About the Role

Canary's engineering team is fully remote!

We're looking for a Lead Engineer to join our team to enable Canary's next phase of growth. You should be a strong technical leader that can deal with ambiguity, be able to define and guide our future architecture, and manage junior engineers. You should also care deeply about the customer experience and work closely with Product Managers to inform product decision-making. The services built and owned by you will have to operate at a large scale and hence passion and discipline around operational excellence are essential.

Responsibilities

Think about overall architecture and own its evolution based on engineering and product needs

Understand metrics and how our customers use our products, strong voice on product decisions and prioritization

Build engineering execution plans, breakdown and assign work to engineers in the pod

Run pod processes autonomously and escalate appropriately when required

Participate in hiring and interviewing

Qualifications

Proven Engineering Leadership: 3+ years of experience leading successful engineering teams, paired with 5+ years of experience in an individual contributor role.

Python Expertise: Expert-level Python skills with deep knowledge of at least one industry-standard framework, such as Django or Flask.

Full-Stack Fluency: Strong JavaScript skills and a solid foundation in developing complex backend applications.

Architectural Depth: Advanced database design skills and a demonstrated ability to ship high-quality, scalable products.

Modern Infrastructure: Practical experience using Docker and cloud technologies, specifically Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Elite Communication: "Class-A" communication skills—curious, thoughtful, clear, and (mostly) correct—with a passion for building consensus and credibility within a diverse team.

Operational Excellence: A self-motivated, collaborative, and diligent work ethic, with a high degree of comfort in navigating ambiguity.

Ownership Mentality: An eagerness to embrace accountability and take full ownership of technical outcomes.

Educational Foundation: A BA/BS in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience; an MS or PhD is a plus.

We also work hard to ensure Canary is a fun and exciting place to work! Here are some of the additional benefits:

Canary Days: As a company we want to ensure that the team has time to recharge. Each month we provide company wide days off to ensure there is at least one extended weekend or day off.

Professional Development Chats: We provide budget to help drive cross functional professional development conversations across the organization.
