You could join one of the following teams

AI Foundations: AI Foundations is responsible for all the underlying tooling and infrastructure to enable teams create and scale AI-powered experiences in Jobber. This is a backend-heavy team working primarily in Rails and Node with an emphasis on supporting and enabling other Jobber feature teams to build high-quality, efficient, and scalable AI-powered experiences.

The role

Reporting to the Manager, Software Engineering, the Intermediate Software Engineer will collaborate with other Software Development members on a Scrum team to build an industry-leading product that helps our customers and their small businesses be successful. We’re looking for people who are ready to solve problems that millions of entrepreneurs are facing and who are eager to develop their craft while contributing to the team’s success.

In this role, you must be committed to writing well-tested, scalable, and well-organized code. In addition, you will customize, extend and experiment with tools, models, harnesses and processes to increase your effectiveness. You’ll have opportunities to learn, collaborate, and grow while supporting your team in delivering high-quality solutions.

As an Intermediate Software Engineer, you will

• Contribute to the design, development, and delivery of features that address customer needs, collaborating with cross-functional teams
• Work closely with senior engineers to refine requirements and scope technical solutions.
• Write, review, and maintain clean, scalable, and well-documented code.
• Participate in code reviews to ensure code quality and maintainability.
• Collaborate with your team to identify and solve technical challenges.
• Share knowledge and learn from others through paired programming, team discussions, and technical documentation.
• Stay curious and keep up to date with the latest tools, technologies, and best practices in software development.
• Build with AI as a core part of how you work. We expect engineers to delegate real work to agents daily, verify what comes back, and keep improving their own setup so each task makes the next one easier.

To be successful, you should have

• Proficiency in writing clean, maintainable, and testable code.
• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum development methodologies.
• A structured understanding of common backend frameworks, technologies, and patterns.
• Familiarity working with observability tools such as DataDog.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a collaborative mindset.
• A willingness to learn, adapt, and grow as part of a team.
• Daily hands-on experience building with agentic AI tools, beyond autocomplete or chat: you delegate real work to agents as part of how you ship.

It would be great (but not a deal-breaker) if you had:

• Experience with our development stack: React, React Native, TypeScript, Ruby on Rails
• Familiarity with GraphQL API Layer and its optimization.
• Prior experience working on scalable distributed systems.
• Exposure to background processing frameworks (e.g., Sidekiq, Active Jobs).

Hiring Process

• An interview with a Talent team member (45 mins)
• A Hiring Manager Interview (60 mins),
• A take-home challenge with a follow-up Functional Interview (90 mins),
• A Senior Leadership Interview (30 mins).

Location

We believe great collaboration is intentional, and sometimes that means coming together in person to build, brainstorm, and connect. To support this, the role is open to candidates based in one of our hub cities: Edmonton, Toronto, Vancouver, or Kitchener-Waterloo.

Compensation

At Jobber, we believe that compensation should be transparent, fair, and supportive of your experience and growth. This role has a minimum annual salary of $106,600, a midpoint of $125,400, and a maximum salary of $144,200, designed to reflect the progression from learning the ropes to truly excelling.

We design our compensation to reflect each new hire's skills, experience, and the complexity of the role, ensuring a fair and competitive salary. Our range is intentionally broad to support growth and long-term impact, with fully established hires typically starting around the midpoint. The higher end of the range is reserved for those who have demonstrated deep expertise and lasting contributions, while offers below the midpoint reflect strong potential with room to develop. This approach ensures that compensation aligns with both an individual's current capabilities and their opportunity for future growth.

Base salary is just one part of a total compensation package that will include equity rewards, annual stipends for health and wellness, retirement savings matching, and an extended health pac
