Knak Is a Mission‑driven Company

Why? Because our time is limited, our competition is fierce, and our margin for error is small. For us to have the greatest impact on the world, we need to be laser focused on our core mission, which is…

Empowering people to be creative.

That’s why Knak exists.

We are a world‑class enterprise email and landing page creation platform with a focus on making successful and happy customers by providing them with an incredibly powerful, yet easy to use creation platform.

Our industry‑leading SaaS solution is built by Marketers, for Marketers. We know that it’s the small things that make the biggest impact and that emails and landing pages are where the rubber hits the road when it comes to Marketing Automation. We change the way Marketers work by making them more efficient, while improving conversion rate of their campaigns and helping them stay on brand.

Oh, and we have a bit of fun while doing it, too!

The Role: Senior Full Stack Developer — Integrations Team

As a Senior Full Stack Developer on our Integrations Team, you’ll help shape how our platform connects with the broader marketing ecosystem. You’ll design and develop scalable integrations and APIs that unlock new capabilities for our customers.

You’ll collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to deliver exceptional solutions that are intuitive, reliable, and beautifully engineered.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain RESTful APIs and integrations with third‑party platforms
• Design scalable and efficient backend systems using Laravel (PHP)
• Create seamless, responsive UIs in Vue.js that enhance usability
• Work with MySQL databases, optimizing queries and data modeling
• Develop serverless microservices with Node.js on AWS Lambda
• Ensure code quality through testing, reviews, and documentation
• Mentor junior developers and foster continuous improvement
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to solve complex challenges

What You Bring

• 6+ years of full stack development experience
• Expertise in building and optimizing APIs
• Strong knowledge of Laravel and Vue.js (or similar JavaScript frameworks)
• Experience with MySQL and SQL performance tuning
• Familiarity with AWS and serverless architecture
• Understanding of modern SaaS best practices, including CI/CD, TDD, and multi‑tenant systems
• Ability to write clean, maintainable, and well‑documented code
• A collaborative spirit and a drive to help others grow

Bonus Points If You Have

• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes

What We Offer

At Knak we have four foundational pillars. Culture, customers, product and growth. Culture is our number one pillar because we know that it is at the core of building a strong company that can build amazing products and delight our customers. We do this with a laser focus on hiring the right people who are smart, positive and who want more than the typical nine‑to‑five offers.

We offer an extremely rewarding, second to none work environment as acknowledged by Ottawa’s Best Places to Work 2025! We show our investment in our people through our competitive salaries, equity in the company, great benefits, paid vacation, life leave days (because life happens), team lunches and off‑sites, and most importantly our commitment to YOUR career growth.
