The Opportunity

Help shape the next version of DemandBridge’s e-commerce product. As our Senior Commerce Engineer, you’ll own its technical evolution: identifying what needs to change, deciding how to improve it and building those improvements across the stack.

You’ll work with an established platform and take it forward, making decisions about what to build, refactor or replace to improve performance, scalability and the customer experience. Your work will span architecture, services, the database and the front end, giving you the scope to turn your recommendations into working software.

Working closely with R&D, product, support and leadership, you’ll connect customer needs with engineering priorities and guide how the product evolves. This is a hands-on technical leadership role without people-management responsibilities, with ownership of both new development and production reliability.

The salary range for this role is $120,000 CAD–$135,000 CAD per year. Final compensation will be determined based on experience, skills, and location.
