Description de poste:

The Role

Prospr is Sun Life's digital front door for Canadians - startup velocity inside a Fortune 500. We're revolutionizing how Canadians access insurance and wealth solutions by building a platform that lets people buy products the way they want to: online in minutes or virtually via a team of trusted, licensed Advisors.

We're not playing it safe. We're building with AI and creating omnichannel experiences - at the speed customers now expect. You lead the squad. Your team's success is your success.

As Engineering Manager, you're accountable for a single squad's delivery, people development, and execution quality. You balance hands-on technical contribution with people leadership. You translate product requirements into executable work, own sprint commitments, and ensure your squad is healthy, productive, and shipping at startup velocity.

You're accountable for how work gets done - sprint execution, code quality, team health, and delivery commitments. You'll lead the squad, working closely with Product Directors to drive business outcomes.

For candidates with these preferred skills, exceptions beyond the usual salary range below may be possible.

What You'll Do

Lead sprint execution and delivery commitments with full accountability

Translate product requirements into clear, executable engineering work

Directly manage developers - h iring, own their performance, growth, engagement, and career development

Enforce engineering standards and code quality within your squad

Stay technically credible - you code when needed and lead technical discussions

Build and maintain a healthy squad culture aligned with Accelerator principles

Remove blockers and manage dependencies with other squads, enterprise teams, and vendors

Own day-to-day delivery coordination with Product, Design, and other squads

Balance technical debt with feature delivery - you make the trade-offs

Operate with startup velocity - fast iterations, continuous deployment, data-driven decisions

What Success Looks Like

Your squad delivers predictably and at high velocity. Engineers are growing and engaged. Code quality is consistently high. The team collaborates well. Product and stakeholders trust your commitments. You're shipping features that drive business outcomes - lead conversion, advisor productivity, straight-through processing rates.

Who You Are

Experienced engineer ready to lead people or current E ngineering M anager from a product-focused tech company

Startup mindset - you know how to ship fast and iterate based on data

Comfortable balancing hands-on technical work with management

Strong at sprint planning, estimation, and execution in an Agile environment

Comfortable having tough conversations about performance, growth, and accountability

Detail-oriented without losing sight of business outcomes

Able to context-switch between code reviews, 1:1s, and stakeholder management

Protective of your team's time and focus while maintaining high throughput

What You Bring

7+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 2+ years in an Engineering Manager (or equivalent team leadership) role.

Experience leading a single squad/team end-to-end (delivery, quality, reliability, and team health), with clear examples of outcomes.

Hands-on expertise with Java, React (or other similar modern Javascript) and enterprise integrations. Experience with Salesforce is an asset.

Demonstrated ability to run team-level execution rituals (planning, sprint/flow management, dependencies, release coordination) and improve delivery predictability.

Experience hiring, onboarding, and developing engineers (coaching, feedback, performance conversations)

Technical credibility to guide design and implementation: comfortable with architecture discussions, code/design reviews, and raising the engineering quality bar.

Proven partnership with Product and Design to shape scope, manage trade - offs, and communicate progress/risks clearly.
