SPUD.ca is an online grocery delivery business in Western Canada. We are a passionate team who believe that food touches every aspect of our lives, so we are advocates for sustainable farming practices, sourcing locally, treating animals humanely, and reducing food waste. As a Certified B Corporation since 2013, we are committed to socially responsible business practices.

 

Duties & Responsibilities:

  • Continue the development of exceptional technical teams and leaders through hiring, training, coaching, and performance management.

  • Through your previous experiences and attending Stand Ups, engage in continuous improvement of communication between Engineering and Project Management.
  • Help drive timely decisions through offering clarity regarding the priorities of all Engineering teams.
  • Leverage the strengths of developers and reassign and rebalance if needed, with the goal of creating strong engineering teams and, ultimately, product offerings for our clients.
  • Work with product management to create effective sprint cycles that ensure the delivery of projects on time and within budget.
  • In partnership with Product management, balance product aspirations with engineering realities through assessing client needs, scope, timelines, and budget.
  • Provide non-technical stakeholders with status updates with the ability to explain technical concepts in non-technical language.
  • Collaborate with other team leads to translate overarching business strategy and platform design into engineering tasks.

  • Proven ability to drive end-to-end solutions across multiple components and platforms.
  • Experience managing large customer-facing project teams and budgets, ideally for a SaaS or eCommerce company.
  • Experience building integrations with 3rd party systems and building large scale distributed systems.
