About the Role

Prospr is Sun Life's digital front door for Canadians, revolutionizing how Canadians access insurance and wealth solutions by building a platform that allows users to buy products online or virtually via licensed Advisors. This role involves leading a squad to deliver on product requirements, manage people development, and ensure execution quality at startup velocity.

Responsibilities

• Lead sprint execution and delivery commitments with full accountability
• Translate product requirements into clear, executable engineering work
• Directly manage developers—hiring, own their performance, growth, engagement, and career development
• Enforce engineering standards and code quality within your squad
• Stay technically credible—code when needed and lead technical discussions
• Build and maintain a healthy squad culture aligned with Accelerator principles
• Remove blockers and manage dependencies with other squads, enterprise teams, and vendors
• Own day-to-day delivery coordination with Product, Design, and other squads
• Balance technical debt with feature delivery—make the trade-offs
• Operate with startup velocity—fast iterations, continuous deployment, data-driven decisions

Requirements

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 2+ years in an Engineering Manager (or equivalent team leadership) role.
• Experience leading a single squad/team end-to-end (delivery, quality, reliability, and team health), with clear examples of outcomes.
• Hands-on expertise with Java, React (or other similar modern Javascript) and enterprise integrations.
• Demonstrated ability to run team-level execution rituals (planning, sprint/flow management, dependencies, release coordination) and improve delivery predictability.
• Experience hiring, onboarding, and developing engineers (coaching, feedback, performance conversations)
• Technical credibility to guide design and implementation: comfortable with architecture discussions, code/design reviews, and raising the engineering quality bar.
• Proven partnership with Product and Design to shape scope, manage trade-offs, and communicate progress/risks clearly.
