About the role
Proof is a high growth company in the legal tech industry, providing a best-in-class legal services platform used by thousands of law firms. We help legal teams streamline operations and improve efficiency, driving an impressive month-over-month growth. We're looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager to help shape our technology, grow our team, and make a lasting impact on the legal industry.
What you will do
We’re seeking an Engineering Manager who blends strong technical skills with empathetic leadership. You’ll lead a remote engineering team while contributing directly to design decisions, code reviews, and the technical roadmap.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead a team of engineers (backend, frontend, and full-stack), fostering a culture of accountability, quality, and continuous improvement.
- Contribute directly to architecture and code, especially during critical technical decisions or delivery bottlenecks.
- Partner closely with Product, Design, and other functions to scope, plan, and execute complex initiatives.
- Participate in code reviews, architecture sessions, and debugging efforts as needed.
- Mentor engineers through both technical and career growth, promoting learning and ownership.
- Define and drive team-level OKRs that are ambitious, measurable, and aligned with business goals.
- Identify gaps in quality, testing, monitoring, or delivery—and lead initiatives to address them.
- Help hire and onboard top-tier engineering talent.
- Drive clarity and execution in fast-moving, ambiguous contexts.
What You'll Bring On Day One
- 5+ years of software engineering experience, with 2+ years in a tech leadership or management role .
- A strong foundation in modern backend and frontend technologies (e.g., Go, Ruby, TypeScript, React).
- A hands-on approach—you’re comfortable stepping into code or system design when needed.
- Experience running projects end-to-end: from problem definition through design, implementation, and delivery.
- Exceptional communication skills: you bring clarity, curiosity, and calm under pressure.
- A bias for action, balanced with technical rigor and empathy for users and teammates.
Nice To Have
- Experience at a fast-growing startup (Series A/B preferred).
- You’ve shipped complex UIs with React and TypeScript that feel fast, polished, and bulletproof.
- You know how to measure performance (Web Vitals, Lighthouse, RUM) and how to fix it when it's off.
- You’ve built and maintained design systems or contributed to scalable component libraries.
- You care about accessibility , and you don’t treat it as optional.
- You’ve worked with GraphQL , Storybook , Playwright , and CI/CD pipelines that catch bugs before your users do.
- You’ve dealt with tricky browser bugs, rendering glitches, or mobile edge cases—and won.
- You have opinions about DX and aren’t shy about making your team’s workflow smoother.
- Familiarity with message brokers (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ).
- Experience with CI/CD, testing, observability, or dev productivity tooling.
- Exposure to compliance-heavy or regulated industries like legal, health, or finance.
- Bonus points if you’ve navigated product/UX/engineering trade-offs and still shipped on time.
Perks & Benefits
- Remote-first — work anywhere in Canada
- Competitive vacation & flexible time off
- Equipment provided
- Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and disability coverage
- Full-time salary position: $160,000–$195,000 CAD , based on experience
