Toronto, Canada Thrillworks, Inc. Full time

For 22 years, Thrillworks has built lasting relationships with some of the world’s most respected organizations—discovering and realizing the full potential of human-centric, technology-driven products, from web and mobile apps to microservices and websites.

Our approach emphasizes cross-disciplinary collaboration and obsessive, value-based prioritization, designed to expose and exploit only the most valuable digital opportunities.

We turn ideas into experiences and experiences into marketable products that provide customer value and business impact.

Reporting directly to the CTO, the VP of Technology will set the overall tone for quality and direction across the entire engineering organization at Thrillworks. You will lead all development efforts with an eye to future strategic technical innovation while setting the long-term vision for Thrillworks technologists and cultivating relationships at a senior level with significant clients.

**What you will do in this role**:

- Direct oversight of technical directors
- Long-term forecasting of trends and changes in technology ensures the team is trained and equipped to grow.
- Establish team best practices in career growth, goal setting, and performance management
- Work in partnership with business functions to build strategy and roadmap that will support rapid growth
- Participate in and facilitate the strategic and operation process improvement of the organization
- Identify potential bottlenecks and prepare the company for growth
- Act as a senior-level technical counterpart with client technology and corporate leadership groups
- Seek opportunities for Thrillworks Engineering to engage with the larger technical community (local and abroad) in user groups, thought leadership, etc.
- Ensure mid-term engineering forecasting and allocation needs are clear and staffed appropriately
- Empower the engineering organization to deliver best-in-class experiences for our business partners and customers
- Advocate and represent Thrillworks Engineering, as well as other disciplines within Thrillworks, both internally and externally

**What we are looking for**:

- 10+ years of experience in a relevant area and at least 5 years of hands-on software engineering experience.
- Experience with writing software and leading engineering teams.
- Passion for digital marketing in a fast-paced environment.
- Love for solving complex technical problems at scale.
- Ability to coordinate and communicate across stakeholders that span several functional areas, including designers, product owners, frontend/backend/fullstack developers, DevOps, test engineers, and customer business stakeholders.
- Proven track record in hiring and building solid and effective teams with members of all experience/seniority levels
- Working experience in both agency and corporate/enterprise environments.
- Pragmatic and result-oriented approach to building solutions that scale and solve business needs—ability to make trade-offs to focus on things that matter most to our customers.
- Intelligent and proactive communicator, able to empathize with peers and direct reports alike.
- Has an agile mindset focusing on fast iteration and fail-fast attitude (living in practice the think it, build it, ship it, tweak it mantra).
- Action bias and pride for outstanding results.

**Why join?**

At Thrillworks, we are partners in digital acceleration. In essence, we work together to accelerate the journey toward a competitive advantage for our clients and ourselves by solving the right problems.

Regardless of the department you belong to at Thrillworks, you will have a hand in the vision and realization of innovative ideas and high-quality outputs.

**Clarity and autonomy**. We want all of our employees to feel involved. That means ensuring everyone knows what we are working on and why; creating space for idea-sharing and creativity, and allowing people to make decisions without the constant need for approval. We are in hyper-growth mode and we hope you are as excited as we are about making an impact through technology with purpose.

**Challenges and growth**. At Thrillworks, we know our people are our biggest asset, and we do everything we can to make them feel recognized, heard and appreciated. Under the guidance of a supportive and patient manager, you will have the chance to build out your insights, gain exposure internally and externally, and grow your expertise.

With everything we do, these are our guiding values:
**Unity**: We are heading in the same direction, acting and working as ONE.

**Curiosity**: We are open-minded and hungry to improve.

**Courage**: We aren’t afraid to take chances or to admit (and learn from) mistakes.

**Passion**: We care about challenges, the outcomes, and our contributions to meeting them.
