Join to apply for the Software Development Team Lead - Operations Systems role at GHGSat

Overview

Operations Systems - Software Development Team Lead (Montreal / Ottawa)

Help us build the data pipelines that bring satellite emissions data to life.

GHGSat uses satellites and advanced sensors to detect greenhouse gas emissions with unprecedented precision. But all that data needs to be processed—and that's where the Operations Systems (OpSys) team comes in. From processing pipelines to databases and APIs, this team ensures our data is processed, catalogued, and made available to all our stakeholders.

We're looking for a hands-on lead to support a group of developers across the stack, collaborate with multiple teams, and help set the tone in building robust and scalable solutions.

If you've led teams before—or are ready for that next step—and care about both the how and the who of building software, we'd love to talk. We especially encourage applicants who have been historically underrepresented in tech leadership roles; diverse leadership is essential for building great software.

What you'll do

• Support a team of developers working on our data processing pipelines, databases, and internal APIs
• Create space for autonomy, ownership, and learning—through mentorship, pairing, or setting healthy team rituals
• Stay close to the work : help with design decisions and enable the right technical solutions
• Collaborate with product, science, and platform teams to ensure what we're building is grounded, clear, and well-scoped
• Champion engineering practices that balance speed and stability — testing, documentation, observability, etc.
• Help shape a long-term vision for how we build and deliver software in this part of the stack
• Support your team's growth—help people take on more, reach their next level, and feel good about where they're headed
