Important: Ontario-Only Eligibility

• Candidates must have the legal right to work in Canada without requiring visa sponsorship

Who You Are

You are a lifelong learner. You don’t just want to “ship code”; you want to understand the why behind the patterns used and are excited to participate in architectural discussions. You realize that teaching a teammate a new pattern is just as valuable as shipping a feature. You enjoy helping others grow as much as you enjoy growing yourself. You have a strong internal drive to do things the “right way” (TDD, clean patterns), but you’re humble enough to pivot when the team finds a better path.

What You’ll Do

• Design, develop, and maintain full-stack web and mobile applications, covering both client and server functionality
• Collaborate daily through mob programming, sharing the driver’s seat to solve complex problems collectively and ensure high code quality through real-time peer review
• Lead and participate in weekly Growth Sessions, where you’ll deep-dive into new technologies, refactor legacy patterns, and share knowledge with the wider team
• Engage in architectural discussions and client meetings, helping to share the technical direction of projects rather than just following a spec
• Build and evolve full-stack applications with a focus on clean architecture, scalable APIs, and seamless user interactions
• Level up on the latest AI powered development tools
• Write clean, maintainable code using test-driven development (TDD)

Your Experience & Skills

• Experience in the following:
  • Front-end: JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Vue, CSS Frameworks
  • Back-end (one or more of): PHP, Laravel, Node.js, .NET, Ruby on Rails 
  • Databases (one or more of): Redis, SQL, NoSQL
• Strong communication skills and ability to work collaboratively
• Resourceful, proactive, and quality-focused in your development process

Nice-to-Haves

• A curiosity for how AI can improve the developer experience and a willingness to experiment with new AI-augmented workflows
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or other container technologies
• Understanding of performance and scalability in distributed systems
• Active participation in developer communities or open-source projects
• Ability to lead client meetings and represent the development team

What We Offer

• Annual base salary of $70,000 - $120,000 CAD depending on experience
• Every week, we invest time in dedicated Growth Sessions to sharpen our skills, explore new tech, and level up as a team
• Invest time in learning new AI development tools 
• Explore and learn the latest AI Driven Development practices
• Work primarily through mob programming and TDD, ensuring you’re never stuck in a silo while constantly learning from and teaching your peers in real-time
• Supportive team that values quality, empathy and learning
• Remote-first with the option to work from our Waterloo office 
• Catered lunches on Fridays (in-office)
• Comprehensive health and dental coverage
• Flexible vacation
• Employee appreciation program (including curated gift boxes and personalized surprises to celebrate your wins)
• Opportunity to attend a yearly team conference trip (subject to availability)
