Job description

7shifts is an all-in-one team management software platform designed for the restaurant industry. We’re used by 1 in 10 restaurant workers and over 50,000 restaurants across North America. Our mission is to simplify Team Management and improve performance for restaurants, with a long-term vision of elevating what restaurant teams can achieve together.

As a Junior Software Developer at 7shifts, you’ll play an active, hands-on role in building and enhancing our integration platform, focusing on internal integrations, data pipelines, and our public API. You’ll collaborate closely with Product, Design, and Customer Support to deliver scalable solutions that connect 7shifts to the broader restaurant technology ecosystem. You’ll be joining an established, supportive team of developers and an Engineering Manager who will actively guide your onboarding and growth. Through mentorship, pairing, and deep exposure to a technically rich domain, you’ll gain the knowledge and confidence needed to make meaningful contributions to the team. At 7shifts, we value simplicity, technical excellence, and ownership. Your work to improve system reliability and drive innovation will directly support our mission : to save restaurants time, reduce stress, and help teams thrive.

We’re building an inclusive work environment that is representative of the diverse industry we have the pleasure of serving, and encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply.

What you’ll do :

• Build and maintain integrations — Develop backend services, public-facing APIs, and internal data workflows within our integrations platform.
• Design scalable solutions — Partner with your squad to architect and deploy technical solutions that connect 7shifts to external tools and partners.
• Write, test, and deploy code confidently — Get hands-on with code contributions while gaining deep familiarity with our development systems.
• Triage real customer issues — Investigate support-reported problems and collaborate across teams to troubleshoot and resolve integration problems.
• Learn via maintenance rotations — Regularly participate in maintenance windows to explore production workflows and build domain knowledge.
• Engage and grow — Ask thoughtful questions, seek feedback, and apply new insights to continuously refine your engineering skills.
• Own your progress — Embrace a steep learning curve, proactively fill knowledge gaps, and develop across a broad technical domain.

What you bring :

• A degree or diploma in computer science, software engineering, or a related technical field
• Foundational knowledge of web development and databases (e.g., you’ve built and deployed a web app, worked with relational data)
• Demonstrated curiosity and drive, personal projects, GitHub repos, or self-taught skills are all great signals
• A collaborative mindset, you’re a team player who communicates clearly and enjoys learning from others
• Self-starter attitude, you know how to manage your time, ask for help when needed, and keep momentum
• Exposure to AI tooling or development (e.g., ChatGPT API, Cursor, or personal projects using AI tools)
• Interest in solving real problems for customers and improving how restaurants work

It’d be even cooler if you had :

• Experience working with large datasets or data pipelines
• Experience in SaaS and / or restaurant-tech, delivering customer-focused solutions

Our commitment to our team members :

• Opportunity : It’s an exciting time to work at 7shifts—our product is evolving and our team is scaling quickly. Scale like this offers many unique learning opportunities in a short period of time, accelerating the professional growth of our team members
• Challenge : We’re tackling real problems for restaurant owners and we’re just getting started. Working at 7shifts means playing a key role in solving those problems and elevating an entire industry
• Culture : There’s a reason we’re one of the best workplaces in North America! We value integrity, adaptability and collaboration in an environment that moves quickly to drive incredible impact
• Equity : Equity in a Series C, VC-backed SaaS company—enabling every team member to be an owner of their future success!
• Health and Wellness : Competitive health benefits right from the start, lifestyle spending accounts, access to corporate discounts, and a parental leave program that supports caregivers during an important time in their lives
• Flexibility : Our team is intentional around how and where we work—whether that’s remotely, in person at our Toronto and Saskatoon offices, or a mix of both. Plus, we offer a flexible vacation policy to encourage everyone to recharge when they need it. Oh, and a ‘90 Day Shift’ program that supports our team members in exploring the world
• Support : We set our team members up for success with the latest Apple technology, a home office set up, and some fun 7shifts swag to make it official! Plus, we take professional growth seriously and support this through coaching, IDPs, peer and leader feedback, internal promotions, and more
