Join Our Mission: Help the Helpers with Jane
Let's kick things off with a quick intro. Jane is a team that's all about fostering growth, spreading delight, and serving our healthcare community. We're on the hunt for people ready to jump in and join us while we simplify the lives of healthcare practitioners and patients daily. And guess what? Jane is a remote-first company, meaning every role at Jane, including this one, is remote - giving you the freedom to work from any corner of Canada.
Learn More About Us
We're founder-led, which means we live our values while maintaining a clear vision for the future. Our product enables the likes of physiotherapists, mental health counsellors, chiropractors, and other allied health practitioners to run their practices in a digital-first way through features such as online booking, charting, scheduling, telehealth, secure payments and billing along with an evolving library of features. You can see more of them here.
There is often a high bar set, not just for the quality of work, but for the care we show for each other and our customers. And it’s our customers raising that bar, never standing still and continually improving which keeps us on our toes. It's not just about what you've done before or how quickly you work; it's about your curiosity and drive to solve the right problems and your agility in learning new ways of thinking.
No doubt, Jane's a special place to work. There is autonomy and flexibility to help integrate work into your life in a way that makes sense for you. Need to block out time to pick up the kids? Go for it. That's normal here. And yes, we have a Slack channel for parents, but we've also got channels dedicated to plants, furry friends, food, pride, wellness - you get the idea! While we love to connect virtually, the Jane team also connects in person throughout the year. That comes in the form of departmental get-togethers, company retreats, or possibly a conference or two across North America if you’re keen to learn more about our community of healthcare providers. We're on the search for folks who are ready to dive in and become part of our journey toward making healthcare professionals' lives easier every single day.
You can also learn more about Jane as a company and a product by checking out our Glassdoor reviews and our Capterra Reviews.
But we’ll also keep it real — as much as we love our work, the mountain we're climbing is always getting taller. We're a growing company, and with that comes the challenge of navigating an environment with many moving parts, often without a clear-cut path laid out in front of us. This is where you come in. If you're the kind of person who gets a kick out of being resourceful and loves solving problems, you'll fit right in.
We believe in collaboration, humility, and keeping a growth mindset. We're looking for people who can embrace our way of working, which often means being flexible and open to change. So, if after reading this, you feel excited about the opportunity — all in the name of helping those who help others — reach out to us to learn more.
In short, if you're excited by our growth, ready to contribute to a challenging yet rewarding environment, and eager to be a disruptor alongside a team of talented individuals, we’d love to hear from you!
Your Role in Our Journey
Over the past year, Jane has piloted a small but ambitious team exploring how AI-powered tools can accelerate the work of our engineers. From building MergeMate—our AI merge assistant—to championing best practices with tools like Cursor and Copilot, this early work has shown the meaningful ways AI can transform development.
We’re now looking for a Development Manager who will take that momentum and lead the next phase: driving adoption of AI tooling across Jane’s engineering organization. This means not just building and integrating great tools but helping people use them effectively, shifting mindsets, and unifying our approach to developer productivity.
You’ll lead a talented team of AI and tooling engineers while acting as Jane’s internal advocate for AI in development. Over time, this team will evolve into a broader Developer Experience organization, owning all aspects of developer tooling, automation, and productivity.

The Impact You Could Have

  • Drive adoption and mindset change: Champion AI-powered development across Jane’s engineering teams. Help others see what’s possible and bring skeptics along by demonstrating real, tangible value.
  • Lead and grow the AI Tooling & Developer Experience team: Guide a small, high-impact group focused on improving developer workflows, tools, and environments.
  • Act as an internal evangelist: Be the visible voice for AI development practices—sharing learnings in Tech Radar, leading internal demos, and representing your team in cross-org conversations.
  • Unify our developer tooling vision: Partner with teams across Jane to establish consistent, modern best practices for how developers build, test, and ship code.
  • Measure and communicate impact: Evaluate the ROI of AI tools and integrations. Help Jane make informed decisions about where to invest next.
  • Lay the foundation for the future: Shape the long-term vision for a comprehensive Developer Experience function—expanding beyond AI to automation, environments, and developer enablement.

The Experience We Feel We Need

  • Leadership experience: 2+ years managing or leading technical teams (ideally in developer tooling, developer experience, or AI enablement). You know how to set vision, motivate teams, and deliver results.
  • Influence and communication: Comfortable speaking publicly, presenting at internal forums, and bringing people on board with your ideas. You don’t just manage—you persuade, educate, and inspire.
  • AI awareness: Deep curiosity about the AI tooling landscape (Cursor, Copilot, OpenAI APIs, etc.) and a practical understanding of how to apply these tools to real-world developer workflows.
  • Technical fluency: You don’t need to write production code, but you can speak credibly with engineers about architecture, trade-offs, and implementation details.
  • SaaS experience: Familiarity with cloud-based development, APIs, and scaling SaaS products is highly valuable.
  • Cultural alignment: Organized, curious, empathetic, and energized by helping others do their best work.
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 $158,400 to $247,500. 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 $188,100. 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.
