Calgary AB, Calgary Census Division, AB; Alberta, Canada AssetWorks Inc Full-time
AssetWorks builds the fleet and asset management software that cities, counties, and state and federal agencies use to keep their vehicles and equipment running. NET stack – and you’ll do it AI-first. Today more than 80% of our code is generated by AI through spec-driven development with Claude and GitHub Copilot. Your job is to take that further: lead the team toward an agent-driven workflow where specs become working, tested features, and prove the results. Lead, coach and grow a team of 5–8 engineers – owning hiring, goal-setting, performance reviews, career development and the hard conversations. Own delivery of the product roadmap: plan capacity, manage risk, and make clear trade-offs between scope, quality and team health. Take on the tough problems: own the process improvements that lead to higher-quality, more predictable releases. Drive the move from spec-driven development to an agent-driven workflow, and measure its impact on throughput and quality. Set the standard for responsible, secure AI use as the tools evolve. Stay technical: review designs and pull requests, and spend roughly 10–30% of your time coding on prototypes, spikes and unblocking the team. Work with Documentation, Customer Care, Architecture and DevOps to ship quality releases and resolve customer issues fast. A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience, plus: ~7+ years in software engineering, including 2+ years managing or leading engineers ~ A track record of developing people through coaching, feedback and career planning ~ Experience owning delivery commitments, capacity planning and risk management ~ Hands‑on experience with AI‑assisted development tools such as Claude and GitHub Copilot, and a point of view on where they should go next ~ Proficiency in a modern web stack – Angular (preferred) or React with TypeScript, and C# / .
NET; experience with Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server ~ Experience leading Agile teams (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, etc.) Fully remote work from the United States or Canada, with occasional travel for team meetups and customer visits. A real mandate to lead on AI – not a pilot, a team already shipping with it. Stability and long‑term thinking: AssetWorks is part of Volaris Group, a Constellation Software company, which buys and holds software businesses for the long run. A clear path to Senior Development Manager. #
