Description

Own and improve core upgrade, stability, and reliability work across Casper’s production system.
Help move the application onto supported versions of Meteor and MongoDB.
Build a deep understanding of how the system behaves in production and use that context to guide changes.
Contribute to product evolution, including score calculation, processing, and presentation across multiple services.
Design and implement approaches for detecting, deterring, and responding to policy violations in an AI-assisted environment.
Improve how programs interpret results through clearer analytics and score presentation.
Support more complex program structures, including institutions operating across multiple campuses and geographies.
Work across the stack on shared system areas such as authentication, payments, test delivery, scoring, alerts, and production support.
Participate in testing and reliability work, including unit, integration, and end-to-end testing.
Plan, validate, and support production changes, including upgrades and breaking changes.
For senior-level work, contribute to system design, lead or co-lead backend-heavy initiatives, and mentor other developers.
For intermediate-level work, own meaningful parts of work end-to-end and grow into a go-to person for parts of the system.

Requirements

Intermediate or senior-level software development experience; the team is specifically targeting mid-to-upper intermediate developers and senior developers.
Currently working in JavaScript or TypeScript in production and able to ramp quickly in that environment.
Experience working on existing systems already in use, where reliability and production impact matter.
Comfort stepping into codebases you did not write and improving them thoughtfully without starting over.
Strong backend-heavy engineering experience, even if you identify as full-stack.
Understanding of how data flows through a system, how services interact, and what can go wrong in production.
Experience with testing practices in real environments, including unit, integration, and end-to-end testing.
Ability to think in trade-offs and know when to refactor versus leave something alone.
Comfort using AI tools such as Copilot, Codex, or Claude as part of a day-to-day workflow.
Canadian residency and valid work authorization are required, with remote work available only within Canada.
For senior roles: experience contributing to system design, improving code quality through reviews and pairing, and mentoring developers.
For intermediate roles: readiness to own larger pieces of work over time and contribute to shaping work, not just implementing tickets.
Familiarity with JavaScript, Meteor, MongoDB, React, and AWS is relevant to the environment.

Benefits

Starting salary of $145,000 to $155,000 CAD for Senior roles.
Starting salary of $120,000 to $142,000 CAD for Intermediate roles.
$3,000 annual learning budget.
Employee stock options.
Fully remote work within Canada, with up to six weeks per year to work internationally.
Self-directed vacation, with most teammates taking 4–6 weeks annually, plus monthly Acuity Days and a two-week company-wide December closure.
Health benefits from day one for employees and dependents.
2% GRSP matching program.
16-week parental leave top-up beyond EI for all parents.
