Additional Information

Hi, we are ecobee. ecobee introduced the world's first smart Wi-Fi thermostat to help millions of consumers save money, conserve energy, and bring home automation into their lives. That was just the beginning. We continue our pursuit to create technology that brings peace of mind into the home and allows people to focus on the moments that matter most. We take pride in making a meaningful difference to the environment, all while being part of the exciting, connected home revolution. In 2021, ecobee became a subsidiary of Generac Power Systems. Generac introduced the first affordable backup generator and later created the category of automatic home standby generator. The company is committed to sustainable, cleaner energy products poised to revolutionize the 21st century electrical grid. Together, we take pride in making a meaningful difference to the environment. Why we love to do what we do: We're helping build the world of tomorrow with solutions that improve everyday life while making a positive impact on the planet. Our products and services work in harmony to provide comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind for millions of homes and businesses. While we're proud of what we've done so far, there's still a lot we can do-and you can be part of it. Join our extraordinary team. We're a rapidly growing global tech company headquartered in Canada, in the heart of downtown Toronto, with an office in Leeds, UK, and remote ecopeeps in the US. We get to work with some of North America and UK's leading professionals. Our colleagues are proud to bring their authentic selves to work, confident that what we do is grounded in a greater purpose. We're always looking for curious, talented, and passionate people to join our team. Who You'll Be Joining: You'll join the Energy Software Engineering leadership team alongside five Engineering Managers, reporting directly to the Sr Director of Engineering. The team collectively owns the software that keeps millions of homes comfortable, efficient, and connected. Your fingerprints will be across the full stack: the mobile experiences that customers interact with on a daily basis, the utility integrations powering smarter energy grids, the smart building tools that help property managers operate at scale, the APIs that a growing ecosystem of third-party developers builds on, and the connectivity and platform services that hold it all together. The scale is real, the problems are hard, and the impact on people's lives is tangible. If you're looking for a role where the surface area is wide, the ownership is genuine, and there's always something worth building, this is it! This role follows a hybrid schedule, with in-office work required on Wednesdays and Thursdays from our Toronto office to support collaboration, and flexibility to work remotely for the remainder of the week. How You'll Make an Impact: Strengthen our AI enablement foundations to accelerate adoption of agentic workflows within our engineering teams. Partner with principal and staff engineers to improve our engineering practices. Architectural Impact: Contribute to ecobee's system architecture with designs that have been battle-tested, resulting in significant, long-lasting impact within a specific domain. Solutions are expected to integrate elegantly with ecobee's broader enterprise architecture and align with company-wide standards. Ownership & Delivery: Take end-to-end ownership of full components within your domain of expertise, ensuring that their design, implementation, testing, deployment, and operations meet high standards. These components will likely interact with systems in other domains, requiring careful consideration of cross-team dependencies. Code Quality & Debugging: Consistently deliver high-quality, maintainable code. Lead by example in debugging tough, stack-wide issues, finding root causes, and implementing effective solutions. Forward-Thinking & Strategic Initiatives: Anticipate future challenges and propose technical solutions that prevent future roadblocks. Participate in evaluating and recommending new technologies and frameworks for the product group. Mentorship & Collaboration: Actively mentor other engineers, guiding them toward concrete goals and fostering a culture of feedback and knowledge sharing. Lead or participate in design reviews, post-mortems, and code reviews. Innovation & Impact: Drive innovative improvements to processes and best practices across the engineering organization. Contribute to novel solutions that influence ecobee's engineering direction and deliver measurable, high-impact results across multiple teams and domains. Cross-team Collaboration: Facilitate and lead discussions across squads, ensuring inclusive decision-making processes and cross-functional buy-in on technical solutions and business decisions. Serve as a trusted advisor and leader within ecobee's engineering community. What You'll Bring to the Table: 10+ years of experience in software enginee
