Backend Developer (Java) — Integration Environments

Immediate Opening, Montreal (Hybrid Mode)

Sherpa is seeking developers who can design robust backend environments tailored to each project and collaborate effectively with our clients, integration teams, production, development, and product teams.

We provide mobile and web platforms used at conferences, trade shows, and professional events worldwide.

Our clients rely on us to deliver reliable solutions on time. It can be demanding at times, but the impact on the success of these events is so rewarding.

Your role

You will prepare and secure the backend environments and foundations (endpoints, structures, formats, data flows) used to power our client platforms for their conferences and trade shows. This includes normalizing formats to ensure compatibility with our internal systems.

This isnot a cloud or infrastructure role. It is a backend role focused on preparing integration environments. You will work with highly variable data and third-party systems to create uniform, structured outputs compatible with our internal platforms.

Our integration teams will then transform the content into live deliverables used at major international events.

This is a critical role in our production operations:

• You’ll analyze client-provided APIs, formats, and system constraints to design structured backend environments ready for integration
• You’ll structure integration flows, prepare input formats, anticipate issues, and equip integrators with the environments, tools, scripts, or configurations they need
• You’ll work extensively with REST APIs, transforming external inputs into structured backend environments
• You’ll optimize database interactions with PostgreSQL and SQL
• Advanced proficiency in Java (or another object-oriented language)
• Advanced proficiency in SQL skills (preferably PostgreSQL or Oracle)
• Advanced proficiency in HTTP basics and web services
• Solid experience integrating REST APIs
• Experience with JSON, XML, XLS, and CSV formats
• Comfortable working with client data in formats like CSV, Excel, or XML, and designing backend environments for integration pipelines
• Fluent in English (for client-facing work)
• Fluent in French (required for internal collaboration)

Who you are

• A clear and confident communicator who thrives in a team setting;
• Methodical, proactive, and calm under pressure;
• Skilled at identifying and solving complex technical problems;
• Comfortable juggling multiple live projects and changing contexts;
• Driven to deliver on time, even under tight constraints and with messy or non-standard data;
• Not just a coder — you understand systems, edge cases, and how to make things work across formats and tools.
• You’re comfortable working in both English and French
• We offer flexibility for a healthy work-life balance and a competitive benefits package
• Our projects and clients are exciting and high-profile
• Our teams and work culture are smart, dynamic, friendly, and relaxed
• You’ll be involved from day one in concrete deliverables that matter
