About the role
About Proof
Proof is a high-growth company transforming the legal tech space. Our best-in-class platform is trusted by thousands of law firms to streamline legal operations and drive efficiency. We're growing rapidly and looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager to help scale our technology, lead a high-performing team, and make a meaningful impact on the legal industry.
What You'll Do
We're looking for a technical leader who combines deep engineering expertise with empathetic people management. You'll lead a remote team across backend, frontend, and full-stack, while contributing directly to architecture, delivery, and product direction.
Responsibilities
- Lead and grow a high-impact engineering team, fostering a culture of quality, ownership, and continuous improvement.
- Roll up your sleeves to write and review code, guide architecture decisions, and unblock critical paths.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Design, and other stakeholders to define, scope, and execute ambitious initiatives.
- Drive technical excellence through code reviews, design discussions, and hands-on mentorship.
- Set and deliver on team-level OKRs aligned with business priorities.
- Proactively identify and address gaps in testing, monitoring, performance, and developer workflows.
- Hire, onboard, and retain top-tier engineering talent.
- Bring clarity and direction to fast-moving and ambiguous contexts.
What You Bring
- 5+ years of software engineering experience, including 2+ years in technical leadership or management.
- Proficiency with modern backend and frontend stacks (e.g., Go, Ruby, TypeScript, React).
- A hands-on mindset—you're comfortable diving into code or system design when needed.
- A track record of delivering complex projects end-to-end.
- Clear, calm, and thoughtful communication, even under pressure.
- A user-focused, pragmatic approach to problem-solving.
- A bias for action, with strong technical judgment and leadership maturity.
Nice to Have
- Startup experience, ideally at the Series A/B stage.
- Experience shipping polished, performant UIs using React and TypeScript.
- Familiarity with tools like GraphQL, Storybook, Playwright, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Deep understanding of frontend performance metrics (Web Vitals, Lighthouse) and optimization strategies.
- Experience building and maintaining design systems or component libraries.
- Commitment to accessibility best practices.
- Experience with observability, developer experience tooling, or message brokers (Kafka, RabbitMQ).
- Background in compliance-heavy industries (legal, healthcare, finance).
- Strong product instincts and comfort navigating trade-offs between speed, UX, and tech debt.
Perks & Benefits
- Remote-first: work from anywhere in Canada
- Competitive salary: $160,000–$195,000 CAD, based on experience
- Flexible vacation and time-off policy
- Company-provided equipment
- Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and disability coverage
About PROOF
PROOF stands for the Pro Rata Opportunity Fund. We invest strategic capital alongside select early stage VC firms, to maximize upside in their best performing companies.
Venture capital firms investing in early stage companies typically negotiate ‘pro-rata investment rights,’ allowing them to maintain ownership in subsequent rounds of funding as they grow. Since early stage VCs invest across a broad swath of portfolio companies, over time, they inevitably run out of capital to maintain their pro-rata ownership in their best performing companies. When pro-rata is surrendered, board seats and the right to invest in future rounds are at stake.
Through our investments, we allow our network partner VCs to maintain their influence on the board, preserve their position in the cap table and optimize returns in companies experiencing meteoric growth.
