Who You Are:

We are always looking for amazing talent who can contribute to our growth and deliver results! Geotab is seeking a Lead Software Developer who will serve as an AI thought leader, driving technical innovation and leading impactful initiatives at massive data scale. If you love technology, and are keen to join an industry leader — we would love to hear from you!

What You'll Do:

As a Lead Software Developer at Geotab, your key area of responsibility will be leading and evolving our data intake engine — one of the highest-throughput data pipelines in the industry, processing billions of rows of vehicle telemetry data every day. You will serve as an AI thought leader on the team, identifying opportunities to apply AI technologies to developer workflows and data processing challenges, and championing their adoption across the organization. You will need to work closely with engineering management and peer leads, collaborating to steer impactful, cross-organizational initiatives.

To be successful in this role you will be a self-driven problem solver with exceptional communication skills — someone who proactively identifies issues, presents solutions, and keeps stakeholders informed without being prompted. In addition, the successful candidate will have the initiative to take calculated risks, manage ambiguity, and drive projects to completion independently, while maintaining transparency and collaboration with those around them.

How You'll Make An Impact:

* Lead the evolution of Geotab's data intake engine, ensuring reliability and performance at massive scale — processing billions of rows of vehicle telemetry data daily.

* Drive AI transformation across the engineering organization by introducing and championing AI-assisted development methodologies, tools, and best practices.

* Proactively identify high-impact engineering problems, develop actionable plans, and execute with a high degree of autonomy.

* Partner with engineering managers and peer leads to shape technical strategy and guide cross-team initiatives from conception through delivery.

* Influence and elevate a broad group of developers, steering impactful initiatives and raising engineering standards across the organization.

* Act as a technical bar raiser in hiring and code quality, helping define what excellent, AI-fluent software development looks like at Geotab.

What You'll Bring To This Role:

* 15+ years of software engineering experience, predominantly on the Individual Contributor (IC) track.

* Proficiency in C# and .NET; Java or Golang backgrounds that translate well to C# are considered assets.

* Experience working with PostgreSQL or similar relational databases at large scale.

* Demonstrated hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools and workflows (harness engineering, AIDL, or comparable methodologies).

* Proven ability to influence large engineering teams and steer high-impact technical initiatives across the organization.

* Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of keeping technical and non-technical stakeholders proactively informed.

If you got this far, we hope you're feeling excited about this role! Even if you don't feel you meet every single requirement, we still encourage you to apply.
