Job title: Director of Digital Technology, Ontario – Remote

Company: Cimpress/Vista

Job description: Who We Are:

Vistaprint is the industry leader in personalized physical and digital products. We empower over 17 million global customers to make an impression – and we’re fueled by forward-thinking and innovative technology. We encourage our engineers to think like owners – to continue to act small as we grow. Every team builds their own roadmaps, and chooses the programming languages and technologies that suit them best. This helps us have a big impact at the enterprise level, while still feeling small and nimble.

Just last year, Vistaprint generated $1.508B in revenue through customized print products, signage, apparel, websites and more.

Powering the Vistaprint transformation, the Technology organization has been working on a full global re-platforming, building a new modern technology stack which unlocks the ability to deliver new, more personalized products and capabilities for customers. Launched already in our smaller European markets and Australia, we’ve taken those learnings, continuously improved, and are now at the cusp of launching the new platform across our largest markets this year. There has never been a better time to join Vistaprint!

In addition to the new platform, we’re also passionate about creating empowered technology teams who — in close partnership with product management and product design colleagues — create cutting-edge, best-in-class software and experiences. We encourage our engineers to think like customers and act like owners. Every team defines their own roadmaps and uses the programming languages and technologies that suit them best. This helps us have a big impact at the enterprise level while still feeling small and nimble. It’s the best of both worlds, the ability to drive real impact quickly helping small business grow and succeed, back by the experience and investment of a stable, profitable decades-old company.
