*** Remote – Please note : Candidates must be based in V ancouver, Calgary, or Toronto , which are designated hub cities for the hiring company.
About the Role
As a Senior Backend Developer, you’ll be part of a collaborative, cross-functional team, helping design and build backend systems that power customer-facing applications. You’ll work in a Kanban environment with a strong focus on clean architecture, observability, and high-performance systems.
Responsibilities
- Build backend services primarily in Node.js, with some Python for data processing tasks
- Design and implement event-driven architectures with a focus on observability (Data Dog)
- Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines that support daily deploys with minimal risk (Blue-Green deployments, etc.)
- Contribute to infrastructure work using Kubernetes, Helm, and Terraform on GCP
- Optimize MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis databases for performance and reliability
- Collaborate closely with remote and in-office teammates
- Clearly communicate technical issues and solutions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Qualifications
- Strong hands-on experience with Node.js, MySQL, and event-driven backend design
- Experience deploying to cloud environments, especially GCP, using Kubernetes and Terraform
- Comfortable working with MongoDB and Redis in production
- Solid grasp of modern CI/CD practices and observability tools
- Clear, concise communicator with great problem-solving skills
- (Bonus) Some exposure to front-end work—especially React—is a nice plus
Why This Role Stands Out
- Flexible, hybrid work setup
- Open, collaborative team culture with minimal red tape
- Opportunity to grow into leadership or product-focused roles
- Strong focus on continuous learning and development
- Encouraged to take real time off—vacation policies that support work-life balance
- The work has real-world impact—supporting innovation and helping startups thrive
Pay range and compensation package
$120,000 - $160,000 CAD
