Our innovative proposal generation platform transforms how financial professionals compare, discuss, and present investment options, empowering clients to make informed decisions. We pride ourselves on revolutionizing an outdated process with a product that's adopted 4x more than previous solutions. One executive called CapIntel "the most intuitive platform I've used in almost 20 years in financial services."

As one of Canada's fastest-growing wealthtech companies, CapIntel is expanding at an unprecedented pace. Our relentless commitment to innovation drives us to build a dynamic team, strengthening our ability to impact the wealth industry landscape in 2025 and beyond.

About The Role

CapIntel is looking for a Senior Full-Stack Developer to help shape the architecture, scalability, and performance of our platform. You'll play a key role in driving technical strategy and delivering high-quality, scalable solutions across the stack.

Working closely with designers, product managers, and other developers, you'll ensure our platform is not only powerful and performant, but also intuitive and accessible for users. Your expertise in both frontend and backend technologies will be central to the long-term success of our product.

If you're excited about working on impactful products in a collaborative environment, we'd love to hear from you!

What You'll Do

• Architect and build scalable web applications using JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Express.js, and Node.js.
• Optimize performance and infrastructure, including caching strategies, lazy loading, and efficient database queries.
• Ensure accessibility and UI consistency (WCAG compliance) across our platform.
• Integrate seamlessly across the stack, ensuring smooth communication between frontend and backend systems.
• Conduct thoughtful code reviews and contribute to a high standard of technical quality.
• Implement testing strategies, using tools like Jest to ensure reliability and stability.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to align engineering efforts with product and business goals.
• Continuously evaluate and adopt emerging technologies that improve developer workflows and platform scalability.
  
  

What You'll Bring

• Full-Stack Expertise: Significant experience with JavaScript/TypeScript, including React and Node.js.
• MERN Stack Experience: Proficient with MongoDB, Express.js, React, and Node.js.
• Backend Architecture: Deep understanding of scalable backend design, API development, and system integrations.
• Testing & Quality: You build with quality in mind, writing maintainable code supported by thorough testing practices.
• Clear Communication: You communicate technical decisions effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ownership and Flexibility: You take initiative, follow through on responsibilities, and adapt as priorities evolve.
  
  

Bonus Experience

• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP), CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps best practices.
• Experience with serverless architectures (e.g., AWS Lambda).
• Expertise in identifying and solving complex system performance issues.
  
  

The Interview Process

• Multiple Choice Technical Assessment: A general assessment of your JavaScript and coding skill sets, designed to evaluate your foundational technical knowledge.
• 30-Minute Video Call with a Talent Acquisition Partner: A conversation to get to know you better, discuss your experience and motivations, and explore your technical knowledge and cultural fit for the role.
• 60-Minute Interview with a Member of Engineering Leadership: A deeper dive into your technical expertise, problem-solving abilities, and alignment with our team's goals. This interview also focuses on your approach to collaboration and communication within a cross-functional environment.
• 75-Minute Live Coding Session: A hands-on coding session with a Team Lead or Engineering Leader. You'll be tasked with solving a technical problem in real-time, where we'll evaluate your coding skills, problem-solving abilities, and approach to optimizing code.
