Senior Software Engineer

Indiegraf • Vancouver, BC

4d • CA$98,000 - CA$147,000 • Remote

About The Position

We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer to join our engineering team. You'll work across our stack to build and maintain the tools independent publishers rely on every day. Our environment spans multiple languages and frameworks, so we need someone who's comfortable moving between them and picking up new ones as needed.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional full stack software engineering experience
• Expertise in TypeScript, one or more frontend frameworks, and at least one other language
• Solid understanding of HTML and CSS
• Experience with relational databases and API design
• Ability and willingness to learn new languages and frameworks as needed: our environment includes Python, PHP, Ruby, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS
• Understanding of application security best practices (secure coding, CSP, authentication/authorization, common vulnerabilities like XSS, XSRF, and SQL injection)
• Strong communication skills and comfort working in a remote, distributed team
• Confidence in writing unit and integration tests
• A track record of shipping and owning production systems
• Ability to own the full development lifecycle of a work product, whether that’s a prototype (that may not have a design or be fully scoped) or a full production feature
• Comfortable using AI coding tools responsibly: able to leverage them for productivity while still understanding, reviewing, and taking ownership of the code you ship

Nice To Haves

• Experience in publishing, media, or subscription/membership platforms
• Experience with Python, PHP, or Ruby specifically
• DevOps experience with Heroku, Google Cloud, AWS, or Cloudflare

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and ship features across the full stack, from database to UI
• Write clean, maintainable and well-tested code
• Collaborate with product, design and other engineers to scope and deliver work
• Debug and resolve issues across our systems
• Drive technical decisions and help shape our architecture
• Work directly with the CTO on technical strategy
• Scale and unify our systems and infrastructure to scale to hundreds of independent publishers
• Review code and mentor other engineers on the team

Benefits

• Love learning and sharing. We believe that constantly testing, gathering data and listening to feedback drives innovation. You are willing to learn and share with humility and are obsessed with seeking feedback to refine your work.
• Are committed to equity and inclusion. Indiegraf is on a mission to change who owns media so that it better serves everyone. We want to work with people who are mindful of the power dynamics in everything they do and who contribute to an equitable work environment.
• Are energized by growth. Creating new products and processes is your thing. Being part of a big, ambitious vision excites you. You're not afraid of change. You love taking chances and being accountable to goals.
• Are always seeking ways to do things more efficiently. Indiegraf is scaling a network of independent news outlets that can succeed in markets where traditional news models fail because they are more efficient. Our team is obsessed with replicability, scalability and cost efficiency.
• Value a healthy work culture. We are a mission-driven, female-led company shaking up legacy news media dynamics. We work hard and unplug most weekends and during vacations. You want to contribute to a great culture that makes our team love Mondays. We are collaborative, and strive to win together as a team.
