About The Position

Optix is looking for a Full Stack Engineer to help us evolve from a rules-based automation platform into a leading conversational, agentic workspace management system. You'll build AI-powered features that help coworking and flex space operators save hours daily while driving revenue growth. Working closely with our Technical Lead and product team, you'll focus on full-stack feature delivery—building the data pipelines, integration patterns, and user experiences that bring AI capabilities to life in our platform. This is a rare opportunity to grow your AI engineering expertise in a profitable, proven SaaS company. You'll work alongside experienced AI leadership who will help you become expert-level in AI development while you leverage your strong full-stack fundamentals to ship meaningful features. Note: This is a hybrid opportunity for someone based in Vancouver, BC (60% in our beautiful waterfront Gastown office, 40% from home).
