About the Company

Webcasting is a massive and growing B2B industry offering public and private-sector organizations the ability to build brands, communicate with stakeholders and educate audiences.

You’re a strong technologist who relishes the idea of helming a software development organization.

Serving over 500 clients worldwide, this 10-year-old company is one of North America’s leading providers of enterprise webcasting software.

Offering solutions via a feature-rich SaaS platform, backed by a decade of industry-specific expertise, this Toronto-based organization enables marketing and lead generation, training and online certification, corporation communications and more.

The Opportunity

Working across a spectrum of web and database technologies, your expertise will help this burgeoning young company strike a delicate balance between the demands of a robust, end-to-end provisioning platform and an agile, solution-agnostic environment.

Team leadership and project management (60%), technical documentation (20%), hands-on coding (20%)

Reporting directly to the CEO, your voice will shape decisions around the technology table. Development methodology, process improvements, best practices, and the selection of ‘A-level’ personnel will fall under your purview.

Your main engineering objective will be to iterate an industry-leading webcasting platform that offers enterprise integration, content management, and interface customization as well as end-to-end provisioning and support process for resellers.

You’ll need the vision to anticipate where webcasting technology is going, and the ability to balance the bottom-line needs of today with the architectural requirements of tomorrow. Along the way, you’ll build a methodology backed by gold-standard best practices and quality/testing standards.

This position is an opportunity to build upon a best-in-class technology platform, adding your ideas, technical experience, and leadership in an entrepreneurial environment while growing the teams that will see your ideas through.
