Staff Security Engineer

Embark on a pivotal journey with Jane as our new Staff Security Engineer within our vibrant Cybersecurity team. With your balanced expertise in both offensive and defensive security techniques you will not only fortify our digital defenses but also evolve our security culture. In this crucial role you will participate in leading technical initiatives enlighten our team with your comprehensive knowledge and help shape our path towards maturing application security practices and integrated DevSecOps. As a beacon of cybersecurity wisdom you will engage and mentor our team by demonstrating cutting-edge security practices and proactive threat management thereby deepening our organization's cybersecurity understanding. Your mission will be to elevate our security posture instill best practices across multiple security domains and ensure that our commitment to safeguarding data transcends standard protocol—it’s a core part of our vision to be both trusted and resourceful to our customers. If you are driven by a challenge and thrive in roles that require a dynamic security skill set we would love to hear from you!

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.

Compensation Expectations for the Role

Jane’s committed to paying our team members fairly clearly and above all paying for growth. This role has a minimum annual salary of $146400 and a maximum annual salary of $228600. As you may have noticed this salary range is quite large and this is intentional to account for the growth someone will experience in the role throughout their time at Jane (i.e. from building the skills to accomplished to highly proficient all the way to achieving excellence in the role). When hiring talented folks to join the Jane team we’ve found that new team members are best set up for success when hired with the expectation of being fully accomplished in the role which for this role would reflect a salary between $173800 to $182900. It's also possible to join Jane at a salary above or below this which would mean a salary below $173800 which typically reflects someone who has all the potential to be fully accomplished in the role but doesn't yet possess all the skills required while a salary above $182900 is typically for individuals who are currently in this role at Jane and had the opportunity to make a significant positive impact on our customers product and company with deep Jane knowledge. At Jane we pay for growth which means that you’ll continue to have conversations about your career development with your manager and see your compensation grow over time as you build an amazing career with us.
