Confidential Search — Senior Backend Developer (Remote, Canada)

ivy Group is working with a fast-growing Canadian company in the cloud storage and collaboration space, trusted by over 2 million users worldwide. They're scaling fast — and looking for a Senior Backend Developer, reporting to the CTO, to help take their backend systems, APIs, and SDKs to the next level.

If you’re someone who thrives on autonomy but loves working with a strong team — this is an excellent opportunity for you to grow your career.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Building scalable backend systems in PHP, Node.js, and related tech
• Designing and maintaining robust APIs and SDKs
• Solving performance challenges using tools like Sentry.io and Datadog
• Optimizing database performance (MySQL, NoSQL)
• Collaborating cross-functionally with product and engineering

What You Bring: 3+ years of backend development experience

• Strong database knowledge (SQL + NoSQL)
• Experience with APIs, SDKs, and scalable architecture
• Git, Agile, and maybe even some Docker in your toolkit
• A thoughtful, detail-driven approach to clean, maintainable code

Education and Certifications:

• Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field is preferred — but equivalent experience building and scaling backend systems is just as valuable.
• AWS Certified Developer, MySQL or MongoDB certification, Docker Certified Associate, or similar backend/cloud credentials nice to have but not mandatory.

Why You Might Love This Role: 100% remote (within Canada)

• High-growth, high-impact product
• Fair compensation, collaborative team, and lots of autonomy
• Real opportunity to influence architecture and product direction
