Who we’re looking for:

The Intermediate Full Stack Developer is an experienced developer with a genuine passion for implementing secure, stable, scaleable yet elegant web applications (including the occasional UI problem) within a B2B environment, and coming up with clean solutions using the latest Javascript tech.

The ideal candidate would be someone who is zealous about designing and implementing functional software solutions. They would also be intimately familiar (and up to date) with their development ecosystem – making sound decisions when it comes to choosing the right tool or library for the job.

What you’ll do:

• Support multiple projects, implement refinements to our APIs and full-stack cloud applications – either independently or as part of a team.
• Participate in development opportunities including training.
• Contribute to both client-facing and internal applications development, while delivering a great UI experience.
• Be a gatekeeper of the codebase and ensure that it stays stable, readable, and free of technical debt, while building & improving code across the entire stack.
• Identify opportunities for improvement and make constructive suggestions for change.
• Participate in design decisions and collaborate in technical reviews.

Requirements:

• Ability to legally work in Canada or the US.
• Expert-level familiarity with modern Javascript (ES6), intimate knowledge of the JS ecosystem (tooling, libraries, etc.), and writing idiomatic Javascript code.
• Web development knowledge (i.e. HTML, CSS, JS) and REST APIs, and a high level familiarity with front-end frameworks, especially React.
• Strong familiarity with software fundamentals such as data structures, algorithms, and databases.
• Well developed written and verbal communications skills, including the ability to read, write, and speak English.
• Keenness for writing good, meaningful tests and maintaining thorough test coverage.
• Understanding of performance implications and scalability of code.
• 3-5 years of experience as a professional software developer.

Great to have:

• An entrepreneurial attitude, i.e. willing to roll up their sleeves and solve complex, all-hands-on-deck problems.
• Experience with the AWS ecosystem of products – not just using S3 and EC2.
• Professional background in Financial Services and/or start ups.
• Practical experience within a serverless-first environment.
• Hands-on know-how modifying or maintaining large, complex code bases.
• B.Sc. degree in Computer Science or related discipline.
