Job description

WHO IS RATEHUB?

We’re a company on a mission. We are a unique Canadian Fintech that is the one‑stop shop for all financial needs of the consumer : Save, Spend, Borrow, Invest, and Protect. Every single team member — from Product & Engineering to Sales & Marketing, Finance, Operations, and everything in between — is obsessed with one thing : helping Canadians make better financial choices. And we’re pretty great at it, too. Via our digital application technology and our award‑winning in‑house brokerages, we help over 2M Canadians per month make a positive impact on their finances. We have many unique businesses : a mortgage brokerage, a life insurance brokerage, a home and auto insurance brokerage, a mortgage originations and servicing business, a Financial Services Marketplace, and a content business across Ratehub and MoneySense. 365 days a year, we deliver our users the best online mortgage experience, personalized credit card and loan options, and cheaper auto and home insurance policies than they typically get from their existing financial adviser.

Changing how people make financial choices isn’t easy, though. We know that achieving our mission is full of challenges — challenges that can be complex and often unexpected but that are always interesting, rewarding, and fun to solve as a team. This is where you come in. We are on the hunt for the right candidate to join us and help lead us forward to continued growth.

We’re looking for an experienced Software Development Manager (SDM) who combines strong technical and analytical capabilities with a proven ability to deliver results quickly and effectively. In this role, you will lead a talented team of engineers to build scalable, customer‑facing software products through iterative, data‑driven development. You will act as both a strategic operator and an execution‑focused leader, ensuring the on‑time delivery of high‑quality, differentiated solutions that create measurable impact. You’ll also be a strong people leader, capable of mentoring and scaling a high‑performing engineering team.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

Technical Strategy and Execution

  • Own the end‑to‑end delivery of key projects, ensuring high standards of quality, reliability, and scalability.
  • Drive engineering best practices across the full development lifecycle, including design reviews, code quality, testing, deployment, and monitoring.
  • Use data and metrics to inform decisions, prioritize work, and continuously improve solutions.
  • Balance short‑term delivery with long‑term system health, advocating for reduced technical debt and strategic architecture improvements.

People Leadership

  • Hire, mentor, and develop high‑performing engineers through regular coaching, performance reviews, and career planning.
  • Foster a culture of ownership, learning, experimentation, and engineering excellence.
  • Create an environment where engineers are empowered, aligned, and able to deliver their best work.
  • Contribute to quarterly planning and help shape Ratehub’s broader technical and product strategy.
  • Collaboration and Communication

  • Partner with Product and Design to define requirements, prioritize backlog items, clarify trade‑offs, and ensure shared ownership of outcomes.
  • Collaborate with other engineering and cross‑functional leaders to align on dependencies, architecture, and long‑term technical direction.
  • Earn trust by communicating progress, risks, and key decisions proactively and effectively to stakeholders and leadership.
  • YOUR QUALIFICATIONS

  • 3+ years of engineering management experience, with a proven ability to hire, develop, and mentor high‑performing engineers.
  • 5+ years of hands‑on software engineering experience building modern web applications.
  • 2+ years of experience in system design or architecture, with a focus on performance, reliability and scalability of new and existing systems.
  • Strong understanding of engineering best practices across the full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, version control, build automation, testing, deployment, and monitoring.
  • Experience partnering with product management, design, and data teams to define requirements, plan roadmaps, and deliver high‑quality solutions.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with an ability to influence and align cross‑functional partners.
  • Ability to work in a fast‑paced, ambiguous, high‑growth environment, with strong ownership and decision‑making skills.
  • Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Nice‑to‑haves :

  • Experience leading software development for customer‑facing financial services or fintech products.
  • OUR TECH STACK

  • Back‑end : Node / Express, PHP / Laravel, Java
  • Front‑end : Javascript / React, styled‑components / CSS, Next.js

  • Growth mindset – we set ambitious goals and challenge the status quo. We take responsible risks and are accountable for our actions.
  • Better together – we are One team with One common goal. We make our footprint bigger than our foot, leave our egos at the door, support each other to achieve great results as One company.
  • Run after problems – we tackle problems head on and focus on finding solutions. Obstacles are seen as opportunities for growth and innovation. We have the hard conversations and choose the harder right over the easier wrong. And we do it with a smile.
  • Measure Learn Iterate Innovate – we focus on getting things done. We measure what matters, iterate, learn, iterate many times in a data‑driven way, which is how we will innovate.
  • JOB PERKS :

  • Competitive salary : We know it’s expensive to live / work in Canada
  • Remote‑first organization : we love opportunities to get together as a team, but for the most part we offer our employees the flexibility to work anywhere in Canada
  • Flexible hours : Enjoy a couple more hours of sleep in the morning, if you want
  • Benefits : Health is wealth! A benefits package with no employee contribution required
  • Perks : RRSP matching program, individual training allowance, fun team socials (remote AND in‑person) and more!
