- Write, optimize, and maintain clean, scalable code using Scala or other JVM-based languages to support mission-critical services.
- Investigate, troubleshoot, and resolve production issues by analyzing complex distributed systems and existing codebases.
- Collaborate with product managers and operations teams to translate business requirements into clear technical tasks and delivery plans.
- Own the full development lifecycle of features, including design, implementation, testing, deployment, and post-release monitoring.
- Contribute to system resilience, performance optimization, and scalability improvements across backend infrastructure.
- Participate in code reviews and promote engineering best practices across teams.
- 8+ years of software engineering experience, including strong exposure to backend systems and large-scale distributed architectures.
- Strong expertise in Scala or other JVM languages such as Java or Kotlin, with a focus on high-throughput backend systems.
- Proven experience working with microservices architectures and building production-grade backend services.
- Hands-on knowledge of distributed systems and service communication protocols such as REST, gRPC, and Pub/Sub.
- Ability to independently navigate complex systems, debug production issues, and execute technical solutions with minimal supervision.
- Strong collaboration and communication skills with experience working in cross-functional, remote-first teams.
- Strong interest in travel tech or large-scale transactional systems is a plus.
- Ability to operate effectively in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with a strong bias for action.
- Competitive compensation package aligned with senior backend engineering roles in Canada.
- Pre-IPO equity opportunities as part of a high-growth, well-funded organization.
