About the role
This role is for a high-impact engineering leader who has been in the trenches at fast-scaling startups — someone who has grown from individual contributor to leader and helped scale engineering orgs through multiple phases of growth. Ideally, you've done it more than once.
What they're looking for
- You’ve helped scale at least one startup through a period of fast growth (Series A → C or similar), and ideally done it more than once
- You’ve grown from IC to leadership, and know what it takes to help others do the same
- You’re low ego, high respect. People seek out your input not because of your title, but because you are good at what you do, genuinely helpful and motivating to work with
- You’re a builder at heart — pragmatic, resourceful, and relentlessly focused on outcomes
- Lead Software Engineering within CoLab’s Product Development org
- Guide and grow our teams to improve quality, development speed and confidence
More about this role
At CoLab, we help mechanical engineering teams bring life-changing products to market years sooner.
We build AI for engineers designing cars, medical devices, and jet engines. Products this complex aren't sketched and sent to production. Teams spend months on iterations, reviews, and tests, predicting how every part performs before anything is built. CoLab is where those reviews happen, and we capture the rationale behind every change. Other tools show what changed between versions. Only CoLab knows why. That's how our AI helps manufacturers like Bobcat, Triumph Motorcycles, and GE Appliances make better decisions, eliminate rework cycles, and get to market faster.
Proudly based in St. John’s, Newfoundland, CoLab started with one customer in 2018. Since then we’ve raised a $72M Series C , been named the 57th fastest growing company in North America by Deloitte ( Fast 500™ ), signed multi-year AI partnerships with companies like Bombardier , and grown to a team of 250+.
