Strong collaboration and communication skills, able to work as a strategic partner to product leadership. Experience managing remote teams and scaling engineering processes in SaaS or high-growth tech environments. Work on innovative projects in a fast-growing, fully remote SaaS environment. Competitive compensation range for LATAM: $120,000 – $160,000 CAD (paid in USD, adjusted for local cost of living). Access to company-wide perks, including education allowances.
