About Zero To One Strategic
Zero To One Strategic is a fast-growing consultancy that helps innovative Canadian companies unlock non-dilutive funding through SR&ED and other government programs. Our team includes former CRA auditors, software engineers, and grant strategists who are passionate about driving results for tech-focused founders and CFOs.
We are not your average SR&ED firm. We embed deeply with clients to craft audit-ready, technically rigorous claims, and we’re looking to expand our team with a sharp, experienced technical writer who speaks the language of software and science.
Role Overview
We are seeking a Technical SR&ED Writer with deep software knowledge, exceptional communication skills, and hands-on experience preparing successful SR&ED claims. You will lead the development of technical narratives that capture the complexity of R&D efforts in areas like machine learning, cloud infrastructure, embedded systems, and enterprise software development.
The ideal candidate holds at least a Bachelor’s in Computer Science or a closely related field, and has direct SR&ED writing experience. You must be ready to hit the ground running.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the Technical Narrative: Write detailed, CRA-compliant technical reports that clearly demonstrate technological uncertainty, systematic investigation, and advancement.
- Lead Developer Interviews: Conduct deep-dive interviews with CTOs, engineers, and technical teams to extract core R&D elements.
- Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner with project managers and financial staff to align technical stories with eligible expenditures.
- Synthesize Complex Info: Translate advanced software concepts into plain language while preserving technical depth.
- Project Manager: Balance multiple claim deadlines and client relationships in a fast-paced, remote-first environment.
- Stay Compliant: Keep current on CRA SR&ED guidelines and ensure deliverables reflect the latest standards and best practices.
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related technical discipline.
- 2+ years of experience preparing SR&ED claims, either in-house or with a consultancy.
- Excellent writing, editing, and research skills.
- Strong grasp of software development lifecycles, system architecture, algorithms, and technical experimentation.
- Ability to manage deadlines and navigate ambiguity with precision and professionalism.
Nice to Have
- Experience working in or with startups or high-growth tech companies.
- Familiarity with Agile development, cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure), AI/ML models, DevOps pipelines.
- Experience with legal, grant, or technical compliance writing.
- Project management background or formal certifications.
Why Join Zero To One Strategic
- Immediate impact and ownership of client-facing technical work.
- Remote-first flexibility with a collaborative, high-performance culture.
- Opportunity to work alongside a talented team of engineers, advisors, and innovators.
- Competitive compensation ($110k–$130k salary that includes bonuses and upside) and room to grow into a senior advisory or technical lead role.
