Staff Software Engineer

Jobber exists to help people in small businesses be successful. We work with small home service businesses, like your local plumbers, painters, and landscapers, to transform the way service is delivered through technology. With Jobber they can quote, schedule, invoice, and collect payments from their customers, while providing an easy and professional customer experience. Running a small business today isn’t like it used to be—the way we consume and deliver service is changing rapidly, technology is evolving, and customers expect more. That’s why we put the power and flexibility in their hands to run their businesses how, where, and when they want!

Our culture of transparency, inclusivity, collaboration, and innovation has been recognized by Great Place to Work, Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures, and more. Jobber has also been named on the Globe and Mail’s Canada’s Top Growing Companies list, and Deloitte Canada’s Technology Fast 50™, Enterprise Fast 15, and Technology Fast 500™ lists. With an Executive team that has over thirty years of industry experience of leading the way, we’ve come a long way from our first customer in 2011—but we’ve just scratched the surface of what we want to accomplish for our customers.

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 allows for mentor/mentee opportunities. Leaders at Jobber work with empathy and support employees to build healthy work-life harmony. Bring your dedication and passion to this job to fulfill your goals.

You could join one of the following teams:

Consumer Intake: This team plays an essential role in bridging the gap between Jobber’s customers (SPs) and their customers (SCs). This team builds and iterates on impactful customer-facing features, including Online Booking and a suite of marketing tools, to help home service businesses win more work. While full-stack, the work on this team will lean more backend. If you like building customer-facing features, this is a great opportunity!

Customer Success Engineering: A newly formed team focused on building tools and rich automation enabling Jobber’s Customer Success teams to work and scale effectively. This team’s work also benefits multiple departments across the organization (Engineering, Product, Security and Risk to name a few!) This is an opportunity to shape the vision and direction of a new team and bridge customers' needs with product engineering!

Communication Systems: This team builds systems enabling our customers to send messages (email and SMS) to their customers, all within Jobber. Communications is at the core of our product strategy, we send nearly 20M+ messages per month and this is the core team that will enable multiple other teams to do high-priority work for the company. The work on this team is almost fully backend and is a great opportunity to showcase systems design skills!
