Software Development Manager

Role Description

Hi, I'm Kelvin, an Engineering Manager at Jane. I've been here for a couple of years, and I currently lead within our Insurance group. Before Jane, I led engineering teams at Rise People and RBC Global Asset Management, spanning HR and financial services. Across all of those experiences one thing has stayed constant - I care deeply about building high performing teams that deliver quality work and grow the people on them.

This role will lead our Insurance Setup team - one of three teams in our Insurance group, and the foundation the rest of insurance is built on. Setup owns the configuration layer that clinics rely on to get insurance right before claims start moving, which means the work here quietly enables much of what happens downstream.

There's meaningful strategic work ahead, too. We're investing in bringing more of the insurance experience natively into Jane, and Setup is leading the first phase of that effort. It's a space with real ambiguity, real complexity, and real impact on how clinics across the US and Canada get paid.

You'll lead a team of experienced engineers and partner closely in a triad with Product and Design. There is both mature product to support and evolve, and new discovery work to lead through ambiguity.

What makes this role especially meaningful is the balance - you'll be thinking strategically about where we're heading over the next year, while also ensuring we're delivering high quality outcomes today. You'll have the opportunity to influence beyond your team, raise the bar for engineering leadership at Jane, and help us thoughtfully productize emerging capabilities, including AI.

If you're motivated by building empowered teams, navigating complexity with clarity, and delivering real impact for customers, I'd love to meet you.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of engineering management experience, including leading senior engineers and owning complex technical domains or multiple teams.
• Experience coaching and growing Engineers at all levels, from Junior Engineers to Staff.
• Strong technical depth with the ability to engage in architectural discussions, coach on engineering best practices, and confidently represent technical tradeoffs in cross functional forums.
• Experience operating in a fast paced, high growth SaaS environment where you've balanced strategic planning with hands on delivery and execution.
• Demonstrated success partnering closely with Product and Design in a triad model, including advocating for technical investments and translating engineering work into customer impact.
• Experience navigating ambiguity, driving change, and building empowered, accountable team cultures.
• Exposure to insurance, healthcare, billing or claims, or other regulated, integration-heavy domains - along with AI driven products - is a strong asset.

Requirements

• Build and grow a high performing team by creating clarity, fostering accountability, and developing engineers at every level - including Staff and Senior ICs - through thoughtful coaching and direct feedback.

• Bring systems thinking to a highly connected problem space by anticipating upstream and downstream impacts across the broader insurance workflow, managing change thoughtfully, and influencing across teams to de risk delivery.
• Show up as a strong triad partner by collaborating deeply with Product and Design, constructively challenging ideas when needed, and aligning on clear success metrics that connect technical decisions to customer impact.
• Help lead significant, cross-team initiatives through ambiguity, breaking down complex work into clear slices and keeping delivery moving as priorities evolve.
• Champion pragmatic and responsible AI adoption within your team by exploring opportunities to improve how we build and how our customers experience Jane, while maintaining a high bar for quality, security, and real world value.
