About 021 Strategic

021 Strategic is a fast-growing consultancy that helps innovative Canadian companies unlock non-dilutive funding through SR&ED and other government programs. Our team includes former CRA auditors, software engineers, and grant strategists who are passionate about driving results for tech-focused founders and CFOs.

We are not your average SR&ED firm. We embed deeply with clients to craft audit-ready, technically rigorous claims, and we're looking to expand our team with a sharp, experienced technical writer who speaks the language of software and science.

Role Overview

We are seeking a Technical SR&ED Writer with deep software knowledge, exceptional communication skills, and hands-on experience preparing successful SR&ED claims. You will lead the development of technical narratives that capture the complexity of R&D efforts in areas like machine learning, cloud infrastructure, embedded systems, and enterprise software development.

The ideal candidate holds at least a Bachelor's in Computer Science or a closely related field, preferably a Master's or PhD, and has direct SR&ED writing experience. You must be ready to hit the ground running.

Key Responsibilities
  • Own the Technical Narrative: Write detailed, CRA-compliant technical reports that clearly demonstrate technological uncertainty, systematic investigation, and advancement.
  • Lead Developer Interviews: Conduct deep-dive interviews with CTOs, engineers, and technical teams to extract core R&D elements.
  • Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner with project managers and financial staff to align technical stories with eligible expenditures.
  • Synthesize Complex Info: Translate advanced software concepts into plain language while preserving technical depth.
  • Project Manager: Balance multiple claim deadlines and client relationships in a fast-paced, remote-first environment.
  • Stay Compliant: Keep current on CRA SR&ED guidelines and ensure deliverables reflect the latest standards and best practices.
Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related technical discipline (Master's/PhD preferred).
  • 2+ years of experience preparing SR&ED claims, either in-house or with a consultancy.
  • Excellent writing, editing, and research skills.
  • Strong grasp of software development lifecycles, system architecture, algorithms, and technical experimentation.
  • Ability to manage deadlines and navigate ambiguity with precision and professionalism.
Nice to Have
  • Experience working in or with startups or high-growth tech companies.
  • Familiarity with Agile development, cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure), AI/ML models, DevOps pipelines.
  • Experience with legal, grant, or technical compliance writing.
  • Project management background or formal certifications.
Why Join 021 Strategic
  • Immediate impact and ownership of client-facing technical work.
  • Remote-first flexibility with a collaborative, high-performance culture.
  • Opportunity to work alongside a talented team of engineers, advisors, and innovators.
  • Competitive compensation and room to grow into a senior advisory or technical lead role.
