We are looking for a Full-Stack Web Developer to join our Marketing team and help build, maintain, and evolve our marketing website and related applications. You will work across the stack — from creating intuitive, user-friendly front-end components to building and maintaining robust back-end systems.

For this role, you should be located in Canada, and able to work within EST/EDT hours. We offer a choice of fully remote, partially remote or fully office-based work environments (in cities with local offices).

What you will be doing

• Develop and maintain scalable, maintainable, and secure full-stack applications and web components
• Build, evolve, and implement new and existing UI/UX features in close collaboration with the design team
• Develop and optimize backend logic, APIs, and integrations to support frontend functionality
• Maintain and extend our WordPress ecosystem, including custom themes, plugins, and Gutenberg blocks
• Ensure high standards of code quality through reviews, testing, and peer collaboration
• Participate in technical discussions, architecture decisions, and feature planning
• Stay current with both frontend and backend best practices and technologies

What you need to bring

• Strong experience with backend development (PHP and Node.js, databases such as MySQL/Postgres)
• Strong knowledge of semantic HTML, CSS (Sass/LESS), and building responsive, accessible interfaces
• Knowledge of SEO best practices in development to ensure code and content structure support overall search visibility
• Experience working with RESTful APIs and integrations (building and consuming)

Solid experience with CMS platforms (e.g., WordPress, Wordpress Multisite & Gutenberg) and customizing them when needed

• Experience with version control (Git/GitHub) and modern development workflows
• Ability to estimate, scope, and deliver features independently and as part of a team
• Ability to contribute to clear documentation and actively share knowledge to support team collaboration and project continuity
• A strong interest in great UX and performance-driven development
• As a global company with employees and clients outside of Quebec, fluency in English as a working language is required for this position.

Nit: Nice to have

• Experience with testing (unit, integration, e2e with Cypress/Jest)
• Knowledge of Google Tag Manager (GTM) and website analytics (GA4)
• Familiarity with TypeScript
• Experience with cloud hosting environments (e.g., AWS, GCP) and deployment workflows
• Knowledge of security and performance best practices for web applications
• Experience working in an Agile development environment
• Leverage AI-assisted development tools thoughtfully to improve productivity, while ensuring code quality, security, and maintainability

Now, what is in it for you?

• Ability to do your job in a truly flexible environment;
• Genuine career opportunities in a company that’s creating new jobs everyday;
• Work in a team big enough for growth but lean enough to make a real impact.

…. And enjoy a range of benefits that will keep you happy, healthy and (not) hungry.

• Lightspeed equity scheme (we are all owners).
• Flexible paid time off and remote work policies.
• Health insurance.
• Contributions to your pension plan - RRSP.
• Health and wellness benefit of $500 per year.
• Paid leave and assistance for new parents.
