Senior Backend/Applied AI Developer

Bridgit

1d•CA$120,000 - CA$170,000

About The Position

The construction industry is facing a severe labor shortage. The industry is at an inflection point where they must reimagine talent and modernize their people strategy. Bridgit is the category leader for workforce planning and working with the largest and most sophisticated US general contractors. Although we have continued to gain traction since launching in 2019, there is significant opportunity ahead as we continue to innovate and broaden our offering. As a Senior Backend Developer at Bridgit, you'll take ownership of designing, testing, and building new backend solutions, while also evolving and maintaining our existing systems. You'll focus on creating scalable, reliable services that power real impact for construction teams. This is a role for someone who wants to build at the intersection of solid backend engineering and applied AI - increasingly, the services you ship will incorporate LLM-powered capabilities, and we're looking for someone genuinely excited to explore how technologies like large language models can enhance both our product and our team's developer experience.

Requirements

5+ years of hands-on experience building high-quality software
Strong command of C#, Go, or another modern backend language (and you're eager to learn our stack if needed)
Skilled in architecting and building scalable, distributed systems, and can clearly articulate your design decisions
Extensive experience with SQL and/or NoSQL databases and an understanding of how to design for performance and reliability
Product-driven and cross-functional - thrive in collaborative, product-oriented environments and have actually deployed and maintained services in production
AI-assisted development habits - regularly use tools like Cursor, Claude Code, or similar, and you're excited about the transformative potential of AI in software development
Curious and growth-minded - stay current with the latest technologies and practices, share knowledge generously, and believe in growing stronger as a team

Nice To Haves

Hands-on experience with applied AI and LLMs - you've built real things using Claude, OpenAI, or other major LLMs, not just experimented in a notebook
Production LLM integration - you've designed backend systems that integrate LLM capabilities into production workflows
PostgreSQL or Redis experience
