Job description

Flywheel's suite of digital commerce solutions accelerate growth across all major digital marketplaces for the world's leading brands. We give clients access to near real-time performance measurement and improve sales, share, and profit. With teams across the Americas, Europe and APAC, we offer a career with real impact, endless growth opportunities and the support you need to be the best you can be.

As Director of Engineering, you will play a key leadership role, guiding teams building advertising bidding algorithms that perform millions of bids daily and continuously optimize campaign performance. You will partner closely with Product, Design, Data, and other functions to deliver robust, scalable, and innovative solutions for our customers. You’ll help shape our engineering culture, drive operational excellence, and develop the next generation of technical leaders.

What you'll do :

  • Lead and mentor multiple engineering teams responsible for core platform components, ensuring a collaborative and high-performance culture.
  • Drive engineering execution and delivery—establishing clear goals, processes, and best practices to ensure timely, high-quality product releases.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional leaders (Product, Design, Data, QA) to align technical execution with business goals and customer needs.
  • Guide architectural and technical decisions to ensure our platforms are reliable, scalable, secure, and cost-effective.
  • Promote engineering excellence through code reviews, design reviews, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement and learning.
  • Attract, hire, and develop top engineering talent, with a focus on building a diverse and inclusive team.
  • Support operational excellence by driving incident management, technical debt remediation, and platform reliability initiatives.
  • Represent engineering in strategic planning, roadmap discussions, and executive forums as needed.

Who you are :

  • Experienced engineering leader with 7+ years in software engineering roles, and 3+ years managing engineering teams (including managers and senior / staff engineers) in a SaaS, ecommerce, or tech-driven environment.
  • Strong technical background in web-based platforms and data-intensive systems; hands‑on experience with Python, Django, Flask, ReactJS, Airflow, and cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure) is a plus.
  • Proven track record of building, scaling, and operating high‑availability, data‑driven products.
  • Excellent collaborator and communicator, able to work across teams and functions and clearly articulate technical concepts to non‑technical audiences.
  • Passionate about people development, with a history of mentoring and growing engineers and technical leaders.
  • Customer‑focused and data‑driven, with a bias for action and a commitment to delivering business value.
  • Experienced in scaling systems that ingest and process large volumes of data.
  • Committed to fostering an inclusive, high‑performance engineering culture.
  • Salary Range

    $200,000 - $200,000 CAD

    Working at Flywheel

  • We have office hubs across the globe where team members can go to feel productive, inspired, and connected to others – team members go into Hub Offices 3x a week.
  • Flexible vacation time.
  • Great learning and development opportunities.
  • Benefits that help you live your best life.
  • Parental leave and benefits.
  • Volunteering opportunities.
  • If you’re looking to connect with teammates on a topic of inclusion and identity, chances are there’s an ERG for that.
  • Inclusive Workforce
