  • Performance, quality, uptime, and speed to deliver quality code are some of the key pillars with which we look at our work
  • We sometimes work across teams and across business silos within Jobber, and we look for solutions that will drive success across the whole organization, not just within our teams
  • Facilitate, collaborate, maintain and ship the Roadmap for assigned focused areas, while connecting product, internal roadmaps and technical strategy for Jobber
  • Ownership over the creative process of generating, developing, and curating new ideas
  • Discovering and understanding the connections between people’s day-to-day work, the overall product vision, technical strategy and scaling, and customers’ (internal and/or external) needs, you can prioritize building what matters to achieve product goals and initiatives

  • Own cascading engineering metrics and goals for each team and their area of responsibility

Our take

For businesses that sell home services, it can be difficult keeping up with paperwork, scheduling appointments, and chasing payments, especially when their teams are small. Jobber delivers a comprehensive toolbox to keep track of all these aspects, so that small business owners can concentrate on more important things like serving their customers and building their brand.

Jobber was founded in 2011, initially to help a friend who owned a small painting business. The founders quickly discovered that what they were building could help many more owners across a number of industries, going on to launch the product which is now used by over 200,000 professionals.

What makes Jobber stand out is that it collects all the vital parts of running a home services business into one place, removing the burden of keeping track of multiple sources of information. The company has seen significant funding which it has invested in R&D and growing its customer base, and boasts four consecutive years on The Globe and Mail's Canada's Top Growing Companies List.
