Description

  • Design and build scalable backend systems for complex integrations with government and enterprise partners.
  • Develop the infrastructure and patterns for a bidirectional sync system, including error handling, async workflows, and operational automation.
  • Eliminate manual operational work by creating backend services and Lambda functions that reduce support intervention.
  • Implement observability through structured logging, metrics, alerting, and tracing to detect issues early.
  • Debug and validate integration workflows using MongoDB queries, CloudWatch Logs Insights, and SQL queries.
  • Document runbooks and create internal tools that help non-technical teams diagnose and resolve common issues.
  • Collaborate with support, customer success, and external partners to validate fixes and coordinate API or deployment changes.
  • Measure and communicate the impact of automation and reliability improvements across the platform.
  • Participate in architectural discussions for broader platform initiatives and promote reliability best practices.
  • Mentor other engineers and share technical learnings across the engineering team.

Requirements

  • 5–8+ years of experience in backend, platform, or integration engineering roles.
  • Strong backend development experience with TypeScript/Node.js and modern AWS services such as Lambda, EventBridge, and SQS.
  • Deep understanding of distributed systems patterns, including idempotency, retries, eventual consistency, and error handling.
  • Experience building and maintaining integrations with third-party APIs.
  • Proficiency with at least one database technology, either SQL or NoSQL, in production systems.
  • Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills using logs, metrics, and tracing.
  • Experience with GraphQL API design and implementation is highly valuable.
  • Experience with MongoDB or DynamoDB for async workflows and state management is highly valuable.
  • SQL/data warehouse experience with tools such as Redshift or PostgreSQL is highly valuable.
  • Experience with government APIs, legacy enterprise systems, or limited-documentation partners is highly valuable.
  • Experience with event-driven architecture at scale using serverless patterns is highly valuable.
  • Familiarity with CloudWatch Logs Insights, New Relic, or similar observability platforms is highly valuable.
  • Experience with multi-tenant architecture and tenant-specific configuration management is highly valuable.
  • Background working in strict SLA, compliance-heavy, or high-operational-load environments is highly valuable.
  • The role is remote in Canada, with occasional travel up to once per quarter.
  • The hiring team values continuous learning, grit, hunger, and drive over formal educational pedigree.

Benefits

  • Base salary range of $130,000–$170,000 CAD.
  • Unlimited PTO.
  • Health care coverage.
  • Career development budget.
  • Technology reimbursement.
  • Flexible schedules built on trust.
  • Opportunity to work directly with the founding team.
  • Remote-first role in Canada with a Toronto office option for local candidates.
