Who You'll Be Joining:

You'll join the Energy Software Engineering leadership team alongside five Engineering Managers, reporting directly to the Sr Director of Engineering. The team collectively owns the software that keeps millions of homes comfortable, efficient, and connected. Your fingerprints will be across the full stack: the mobile experiences that customers interact with on a daily basis, the utility integrations powering smarter energy grids, the smart building tools that help property managers operate at scale, the APIs that a growing ecosystem of third-party developers builds on, and the connectivity and platform services that hold it all together. The scale is real, the problems are hard, and the impact on people's lives is tangible. If you're looking for a role where the surface area is wide, the ownership is genuine, and there's always something worth building, this is it!

This role follows a hybrid schedule, with in-office work required on Wednesdays and Thursdays from our Toronto office to support collaboration, and flexibility to work remotely for the remainder of the week.

• Architectural Impact: Contribute to ecobee's system architecture with designs that have been battle-tested, resulting in significant, long-lasting impact within a specific domain. Solutions are expected to integrate elegantly with ecobee's broader enterprise architecture and align with company-wide standards.
• Ownership & Delivery: Take end-to-end ownership of full components within your domain of expertise, ensuring that their design, implementation, testing, deployment, and operations meet high standards. These components will likely interact with systems in other domains, requiring careful consideration of cross-team dependencies.
• Code Quality & Debugging: Consistently deliver high-quality, maintainable code. Lead by example in debugging tough, stack-wide issues, finding root causes, and implementing effective solutions.
• Forward-Thinking & Strategic Initiatives: Anticipate future challenges and propose technical solutions that prevent future roadblocks. Participate in evaluating and recommending new technologies and frameworks for the product group.
• Mentorship & Collaboration: Actively mentor other engineers, guiding them toward concrete goals and fostering a culture of feedback and knowledge sharing. Lead or participate in design reviews, post-mortems, and code reviews.
• Innovation & Impact: Drive innovative improvements to processes and best practices across the engineering organization. Contribute to novel solutions that influence ecobee's engineering direction and deliver measurable, high-impact results across multiple teams and domains.
• Cross-team Collaboration: Facilitate and lead discussions across squads, ensuring inclusive decision-making processes and cross-functional buy-in on technical solutions and business decisions. Serve as a trusted advisor and leader within ecobee's engineering community.
