Clio is more than just a tech company–we are a global leader that is transforming the legal experience for all by bettering the lives of legal professionals while increasing access to justice.

Summary:

We are currently seeking a Director of Data Engineering to join our Data Engineering team. This role is available to candidates across Canada and the US. If you are local to one of our hubs (Burnaby, Calgary, or Toronto) you will be expected to be in office minimum once per week on one of our Anchor Days.

The team builds internal infrastructure which enables access to analytical data about Clio's business as well as external infrastructure to help our customers derive insights and make business decisions about the operations of their firm. Externally and internally, this team helps power business decisions from the tactical to the strategic.

At Clio we strive to be both human and high performing. For a Director of Data Engineering this means supporting and growing your people as well as their development practices and velocity. The ideal candidate is someone who can collaborate across the organization to pull together common threads from various data owners and stakeholders, foster discussions about resolving common friction points and unknowns, and ultimately put their hands on the keyboard to “lead from the front” and create solutions. The successful candidate will have a mandate to support and accelerate all data initiatives at Clio as well as a license to help define our data strategy.

A day in the life might look like:

  • Directly supervise, mentor, and collaborate with data engineering managers and contributors who are in the thick of it every day

  • Navigate Clio to distill requirements, find friction points, and ultimately deliver impactful internal solutions that provide understanding and power decision-making

  • Partner with Clio’s product development teams to ensure that all of Clio’s products are able to provide actionable business insights for the legal firms that use them

  • Work closely with the recruiting/people team to actively recruit and hire top talent to support Clio’s ambitious growth plans for our infrastructure and development teams

You may be a fit for this role if you have:

  • Demonstrated success as a senior data engineering leader, but are still comfortable pushing code to production

  • A strong background in hands-on software development and data engineering

  • Skill managing and mentoring high-performing teams, nurturing talent, and guiding individuals toward professional growth and development

  • Demonstrated the ability to hire a team of high-performance data engineers who deliver broad impact across the business

  • A diverse base of knowledge that allows you to help your team solve complex technical problems

  • Strong opinions that are weakly held, and foster that same attitude in others

  • A habit of providing honest, actionable feedback to your team and encouraging your team to reciprocate

  • The ability to synthesize roadmaps that guide your team, but aren't beholden to them -- you easily adapt to a constantly changing world.

Serious bonus points if you have:

  • A philosophy on what makes for great engineering teams;

  • Experience with AirFlow;

  • Experience with Databricks;

  • Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code.

What you will find here:

Compensation is one of the main components of Clio’s Total Rewards Program. We have developed a series of programs and processes to ensure we are creating fair and competitive pay practices that form the foundation of our human and high-performing culture.

  • $2000 annual counseling benefit

  • RRSP matching and RESP contribution

What you need to know about the Calgary Tech Scene

Employees can spend up to one-third of their life at work, so choosing the right company is crucial, not just for the job itself but for the company culture as well. While startups often offer dynamic culture and growth opportunities, large corporations provide benefits like career development and networking, especially appealing to recent graduates. Fortunately, Calgary stands out as a hub for both, recognized as one of Startup Genome's Top 100 Emerging Ecosystems, while also playing host to a number of multinational enterprises. In Calgary, job seekers can find a wide range of opportunities.
