Job Description & How to Apply Below
Overview
Engineering Manager, Frontend - Remote (Canada). Proof is revolutionizing how law firms operate. Our platform has become the trusted choice for thousands of legal professionals who depend on us to streamline their workflows and unlock new levels of efficiency. As we scale rapidly, we're seeking an Engineering Manager who codes alongside their team and leads by example.
The Role:
A True Player-Coach
This is not a meetings-only management role. We need someone who writes production code regularly, reviews PRs daily, and stays deeply connected to our technical stack. You'll be in the codebase every day—debugging issues, shipping features, and setting the technical bar high. If you're looking to step away from code, this isn't the right fit. If you want to stay technical while growing as a leader, keep reading.
Your Impact
Write production code regularly—you'll own features from start to finish
Lead by example through high-quality code contributions and thorough PR reviews
Jump into the codebase to unblock your team and solve critical technical challenges
Prototype solutions, spike complex features, and validate architectural decisions through code
Maintain deep familiarity with our systems—you'll be on-call rotation with your team
Debug production issues and optimize performance bottlenecks directly
Drive frontend excellence and modern UI/UX practices across the team
Team Leadership & Growth
Build and nurture a high-performing engineering team that values quality and ownership
Mentor engineers through pair programming, code reviews, and technical discussions
Champion a remote-first culture that promotes collaboration and work-life balance
Lead hiring efforts to attract exceptional engineering talent who share our hands-on philosophy
Foster a culture where everyone, including you, ships code regularly
Strategic Execution
Partner with Product and Design to translate business objectives into technical roadmaps
Define and track team OKRs that directly support company goals
Make thoughtful trade-offs between speed, quality, and technical debt
Establish engineering standards through example—your code sets the bar
Bridge the gap between design vision and technical implementation
What We're Looking For
Essential Experience
5+ years building production software, with 2+ years leading engineering teams (tech lead ok)
Current, hands-on expertise with modern frontend technologies (React, Type Script) and full-stack development
Strong track record building polished, performant user interfaces
Active coding practice—you're shipping production code today, not just remembering how
Experience across the entire stack, with particular strength in frontend or full-stack development
Excellence in both written and verbal communication, especially in remote settings
The Right Mindset
You're energized by coding and couldn't imagine a role without it
You believe the best engineering managers stay close to the technology
You lead through action—your team respects you because you're in the trenches with them
You're passionate about user experience and building products people love to use
You can seamlessly switch between deep technical work and strategic thinking
You're comfortable saying "let me code up a proof of concept" in planning meetings
Red Flags (this role isn't for you if...)
You want to focus purely on people management and process
You haven't written production code in the last 6 months
You prefer to delegate all technical work to your team
You see hands-on coding as beneath your role as a manager
You're not excited about frontend development and user experience
