We believe small businesses are at the heart of our communities, and championing them is worth fighting for. We empower small business owners to manage their finances fearlessly, by offering the simplest, all-in-one financial management solution they can't live without.

About the Engineering Team:

As a member of the technology leadership team and reporting into the CTO, the Principal Engineer is responsible for leading our architectural strategy and ensuring the alignment of technology solutions with business goals. The role involves collaborating with stakeholders to define technology roadmaps, developing innovative architectural solutions, and ensuring alignment with industry standards and best practices. You will work to deliver exciting products and provide architectural leadership and vision for projects, and investigate new ideas as we help small businesses find their thrive.

Here’s What You Should Know About Engineering at Wave:

    • Our Technology: Wave is powered by several key technologies. Our toolkit is primarily Python and Django on the service layer, with some Ruby and Golang as well. GraphQL and REST power our APIs, and our web/mobile front-ends are React and ReactNative with Typescript. We expect software developers to have proficiency in one or more of these areas. You will be expected to be able to cross technical domains and contribute to both the back-end and front-end as needs arise.
    • Your Work Will Matter: Engineering managers at Wave are responsible to their teams and their stakeholders.  You will need to maintain solid relationships with Product Managers, Designers, and members of the Product Compliance team.  You will work to keep team morale and productivity high, providing a viable career path to everyone on your team.  You will evaluate, coach and promote your team members, learning from other Engineering managers at Wave as you hone your own people management skills.
    • We Are a Community: Wave is about the size of a small neighbourhood. It is possible to get to know everyone on a personal basis. If you’re trying to solve a hard problem that has roots in some other part of the company, odds are pretty good that you’ll find someone close by who can help you out.
    • You Will be Stretched: We’re big on transparency and we know Wave isn’t for everyone. However, if you’re ready to flex your creativity, excel at your craft, fuel your curiosity, and thrive in a dynamic environment, we’re confident you’ll love being a Waver

Here’s How You Make an Impact:

    • Define and lead architectural strategy across the technology organization: Develop and maintain the architectural vision across multiple technology teams, ensuring security, scalability/reliability, and performance. Help to shape a technology strategy that will enable Wave to achieve our objectives as a business.
    • Enable Wave’s business strategy and company objectives; engage with stakeholders to create scalable, robust and secure technical designs; balancing objectives with optimal performance of applications. Accelerate customer, business, and technology outcomes by identifying and driving key opportunities across Wave.
    • Foster cross-team collaboration and drive strategic technology direction: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including Engineering, Product Management, Security, and Data and AI to ensure seamless integration of architectural solutions.
    • Innovate and future proof our business: Drive the technical strategy and build multi-year (3+) roadmaps with hands-on leadership in architecture and implementation. Stay current with industry trends and emerging technologies, evaluating their potential impact on Wave’s architectural landscape.
    • Hands-on engineering leadership; Create and review architectural designs, specifications, and documentation for various projects, ensuring high quality and adherence to industry best practices. Solve technical problems of the highest scope, complexity, and ambiguity for the business. Teach, mentor, grow, and provide advice to other domain experts, individual contributors, across several teams within Technology.
At Wave, you’re treated like the incredible human being you are. 

Work From Where You Work Best: We will always have a welcoming, energizing, and world-class office (in Toronto) with a space for you. Or, if you’re more comfortable working from home, the choice is yours.
We Care About Future You: You will stretch yourself and you will grow at Wave. You will also be supported on this journey with diverse learning experiences, educational allowances, mentorship, and so much more.
We Support the Full You: We make a serious investment in your health & wellness. When we think about benefits we think about body, mind, & soul and we take this stuff very seriously. 
We Take Care of the Fundamentals: Fair compensation, all the office perks you’d want, and the various goodies you’d expect from a growing tech company. This is the obvious stuff, but we don’t want you to think we forgot!

We believe that a diverse and inclusive culture creates the best workplace. We embrace our differences, value individuality, and the broad spectrum of every Waver's skills and abilities. We challenge each other from a place of respect and pursuit of continuous growth. We trust each other and encourage everyone to bring their authentic selves to work, everyday. As Wavers, our voices matter, our opinions are met with an open mind. The best ideas win, no matter whose they are.  Contributing to an inclusive culture is a part of all of our job descriptions. 

We’ve been continuously recognized as one of Canada's Top Ten Most Admired Corporate Cultures and one of Canada’s Great Places to Work in categories including Technology, Millennials, Mental Health, Inclusion and Women.
