Senior Software Engineer
About The Position
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be continually involved in shaping the direction of the technologies we use and how we use them. As someone who is familiar with the ever-changing universe of the web, you'll have the freedom to choose your own tools for development. This freedom is encouraged through a relaxed view on coding that allows for individual expression — where everyone has a voice and every opinion is valued. Our team believes in a thoughtful and well-planned development cycle. We iterate, refactor, and rewrite — in other words, no throwing code over the fence. You'll have ownership of the experiences you create, continually improving them and eventually providing production support. You would be joining as a member of a small but growing team, helping shape a culture that empowers the team to make great technical decisions, drive strategic choices, actively improve processes, and mentor others. This role follows a hybrid schedule, with in-office work required on Wednesdays and Thursdays from our Toronto office to support collaboration, and flexibility to work remotely for the remainder of the week.
