32d • CA$115,000 - CA$130,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Cova is seeking a Senior Web Developer to take technical ownership of our Hub product, a core web-based surface that connects platform capabilities, internal tools, and partner integrations. In this role, you will be accountable for the architecture, code quality, technical decision-making, and long-term health of the Hub product. You will collaborate closely with product management, design, backend and platform teams, and the broader web guild. This is a hands-on senior contributor role with significant influence. While it does not include formal people management, it requires technical leadership, strong judgment, and a clear sense of ownership.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional experience building and maintaining modern web applications.
• Strong experience with React (functional components and hooks).
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript and modern JavaScript.
• Experience with Node.js (e.g., Express or similar frameworks).
• Solid understanding of RESTful APIs and frontend–backend integration.
• Proven ability to design and own large, long-lived codebases.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Nice To Haves

• Micro-frontend architectures (e.g., single-SPA, Webpack Module Federation).
• Design systems and reusable component libraries.
• Automated testing strategies for frontend applications.
• Azure and Azure DevOps pipelines.
• Experience building software in regulated environments.

Responsibilities

• Own the technical vision and architecture of the Hub product, balancing near-term delivery with long-term platform health.
• Design, build, test, and maintain complex web applications using modern frontend technologies.
• Make and clearly communicate decisions around frontend architecture, tooling, frameworks, and integration patterns.
• Identify, prioritize, and actively reduce technical debt within the Hub codebase.
• Collaborate closely with backend and platform teams on API design and integration strategies.
• Provide high-quality code reviews and contribute to shared web standards through the web guild.
• Help evolve build, deployment, and CI/CD pipelines associated with the Hub product.
• Actively leverage AI coding tools as part of your daily workflow while applying strong engineering judgment.
• Use AI tools (e.g., Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, etc. chat-based agents) to accelerate development and problem-solving.
• Understand how to prompt, guide, and iteratively refine AI outputs to achieve high-quality results.
• Exercise sound judgment in validating, refining, and integrating AI-generated code.
• Apply AI to learning, prototyping, debugging, and refactoring — not as a substitute for fundamentals, but as leverage.
• Understand that AI tools are evolving rapidly and actively explore ways to move beyond basic code-generation use cases, leveraging automation, agents, and modern development workflows to improve outcomes across the software lifecycle.
• Demonstrate curiosity and a willingness to explore emerging development practices, including AI-assisted workflows, developer experience (DevX), CI/CD, automation, and DevOps tooling.
• Be comfortable working through ambiguity, experimenting, iterating, and establishing practical best practices where clear patterns or processes do not yet exist.
• Look beyond immediate feature delivery to identify opportunities to improve developer productivity, build quality, deployment processes, and overall engineering effectiveness.

Benefits

• Competitive starting salary
• Comprehensive benefits package for you and your entire family
• Flexible hybrid working environment
• Generous vacation and sick time policies
• Maternity, adoption, and paternity leave salary top ups
• Ten “New Baby Days” for all parents welcoming a new child into their life
