About the Role
As a Staff Backend Engineer , you'll play a key role in designing, implementing, and supporting the backend services that power our client-facing applications. You will operate in a cross-functional team, using a Kanban-based process, and be regularly involved in providing engineering input on how to solve key challenges the business needs to solve.
Key responsibilities include:
- Design and develop backend services using primarily Node.js, with some Python integrations for data processing
- Architect event-driven solutions and implement code with a high-level of observability (using DataDog)
- Implement CI/CD pipelines that maximize daily deployments, while minimizing risk (e.g. Blue-Green deployments)
- Support infrastructure development using Kubernetes, Helm Charts, and Terraform on GCP
- Optimize and design MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis for high performance and availability
- Collaborate effectively in a Kanban-based process with our hybrid remote team
- Effectively communicate engineering challenges and solutions with stakeholders
What You'll Need:
- Strong expertise in Node.js, MySQL, and event-driven architectures
- Experience with containerization, Kubernetes, and Terraform on GCP
- Experience with MongoDB and Redis in production environments
- Solid understanding of CI/CD patterns and observability practices
- Strong problem-solving skills and excellent written/verbal communication abilities
- (Bonus) Experience with front-end technologies, particularly React
Why You'll Love Working Here:
- Competitive salary of $150K-$190K + benefits.
- Fully remote role for candidates based in Canada, with periodic expectations to join team collaboration sessions at one of our major offices (Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, or Calgary).
- Open and transparent management structure – collaboration is how we make decisions happen.
- Career growth within this role, including leadership and product innovation opportunities.
- Continuous learning opportunities to promote personal and professional growth.
- Generous vacation time, encouraging you to take the time you need - we trust you to strike the right work/life balance.
- Access to our community events and conferences.
