datadog).

• E2E experience (e.g. Appium).

• Our stack or neighbors: React Native (TypeScript), native iOS/Android, GraphQL, Ruby on Rails, React—in production.

• CI/CD and mobile release experience (e.g. Split, Bitrise, CircleCI, Runway).

• Hands-on experience beyond a single language pair across UI and backend work.

Location:

We believe great collaboration is intentional, and sometimes that means coming together in person to build, brainstorm, and connect. To support this, the role is open to candidates based in one of our hub cities: Edmonton, Toronto, Vancouver, or Kitchener-Waterloo.

Compensation:

At Jobber, we believe that compensation should be transparent, fair, and supportive of your experience and growth. This role has a minimum annual salary of $125,800 CAD, a midpoint of $147,900 CAD , and a maximum salary of $170,100 CAD, designed to reflect the progression from learning the ropes to truly excelling.

We design our compensation to reflect each new hire's skills, experience, and the complexity of the role, ensuring a fair and competitive salary. Our range is intentionally broad to support growth and long-term impact, with fully established hires typically starting around the midpoint. The higher end of the range is reserved for those who have demonstrated deep expertise and lasting contributions, while offers below the midpoint reflect strong potential with room to develop. This approach ensures that compensation aligns with both an individual's current capabilities and their opportunity for future growth.

Base salary is just one part of a total compensation package that will include equity rewards, annual stipends for health and wellness, retirement savings matching, and an extended health package with fully paid premiums for body and mind. Your professional growth matters to us too! You'll have access to a dedicated talent development program that includes career coaching and opportunities for career development. We believe in transparency and open conversations about compensation. If you have any questions about our approach, we're happy to discuss them throughout the hiring process!

What you can expect from Jobber:

• A total compensation package that includes an extended health benefits package with fully paid premiums for both body and mind, matching in RRSP, TFSA or FHSA, and stock options.

• A dedicated Talent Development team and access to coaching, learning, and leadership programs to help you grow your career, reach your goals, and unlock your full potential.

• A unique opportunity to build, grow, and leave your impact on a $400-billion industry that has no dominant player...yet.

• To work with a group of people who are humble, supportive, and give a sh*t about our customers.

We believe that diverse teams perform better and that fostering an inclusive work environment is a key part of growing a successful team. We welcome people of diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We are an equal opportunity employer, and we are committed to working with applicants requesting accommodation at any stage of the hiring process.
