Our mission
Local Logic is digitizing the built world to make it universally understandable and actionable for consumers, investors, developers, and governments with the ambition of helping build cities that are more sustainable and equitable for the people that live in them.
To achieve that dream, we’ve built a digital twin of cities, quantifying the built world using data and AI to interpret the $217T real estate market throughout the US and Canada.
We started our journey at McGill University’s urban planning department, where we came to see that cities were being developed in all kinds of unsustainable ways. Why were sprawling suburbs still being built, when doing so would increase pollution and inequality? Why were new business parks being built far from mass transit, when doing so would make traffic congestion skyrocket? Why was social housing being built in places that would exacerbate social problems rather than improve them?
It became clear to us why: cities are incredibly difficult to understand. But we realized that with recent advances in data science, all the complexity of cities could be made simple enough for anyone to understand. And that understanding would be essential to making the sustainable, equitable, and prosperous cities that we so desperately need.
Today, Local Logic delivers sophisticated location insights through webtools, APIs, one-click reports and a data analytics platform. Our insights are powered by billions of data points we’ve generated that describe all aspects of cities — from the distance to the nearest bus stop, the quietness on a street, to the most recent trends in the housing market and more.
Your mission
As a Local Logic Engineering Manager, you’ll be responsible for leading one or more engineering teams (a.k.a. pods) to deliver on our ambitious goals. You are a product-centric leader who deeply understands that great development teams need leadership along the 3 main dimensions (people, process, and technology) in order to build great products.
You believe in our mission and want to help us achieve it. You bring your own unique perspective to the team, so you can challenge the way we do things for the better. You’re able to speak up when you disagree, ask questions when you don’t understand, and take ownership of your work.
We’re a remote-enabled company, so if you want to work remotely once a week, twice a week, or five days a week, you’ll have all the necessary tools and support you need to do so.
As Engineering manager, your responsibilities will include:
Managing all activities of a cross-functional agile development team, including ceremonies, SDLC processes, quality, change management/leadership, deployment, and production monitoring / response.
Coaching and mentoring team members to support them in their professional development
Scoping new products & features with Product Managers, Designers, Researchers, and team members
Supporting (and loving) our customers through our account management & support teams.
Active participation in recruiting and onboarding activities.
Key requirements:
2+ years of experience managing cross-functional agile teams in a fast-paced and growing tech environment
Highly organized, and proud of it. You know how to deliver software!
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills (notably listening)
Empathetic in your approach (see yourself as a “servant-leader”)
Experience coaching and mentoring direct reports or others across the organization
Ability to embrace change and adapt to shifting priorities (agile mindset)
Experience with modern web development technologies and best practices
Experience with cloud computing (AWS a big plus) and serverless architectures (asset)
Experience managing remote enabled teams
Startup experience and mindset is a key asset
