Software Development Manager, Draft

We are currently seeking a Software Development Manager to join our Engineering team. This role is available to candidates across Canada, excluding Quebec. If you are local to one of our hubs (Burnaby, Calgary, or Toronto) you will be expected to be in office minimum once per week on one of our Anchor Days.

At Clio, we strive to be both human and high-performing. As a Software Development Manager, you will focus on supporting and growing your team, driving strong execution, and delivering robust technical solutions. In this role, you will collaborate as part of a triad leadership group (Designer + Product Manager + Development Manager) and lead your team to success both technically and interpersonally.

Our Development Managers are highly technical and hands-on, often contributing to coding, design, and reviews. They create safe and productive environments, coaching their teams to excel in both technical execution and teamwork.

We are currently hiring a Development Manager for the Draft team, which is responsible for building the Clio Draft application, including features for document drafting, annotation, and management.

A day in the life might look like:

• Collaborating with your triad to understand business challenges, identifying impactful opportunities, and crafting a strategic roadmap
• Designing technical solutions with your team and contributing to their implementation
• Providing thoughtful feedback on code reviews, architecture documents, and other deliverables to guide strong technical decisions
• Actively contributing to the project through code reviews or writing code yourself
• Holding 1:1 meetings with direct reports to support their career growth and development goals
• Participating in hiring to grow Clio's engineering team
• Reviewing code from your team or mentoring other Clio developers on technologies or patterns within your expertise

You may be a fit for this role if you have:

• Proven success in leading software development teams, particularly within large-scale SaaS products
• A strong background in hands-on software development
• Broad technical expertise, enabling you to guide your team in solving complex problems
• Experience delivering successful projects and valuable lessons learned from less successful ones
• A demonstrated ability to hire, coach, and retain top engineering talent in a competitive job market
• Equal enthusiasm for contributing technically and fostering the career growth of your team
• A "strong opinions, weakly held" mindset, and the ability to foster that attitude in others
• A commitment to providing and encouraging honest, actionable feedback within your team
• Flexibility to adapt to change and adjust roadmaps as needed

Bonus points for:

• A clear philosophy on what makes great software development teams
• Experience with CRM products at scale
• Proficiency in Python
