We’re looking for an experienced software engineering expert to help us design and deliver scalable, cloud-native solutions as part of a small, high-performing team. You can join us remotely from anywhere in Canada or work onsite in our Ottawa office - your choice.

 

As a Staff/Principal/Lead Engineer, you won’t just write code - you’ll help shape product strategy, set technical direction, and mentor others. If you’re passionate about modern architecture, love solving hard problems, and want to have a real impact on product and culture, we want to talk.

 

·     Drive design and architecture of scalable, resilient systems across our product suite.

·     Collaborate closely with Product Managers and UX Designers to define and deliver elegant solutions to customer problems.

·     Lead proof-of-concept development and evaluate new technologies or architectural approaches.

·     Mentor and pair with other engineers to level up the team’s capabilities.

·     Oversee large refactoring efforts and guide the resolution of complex, system-level technical issues.

·     Participate in code reviews and support production systems as needed.

 

·     Deep experience building and maintaining modern, cloud-native applications - ideally with AWS and JavaScript (Node.js, React, etc.).

·     Hands-on expertise with services like Lambda, S3, API Gateway, SQS, and similar.

·     Proven ability to lead engineering projects and influence architecture and technical direction.

·     Comfort working across the stack, from front-end components to infrastructure automation to database modeling.

·     A strong sense of ownership - you drive initiatives from inception to production.

·     Experience in fast-paced, product-focused environments, with a bias toward delivering value quickly.

·     Bonus: Experience with ElasticSearch, CI/CD pipelines, security best practices, and DevOps fundamentals.

 

·     Language: JavaScript (Node.js, React)

·     Cloud: AWS (Serverless-first mindset)

·     Databases: MySQL, ElasticSearch

·     Tooling: GitHub (incl Actions), AWS SAM & CDK, CloudWatch

 

·     Autonomy & Impact: Small team, big responsibilities. You’ll influence everything from architecture to user experience.

·     Modern Tech: We move fast, embrace serverless, and experiment with new technologies.

·     Customer Focused: We care deeply about solving real-world problems for our users.

·     Continuous Learning: We invest in growing our people, not just our product.

·     Flexible Work: Work remotely from anywhere in Canada, or join us in Ottawa.

 

·     Deliver Fast, Deliver Well: Ship frequently, learn constantly.

·     Own It: From concept to production - you’re accountable.

·     Move With Curiosity: Try things, test assumptions, and evolve.

·     Customer First: We succeed when our customers succeed
