Who we are looking for:

As a talented full-stack developer, you will contribute your excellent technical design & coding skills, as well as your impressive productivity. You'll be a part of a brilliant, high-paced, customer- and quality-oriented team.

This role is very business logic intensive. You will thrive if:

• you like being a programming generalist that directly impacts the lives of the customers.
• are a self-starter who thrives without micromanagement (“a manager of one”).
• you prefer to write clean, readable, and maintainable code without overengineering things.
• love math, algorithms & data structures.
• enjoy and are open to learning, in-depth, how a company works and reports its activity. 

The UI layout will take no more than 10% of your time, business logic implementation/bug fixing will be about 70%, and you can expect to spend up to 20% on technical design and shaping high-level user stories for new features.
 

Responsibilities
 

• New feature development. A significant part of that will involve shaping high-level user stories into technical designs and discussing them with the stakeholders prior to the implementation.
• Bug fixing.
• Testing your own code with unit tests (and integration tests where needed).
• Tech debt maintenance tasks and refactoring to ensure best engineering practices.
• Selected engineers on the team will also eventually conduct code reviews.
• Make sure the CI/CD pipelines are in smooth sailing mode. Occasional SSH into our development/production servers 😄.

Requirements:

• 5 years of software development experience.
• College / university degree in a STEM field.
  • We are open to considering exceptional candidates without a degree with a proven track record of senior-level work.
• Good written English skills.
• Tech stack - Typescript / React / Docker, plus just a bit of C# .NET, nginx, and AWS. We would like someone who is proficient in at least some of those technologies, and ready to work with all of them.
• Business-oriented mindset: someone who loves beautiful code but keeps the end goals in mind: making the customer happy and driving the company forward. 
• Experience working in an ERP industry and basic accounting knowledge is a plus.

What we don't want: out-staffing or over-employed individuals - at this stage of our growth, we strongly prefer someone fully engaged, focused, proactive and productive!
 

If you're unsure whether you'd be a good fit but still interested in us, reach out regardless. For the most part, what we really seek is high intelligence, excellent performance, and work ethics, and readiness to do a variety of tasks in a small team, making an impact every day 💪
 

Terms:

• 100% remote environment with flexible working hours. Your schedule should still be reasonably predictable and responsiveness in communications is a must. You should be able to provide at least 3 hours overlap with the EST (Montreal) time zone.
• Full-time for Canadian citizens; for overseas candidates, an hourly arrangement with at least 35 hours / week availability.
• A stable internet connection and videoconferencing capability is required (with camera on).
• Benefits programme after a probation period of 3 months: 
  • medical insurance,
  • coworking / office expenses compensation, 
  • 25 days of paid time off, 
  • retirement contribution of up to 6% of your salary.
  • cash bonus at the end of every year.
