Level: Senior to Staff (IC) seniority
Compensation: $150,000 to $200,000 base CAD (depending on Seniority)
Focus: This is a Back-end focused Product Role
How We Work
We don’t separate backend and frontend. Engineers here own problems end to end.
This role is primarily backend focused using Python and Flask, but you will also work on server-side rendered frontend using HTMX and GraphQL APIs.
You’ll spend a significant portion of your time building and shipping features, debugging customer issues, and working on integrations across a complex system.
You’ll regularly switch between building new features and resolving real customer issues, often with evolving requirements. This is a high-ownership environment where priorities can shift quickly, requiring strong problem-solving, adaptability, and decisive execution.
About You
You are a product-minded engineer who focuses on solving problems, not just writing code.
You are comfortable working in ambiguity and take ownership of figuring things out. Whether it is unclear requirements, customer pain points, or a complex codebase, you are able to break things down and move forward.
You ask the right questions, think in systems, and care about outcomes over output.
You Bring:
Strong experience building backend systems in Python (Flask, Django, or similar)
Experience working with microservices-based architectures
Ability to own features end to end from design through production and support
Experience working with GraphQL or REST APIs
Strong debugging skills and ability to handle customer-facing production issues
Experience integrating with third-party systems
Comfort working across the stack in a backend-heavy environment
Ability to work through ambiguity and clarify direction before execution
Qualifications:
5 to 8+ years of software engineering experience at an enterprise level
Strong backend fundamentals and system design experience
Experience working in high-ownership, fast-paced environments
Strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Comfortable managing multiple priorities and switching context
Bonus Points:
Experience with server-side rendered frontend (HTMX, Turbo, or similar)
Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
Experience in fintech, accounting systems, logistics, or operational software
Experience working on complex, domain-heavy products
Experience mentoring or supporting other engineers
Perks & Details:
Compensation: $150,000 to $200,000 base CAD (depending on Seniority)
High ownership role with direct impact on product and customers
Opportunity to work on a complex system with real-world operational impact
