Jun 13, 2023 - jane.app is hiring a remote Development Manager - Artificial Intelligence. 📍Location: Canada.
The JaneX team is excited to be building Jane’s first-ever AI-focused team to make Jane smarter, improving our Clinical Charting, Billing, and/or other key parts of Jane to help Practitioners and Clinic owners do their jobs faster and more effectively. The members of this team are entrepreneurs who love to invent and forge new paths. We’ll be breaking new ground, using new technologies, and unlocking new capabilities that will give Jane a competitive edge. We need this team to operate like a startup, driving towards an ambitious goal of getting to general availability (GA) within a year.
Due to the nature of this team, you will have very few big Dev Org constraints on how you work, but you will have the challenges of delivering at a seed round startup pace. It’s going to be incredibly fun, with lots of learning, and a bit of a sink-or-swim feeling. You’ll get to leverage new technologies and innovations to deliver value in a new way at a fast pace. If you’re in a stage of life where you’re overtime is not realistic for you, you may not find this team the right fit. If you’re eager to push yourself and try and achieve something truly incredible in a year, this may be the one for you.
As a member of this team, you will drive innovative solutions from zero code to production. You would be delivering this brand new functionality, leveraging technologies like OpenAI to solve new business problems and give Jane a competitive edge to Help More Helpers.
Like with all positions at Jane, this position is a remote position, allowing you to work anywhere you want across Canada. Building a delighted team who can delight our customers is part of Jane’s DNA. In our most recent company-wide health check, 99% of our team agreed that our founders demonstrate people are important to Jane’s success. On top of that, 98% of our team felt Manager cares about them as human beings and that they are supported when needing to arrange time off from work. We’d never claim to be perfect, but we’re working hard to listen to our people and improve each day.
We really want the people who work at Jane to love being here, so it's important that we start with a bit about what makes our company unique and try to be as transparent as possible. Our
values also provide some insights into Jane and hopefully, you’ll have a better idea if this might be the kind of company you want to be part of.
Before we were Jane, our Co-Founders were solving problems for their own clinics not realizing that a few years later, this team would grow to support tens of thousands of healthcare practices in more than 60 countries. Our platform is now helping to modernize the world of practice management software. We enable the likes of physiotherapists, mental health counsellors, chiropractors, and other allied health practitioners to run their practices in a digital-first way through features such as online booking, charting, scheduling, telehealth, and billing along with an evolving library of features. You can see more of them
here. Although we’ve grown, still to this day, we’re rooted in solving clinics’ problems and making sure we don’t lose sight of Jane’s vision.
We have remained profitable for the past seven years, we’re product-led and growing organically (and responsibly) to the point where 85% of our customer growth is either from customer referrals or word of mouth. Growth like this is unique, especially in the world of SaaS, and it doesn’t happen by chance. We have a brilliant team of over 400 Janers who are doing an amazing job of listening to our customers, building what they need, and providing industry-leading support.
We pride ourselves on flexibility & autonomy, some of our team block out their calendars to pick up their children from school (and this is normal at Jane), and we even have a #kids channel in Slack. We’re not a clock-in clock-out system-type environment. With that being said, we’re not going to paint the picture of a perfect environment either. We’re a company that’s scaling quickly, we have many moving parts, many of us are doing this for the first time and sometimes, we don’t have processes in place or clear views which can require a lot of resourcefulness and a passion for problem-solving.
With all that to say, if you’re looking for an environment where you can grow, stretch yourself, and work with some incredibly talented people on problems that are positively impacting people's lives, Jane could be the place for you.
So what’s happening in 2023? We’re iterating on our existing product to make our customers more successful and we’re working on some complex technical challenges with the goal of operating with a world-class cadence for building and deploying products. From decoupling complex parts of Jane, increasing the predictability of our roadmap, and creating a greater flow for maximum effectiveness of teams. To provide some context into our growth, in 2022, we processed over 93 million patient appointments, and our scheduling application alone receives on average, 740 million API calls per week. This is up from 250 million per week in 2021!
Of course, it's not all about the numbers, but this puts into perspective the scale of Jane, from the thousands of practitioners whose lives are made easier each day to the millions of patients receiving treatment. If you’re the type of person excited by this growth, we’d love to speak with you.
What you'll be doing:
- Demonstrating your passion for 0 to 1 endeavors, embodying an entrepreneurial spirit. You thrive on the opportunity to build products from the ground up.

- Bringing expertise in cloud architecture (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure), containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes), and some experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform or Helm).
- Applying architectural patterns and design patterns effectively within and across services, with a focus on clean architecture and coding practices.
- Demonstrating the ability to clearly communicate technical details, both verbally and in written form.
What we’re looking for from you:
- You have been a CTO, founder CEO, or Dev Manager working on a very scrappy 0-to-1 product development, taking an idea through to release.
- You are a hands-on leader, still jumping in and coding, but also have a lot of experience guiding and inspiring a team to release new products.
- Proven track record writing greenfield code with new technologies and getting it across the line to general release and adoption. You have done this both as an IC and as a leader.
- Experience scaling systems both vertically and horizontally using a metrics-based approach to decision-making
- Proven track record leading teams in AI, ML, or Language based technologies. You’ve delivered at least one or more projects in this space to production.
- Proven track record in leading teams working on highly performant services.
- Lead teams using that owned their own cloud architecture (e.g. AWS, GCP, Azure), containerization (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes) and some infrastructure as code (e.g. Terraform or Helm) experience.
- Deep knowledge of architectural patterns and design patterns in and across services.
- Effective spoken and written communicator, able to convey complex technical topics to executive leaders and to help your technical teams understand customer requirements and impact.

- Next, there will be a 1-hour interview with the hiring manager, delving deeper into your experience and motivations, with questions across People, Process and Technology.
- Following that, there will be three one hour interviews delving deeper into the People, Process and Technical pillars, as well as project, customer, and values.

We want to build a team of people who make conversations rich with perspective and experience. We are committed to listening to every voice in order to learn and grow because doing this will allow us to meet the needs of the diverse community of helpers that Jane serves.
We do not tolerate discrimination, prejudice, or oppressive isms of any kind. Employment is decided on the basis of qualifications, merit, experience, and the needs of the Jane community. We encourage anyone who requires accommodation or adjustments throughout the interview process to let us know, and we will do our best to support you.
