About Proof

Proof is revolutionizing how law firms operate. Our platform is trusted by thousands of legal professionals to streamline workflows and unlock new levels of efficiency. As we scale rapidly, we’re looking for an Engineering Manager who leads with clarity and confidence—but isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves in the code when it matters most.

Overview This role emphasizes leadership with technical depth. You’ll spend most of your energy coaching, unblocking, and guiding engineers, while also jumping into the codebase to debug production issues or prototype proofs of concept when needed. If you want to grow as a leader while staying technically credible, this is the right path.

What You’ll Do Technical Leadership

Stay close enough to the stack to make informed technical decisions

Review PRs, validate designs, and set a high quality bar

Jump into code when needed—whether it’s unblocking a teammate, debugging production, or spiking a new idea

Ensure our frontend and full-stack systems deliver excellent user experiences

Build and nurture a high-performing, collaborative team

Mentor engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and coaching

Create an environment where engineers feel ownership and accountability

Help attract and hire strong engineers who share our hands-on culture

Strategic Execution

Partner with Product and Design to define technical roadmaps

Balance speed, quality, and long-term sustainability in decision-making

Translate vision into execution by connecting strategy with technical reality

Lead by example: you don’t just set standards—you live them

What We’re Looking For Must-Haves

5+ years of experience building production software (frontend or full-stack)

At least 2 years as a tech lead, team lead, or manager

Current experience with modern frontend technologies (React, TypeScript)

Strong track record of building performant, user-friendly applications

Excellent communication in a remote-first environment

The Right Mindset

You’re a leader first, but you keep your technical edge sharp

You’re not afraid to code when it’s the fastest or clearest path forward

You believe credibility as a leader comes from both guidance and action

You care deeply about building products people love to use

Not the Right Fit If…

You want a purely people-management role, away from the technical details

You haven’t written or reviewed production code in a long time

You see hands-on coding as beneath a manager’s role

Bonus Points

Experience scaling frontend performance and accessibility

Strong knowledge of GraphQL and modern API design

Background in design systems or component libraries

Passion for developer experience, CI/CD, and productivity tooling

Startup experience at Series A/B stage

What We Offer Remote-first: Work anywhere in Canada with flexible hours

Competitive Compensation: $160k–$195k CAD

Recharge: Flexible vacation policy that actually encourages time off

Growth: Opportunity to shape both team and product as we scale

Ready to Lead Without Losing Touch? If you’re a frontend-leaning or full-stack engineer who’s ready to grow as a leader—without becoming “just a manager”—we’d love to hear from you.
