Position Type: Contract/ Full-time Employment
Location: Remote across Canada
You Are:
• You have a passion for helping engineers grow and learn and are excited to help grow the future engineering leaders of the company
• Designing for the future, and building for the present — you have a vision for the systems you work on, but know how to build incremental milestones, and when to make trade-offs between completeness and utility to get to value fast
• You love code — you’re a pro at building roadmaps and design docs, but you don’t like stopping there. You’re incredibly proud of the code you write and review, and like staying close to the systems you own
• Putting your stamp on the team — shaping the culture and growing the team through recruiting leadership and senior engineers, and working closely with engineering managers to develop the operations and processes that allow the team to execute at the highest level
• Building products that make developers' lives easier — both internally and externally.
• Deeply familiar with modern API design, microservices, and workflow/orchestration patterns.
• Experienced in integrating complex workflows across cloud and on-prem environments.
• A technical leader who thrives in startup environments, driving engineering excellence and mentoring teams.
What You Will Do:
• Architect robust, scalable, and secure APIs and workflow/orchestration engines for the core infrastructure management platform.
• Define technical strategy for event-driven and distributed system design, ensuring high availability and resilience.
• Oversee database schema design, ORM integration, and optimization for PostgreSQL.
• Guide the team in adopting best practices for modular, testable, and maintainable code.
• Collaborate with product, engineering, and DevOps to ensure seamless CI/CD, observability, and operational excellence.
• Evaluate and integrate third-party APIs, workflow engines, and event streaming tools as needed.
• Lead code and architecture reviews, mentor engineers, and foster a culture of innovation.
Your Skills:
• 10+ years in backend engineering, with 3+ years in an architect role.
• Strong Hands-On coding skills and able to iterate quickly based on feedback.
• An expert in designing and scaling distributed, event-driven backend architectures using TypeScript, NestJS, and PostgreSQL.
• Extensive experience designing and optimizing PostgreSQL schemas and queries.
• Mastery of ORM tools (TypeORM, Prisma) and event-driven programming (Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar).
• Strong understanding of distributed systems, microservices, and workflow/orchestration patterns.
• Proven ability to design secure, scalable APIs and integrate with external systems.
• Experience with Docker, CI/CD, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure).
• Strong understanding of high-level infrastructure concepts.
• Excellent communication, leadership, and mentoring skills.
