As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you’ll work across our application stack to help us meet business goals while investigating, assessing, and fixing product issues along the way. As a Senior Engineer, you’ll also play a key role in mentoring others and supporting the growth of your teammates. In this role, you will work closely with our Engineering, Product Management, and Product Design teams to help translate business requirements and specifications into delivered platform features that create real value for our users.

Your goal will be to lead medium-to-large feature projects from conception to completion in our agile environment. Here’s how you’ll accomplish this:

• Author code that is reliable, well-rounded, and sets a high standard for the team
• Effectively diagnose and troubleshoot problems within the Thinkific platform
• Participate in architectural design, review, and implementation of scalable, production-quality features
• Contribute to scalable, well-aligned architecture while identifying patterns that reduce technical debt, improve efficiency, and support long-term code quality
• Participate in effort and complexity estimation for new product features and tasks
• Share knowledge with others through mentorship, clear documentation, code reviews, pair programming, and training sessions
• Work with your team to research and advocate for new technologies that can elevate our product and processes

The person we have in mind likely:

• Has 5+ years of experience working in a full-stack development role, and at least 1+ years of experience working in a SaaS environment
• Has hands-on professional experience working with Ruby on Rails
• Is knowledgeable and experienced with modern web frameworks and libraries, particularly Next.js and React
• Has advanced knowledge of server-side languages and frameworks (Ruby, Node, etc.)
• Demonstrates a practical understanding of Web APIs, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
• Showcases the ability to design and implement GraphQL APIs
• Has experience with relational databases, SQL, and engines like PostgreSQL
• Adaptable and a proven problem solver
• Has experience in instrumenting and monitoring applications with tools like New Relic or DataDog etc.
• Loves to learn and grow. They’ve found (and keep looking for) ways to level up their skills in this field, whether that’s through formal education, gaining professional experience, or maybe even building their own business

These things would also be nice, but we think you could learn them on the job:

• Experience building real-time AI web applications
• Knowledge and experience with cloud-based server infrastructures, particularly Cloudflare

The recruitment compensation range for this position is $115,000 – $155,000 CAD. Your specific compensation within this range is determined based on your job-related skills, knowledge, experience, and our internal equity assessment.
