Job description

Join a forward-thinking technology organization where you'll have the opportunity to shape the future of engineering, security, and AI-driven innovation. We're looking for an experienced Head of Engineering to lead a talented team, define technical strategy, and build scalable, secure cloud solutions that support enterprise customers across a variety of environments.

This role is ideal for a collaborative leader who enjoys empowering engineers, partnering with customers, and influencing technology decisions that have a lasting impact.

  • Strong background in cloud-native platforms, modern infrastructure, and software delivery, including AWS, Kubernetes, CI/CD, Infrastructure-as-Code, and secure, scalable architecture across cloud environments.
  • Deep understanding of cloud security, DevSecOps, enterprise compliance frameworks (SOC 2 or similar), secure software development, and engineering governance.

Desired Skills & Experience

  • Experience driving AI adoption within engineering organizations, including Agentic AI, large language models (LLMs), intelligent automation, AI governance, and identifying practical opportunities to improve engineering efficiency and customer outcomes.
  • A collaborative leadership style with experience mentoring engineering managers and senior technical leaders while building high-performing, engaged engineering teams that embrace innovation and continuous learning.
  • Strong customer-facing and solution architecture experience, with the ability to partner with executive stakeholders, translate business goals into technology strategy, and lead complex cloud transformation initiatives across diverse customer environments.

You will receive the following benefits:

· Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance

· Vacation Time

Current Vacancy: Yes

Use of AI in Hiring: No

Applicants must be currently authorized to work in Canada on a full-time basis now and in the future.
