Senior Development Manager - Developer Acceleration

About The Role

Hi, I'm Kristien, a Director of Engineering at Jane leading our Dev Acceleration team. This team’s mission is to experiment with ways AI can help our developers build and ship better software, faster. Jane is founder-led and our mission is to help the helpers. This team is one way we do that: the quicker our developers can build, the sooner the clinics who rely on Jane get what they need.

AI tools and ideas change every week, so this team moves fast. We try things, keep what works, and happily drop what doesn't. You'll lead a small, experienced team who head out to explore, then come back together to build. You won't have a triad to lean on, so you'll work closely with developers across Jane, get close to how they write code, and bring them along with clear and honest communication.

This is a big, visible role. You'll help set how a whole engineering org works with AI, and you'll be the person who makes that change land. If you love listening to a problem before jumping to a solution, and you get a kick out of helping people get excited about something new, I'd love to meet you.

What Impact We’re Looking for You to Make

• Lead and coach a small, senior team of engineers who explore new AI approaches on their own, then come back together to build.
• Champion AI-assisted development across engineering, bringing teams along with clear and honest communication.
• Partner with developers across Jane to understand how they write code today, so every experiment solves a real problem for them.
• Shape how we measure progress, so we move faster without lowering the quality bar.
• Connect the people across Jane who are already experimenting with AI, so what one person learns helps everyone.

What Experience We Need

• You understand the active code-writing problem and what developers on product teams face day to day, because you have worked close to the code yourself.
• You have led this kind of transformation for development work before, and held or raised the quality bar while doing it.
• You are a strong communicator with a software evangelist's energy and real experience leading organizational change. You can explain the problem you're solving and how, and keep people excited along the way.
• You are a strong collaborator who can set a team up for deep, real enablement with product teams.
• You are a pragmatic operator who gets into the weeds of measuring progress and defining success, then fits it into a strategy that lands. You work iteratively and get us to a baseline fast, so longer-term choices are made with confidence.

Compensation & Benefits

At Jane, we’re committed to paying fairly, clearly, and above all, paying for growth. This role has an annual salary range of $190,400 CAD to $309,400 CAD. While that is a large range, it is intentional. It reflects the full growth journey someone might take in the role, from developing skills early on to becoming highly proficient and ultimately achieving excellence.

Most new hires join at the accomplished stage, which for this role represents an annual salary of $226,100 CAD. A starting salary below this typically indicates a candidate with strong potential who is still developing key skills. Salaries above this usually apply to existing team members who have made a significant impact and bring deep Jane-specific knowledge.

We believe in paying for growth. You’ll have regular career development conversations with your manager and your compensation will grow as you gain experience and contribute meaningfully to our mission.

Paying clearly is one of our compensation fundamentals. Watch this short video to learn how our salary bands are set. You’re also encouraged to ask questions about compensation at any point during the interview process.
