- Build and maintain internal developer tooling to improve engineering efficiency and product delivery workflows.
- Participate in on-call rotations, troubleshooting production issues, and ensuring operational stability across services.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to support scalable application development and deployment practices.
- Provide technical leadership through code reviews, mentoring, and guiding best practices across the engineering organization.
- Contribute to architectural decisions that balance scalability, simplicity, and long-term maintainability.
- 5+ years of software engineering or DevOps experience in production-scale environments.
- Strong experience with cloud infrastructure, particularly AWS, along with services such as RDS (PostgreSQL), Redis, and Heroku.
- Proficiency with infrastructure and development tools including Terraform, Ruby on Rails, GraphQL, and React.
- Hands-on experience with observability and monitoring tools such as Datadog, New Relic, Sentry, Papertrail, or Prometheus.
- Strong understanding of system reliability, performance engineering, and distributed systems concepts.
- Proven ability to lead technical initiatives or projects in a collaborative engineering environment.
- Strong problem-solving skills, ownership mindset, and ability to work independently and within cross-functional teams.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
- Familiarity with mobile development, compliance frameworks (SOC2, GDPR, ISO27001), or AI tooling is a plus.
- Competitive salary ranging from CAD $140,000 to $160,000 annually.
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance coverage.
- Remote-first work environment with flexible working arrangements.
- Paid vacation, personal days, and volunteer days.
