WHO YOU ARE
  • 6+ years of full-stack development experience, with a strong focus on building scalable web applications. While our primary focus is on the back-end, we own our features end-to-end and regularly deliver front-end experiences

  • Experienced technical leader with a track record of driving architectural decisions and contributing to technical strategy
  • Strong understanding of design, data structures, and algorithms
  • A self-starter with great communication and organizational skills who has worked in an agile team environment before
  • Willingness to learn the technologies required to deliver what customers need

Bonus points:
  • Professional experience building software at scale, handling high volumes of data and traffic
  • Professional experience with Ruby on Rails, Python, React, Snowflake, microservice architecture, and distributed systems
  • Familiarity with modern data warehousing, BI, and analytics
  • Experience with agile processes
  • A passion for incrementally delivering high-quality software which delights customers

For candidates based in Canada, the pay range for this position at the start of employment is expected to be between CA$186,838 and CA$334,740/year, with an expected On Target Earnings (OTE) between CA$205,600 and CA$366,000/year (including bonus or commission). Your exact offer may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
