Company Description

Assent is the leading solution for supply chain sustainability tailored for the world’s top-tier, sustainability-driven manufacturers. Hidden risks riddle supply chains, many of which weren't built with sustainability in mind. That's where we step in. With insights from experts, Assent is the tool manufacturers trust for comprehensive sustainability.

We are proud to announce that Assent has crossed the US$100M ARR milestone, granting us Centaur Status. This accomplishment, reached just 8 years following our Series A, makes us the first and only Certified B Corporation in North America's SaaS sustainability industry to celebrate this milestone.

Our journey from $5 million to US$100M ARR in just eight years has been marked by significant growth and achievements. With our $350 million US funding led by Vista Equity Partners, we're poised for even greater expansion and are on the lookout for outstanding team members to join our mission.

Hybrid Work Model

At Assent, we proudly embrace a remote-first work model, valuing the flexibility and autonomy it provides our team. We also acknowledge the intangible benefits of occasional in-person workdays. For team members situated within 50 kms/31 miles of our five global offices in Ottawa, Eldoret, Penang, Columbus, Pune and Amsterdam, you can expect to come into the office 1-3 days a week. Similarly, those near our co-working spaces in Nairobi and Toronto are encouraged to work onsite once a month.

Job Description

leadership skills. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys solving complex problems, mentoring teams, and
staying close to technology while driving impactful projects.

QA team. That means you’ll be responsible for setting expectations and ensuring quality practices are
embedded in the development process. You’ll drive the creation of automated test coverage strategies, web
app development and documentation.

We work with the latest technology and plan to keep doing so. Our team uses tools like GitHub Copilot to help
with AI-powered coding, Lucid for architectural design, and we’re always open to trying new tools that can help
us create better experiences for our customers.

▸ ASP.NET
▸ C#
▸ Angular
▸ SQL
▸ TypeScript,
▸ CI/CD tooling.
▸ AWS
▸ REST APIs

We value system thinking, performance, and platform maintainability.

Key responsibilities include:
▸ Technical Leadership: Own architecture decisions, ensure best practices, and guide the team in building
high-quality applications.
▸ Hands-On Contribution: Participate in code reviews, troubleshoot critical issues, and occasionally
contribute to coding for complex modules.
▸ Team Management: Lead and mentor a team of engineers, fostering a culture of innovation and
accountability.
▸ Project Delivery: Drive end-to-end delivery of projects, ensuring timelines, scalability, and performance.
▸ Stakeholder Collaboration: Work closely with product managers and business teams to align technical
solutions with business goals.
▸ Continuous Improvement: Stay updated with emerging technologies and introduce relevant tools and
practices to the team.
By leading the development of this cloud-native, event-driven architecture, you'll enable rapid iteration,
scalability, and future extensibility of the RM Foundational Pilot platform.

Qualifications

▸ Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical
experience).
▸ 10+ years of experience in software development and technical leadership.
▸ Proven ability to balance hands-on coding with team management.
▸ Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
▸ Passion for technology and continuous learning.
▸ Experience in agile environments and modern development practices.
▸ Frontend: Strong experience with Angular (latest versions).
▸ Backend: Proficiency in Python OR C# for building APIs and services.
▸ Database: Expertise in SQL and relational database design.
▸ Solid understanding of software architecture, design patterns, and
▸ microservices.
▸ Experience with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP) and CI/CD pipelines.
▸ Strong debugging, performance tuning, and optimization skills.

Preferred Qualifications

▸ Strong understanding of event-driven and asynchronous workflows in cloud environments.
▸ Familiarity with data platform integration, including medallion architectures (Bronze, Silver, Gold) and
