Even better if you have hands-on experience with (but not necessary):

What’s in it for you?

Come live the Lightspeed experience...

• Opportunity to make a difference; help merchants grow their businesses and become more successful by creating or improving products and addressing customer feedback
• Work in a team big enough for growth but lean enough to make a real impact
• Development of very high traffic products, used at the global scale
• Opportunities to learn and expand your skill set
• Become a valued part of the diverse and inclusive Lightspeed family

… and enjoy a range of benefits that’ll keep you happy, healthy and (not) hungry:

• Lightspeed equity scheme (we are all owners)
• Flexible paid time off policy
• Health Insurance
• Health and wellness benefit of $500 per year
• Paid leave and assistance for new parents
• Mental health online platform and counseling & coaching services
