Senior Back-End Developer - Platform Engineering (.NET)

Company Description

Workleap is a Montreal-based tech company on a mission to make work simpler.

Since 2006, we’ve been building game-changing products that tackle HR and IT’s biggest challenges.

Workleap operates two distinct product lines:

• The Workleap Platform, an AI-powered HR solution designed to drive team performance and boost employee engagement.
• ShareGate, the leading Microsoft 365 migration and governance solution, trusted by IT professionals worldwide for its unmatched simplicity.

Today, more than 20,000 companies rely on Workleap products to grow, lead, and operate with confidence.

We’re builders at heart, with a clear purpose: to craft the simplest products that deliver exceptional value for our customers.

Job Description

As a Senior Back-End Developer, you will be at the heart of the internal platform initiatives on which all Workleap products are built. As part of an agile and dynamic team, you will explore new ideas, build prototypes and contribute to the development of a catalogue of services available to all developers as ready-to-use services to promote reuse, which will reduce development costs, shorten time to market and lead to a more advantageous return on investment. This is a unique opportunity to influence all Workleap products and evolve software development practices for all Workleap developers.

Responsibilities:

• Explore promising ideas and rapidly develop prototypes to test different technologies
• Work within a small team driven by a strong spirit of experimentation and rapid iteration cycles
• Adopt a trial-and-error approach, viewing each attempt as a learning opportunity
• Take calculated risks, gather early feedback, and adjust solutions to maximize impact
• Work closely with developers in your team, other teams and technology leaders (staff and principal developers, managers and directors)
• Guide the technical implementation of experiments, bridging the gap between exploration and industrialization
• Identify high-potential ideas and select the right technologies to bring them into production

What does your future team look like?

You will join a multidisciplinary team composed of back-end software developers and a software development manager.

What are the team's principles?

• Open software, open minds. We value collective intelligence and seek external contributions to help us achieve our goals faster and better.
• We are humble. We actively listen to understand developers' challenges and needs, using their feedback to continuously improve our solutions.
• We deliver value. We seek broad adoption by generating iterative, tangible, and compelling value for developers, not by forcing them to use our solutions.
• Quality documentation and support are crucial. We don't stop at building a solution. We understand that the value of the platform is also reflected in the quality of the documentation and the help and support we offer to the developers who use it.
• We act as a team. We embody a high-performance team spirit in order to move forward together toward an ambitious common goal and do everything possible to achieve it together. We tend to act and decide quickly.
• We embrace AI as an essential component of the way we work and the solutions we deploy.

What are the next challenges awaiting your team?

• Propelling Workleap into an era of AI-enhanced CI/CD.
• Offering AI features for logging, monitoring, and alerting.
• Accelerate developers in building features and products.

Qualifications

Who we are

We’re a team of curious minds and bold builders, brought together by a shared drive to make work simpler — and better — for everyone. Challenges fuel our creativity, fast-paced environments keep us sharp, and pushing boundaries is just part of how we operate. We believe the best ideas come from experimentation, rapid learning, and even the occasional discomfort — that’s where growth happens.

Since 2006, we’ve been rethinking the way teams work, blending creativity and tech to solve real problems in IT and HR. We move quickly, we learn constantly, and we always keep our customers at the center of what we do. If you're a proactive thinker who takes ownership, loves to collaborate, and isn’t afraid to leap into the unknown — you’ll fit right in.

Additional Information

At Workleap, we build together, we trust each other, and we support each other in success or failure. You will be able to express yourself, evolve and develop your creativity in an environment that will adapt to your daily life and your needs.
