Prospr is Sun Life's digital front door for Canadians — startup velocity inside a Fortune 500.We're revolutionizing how Canadians access insurance and wealth solutions by building a platform that lets people buy products the way they want to: online in minutes or virtually via a team of trusted, licensed Advisors.
We're not playing it safe. We're building with AI and creating omnichannel experiences — at the speed customers now expect. You lead the squad. Your team's success is your success.
As Engineering Manager, you're accountable for a single squad's delivery, people development, and execution quality. You balance hands-on technical contribution with people leadership. You translate product requirements into executable work, own sprint commitments, and ensure your squad is healthy, productive, and shipping at startup velocity.
You're accountable for how work gets done—sprint execution, code quality, team health, and delivery commitments. You'll lead the squad, working closely with Product Directors to drive business outcomes.
What You'll Do ? 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 —you 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 —you make the trade-offs
Operate with startup velocity —fast iterations, continuous deployment, data-driven decisions
What Success Looks Like ? Your squad delivers predictably and at high velocity. Engineers are growing and engaged. Code quality is consistently high. The team collaborates well. Product and stakeholders trust your commitments. You're shipping features that drive business outcomes—lead conversion, advisor productivity, straight-through processing rates.
Who You Are ? Experienced engineer ready to lead people
or current Engineering Manager from a product-focused tech company
Startup mindset —you know how to ship fast and iterate based on data
Comfortable balancing hands-on technical work with management
Strong at sprint planning, estimation, and execution
in an Agile environment
Comfortable having tough conversations
about performance, growth, and accountability
Detail-oriented without losing sight of business outcomes
Able to context-switch
between code reviews, 1:1s, and stakeholder management
Protective of your team's time and focus
while maintaining high throughput
What You Bring 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.
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.
Why This Role? High-Impact Work: Build products that directly shape Sun Life's future, with your code reaching real users quickly
Leadership Opportunity: Lead technical direction, mentor others, and shape the engineering culture of a growing team
Autonomy and Ownership: Make decisions, drive solutions, and see the direct impact of your work
Learn and Grow Fast: Exposure to new technologies, business problems, and the full product lifecycle in a compressed timeframe
Collaborative, Innovative Culture: Work with passionate, talented people who move fast and support each other.
Flexible Workstyle: In office 2-3 days per week, hybrid the rest of the week
