About The Role:

Reporting to the Engineering Manager of the Growth Team, this is a high-impact role. Our team is measured based on outcomes, not just outputs. The role is full-stack but most of the day-to-day work will be in the front-end.

Everyone on this team is:

    • Strongly focused on the customer.
    • Passionate about growth and metrics.
    • Excited about experimentation.
    • Interested in developing both breadth and depth in their technical expertise.
    • Unfazed by the challenge of working in a variety of Wave’s product lines and collaborating with other departments such as Marketing, and CX.
    • Not afraid to fail; and interested in iterating an idea to make it a success.

Here's how you will make an impact:

    • Helping to define the processes of our emerging growth team
    • Share your knowledge and mentor more junior members of the team
    • Apply your entrepreneurial mindset to rapid experimentation.
    • Own the entire outcome of an experiment, from ideation to the final results. 
    • Finding the perfect balance between high quality code and getting a project shipped
    • Wave is powered by several key technologies. Our primary toolkit includes React, React-Native and TypeScript, and occasionally Python and Django. We also regularly use Segment, FullStory, and Optimizely.

You'll thrive here if you:

    • Love working in a complex product ecosystem, identifying customer pain points and finding solutions.
    • Are interested in using marketing, psychology and business acumen in solving the problem at hand, rather than just on the code you’re writing.
    • Make a habit of using data to guide your decisions.
    • Have a bias for action and enjoy working on a high-energy, fast-paced team.
    • Enjoy working with other teams and parts of the organization to get the job done.

These are not required, but it would be a nice bonus if you had any experiences in one of the following:

    • Mobile development (native or react-native)
    • data analytics
    • marketing technology
    • working on other Growth-oriented teams
At Wave, you’re treated like the incredible human being you are. 

Work From Where You Work Best: We will always have a welcoming, energizing, and world-class office (in Toronto) with a space for you. Or, if you’re more comfortable working from home, the choice is yours.
We Care About Future You: You will stretch yourself and you will grow at Wave. You will also be supported on this journey with diverse learning experiences, educational allowances, mentorship, and so much more.
We Support the Full You: We make a serious investment in your health & wellness. When we think about benefits we think about body, mind, & soul and we take this stuff very seriously. 
We Take Care of the Fundamentals: Fair compensation, all the office perks you’d want, and the various goodies you’d expect from a growing tech company. This is the obvious stuff, but we don’t want you to think we forgot!

We believe that a diverse and inclusive culture creates the best workplace. We embrace our differences, value individuality, and the broad spectrum of every Waver's skills and abilities. We challenge each other from a place of respect and pursuit of continuous growth. We trust each other and encourage everyone to bring their authentic selves to work, everyday. As Wavers, our voices matter, our opinions are met with an open mind. The best ideas win, no matter whose they are.  Contributing to an inclusive culture is a part of all of our job descriptions.
