Job description

About Proposify

At Proposify, we're revolutionizing the way businesses create and manage proposals. Our innovative platform streamlines the proposal process, helping teams craft compelling, professional proposals that close deals faster and with greater success. We pride ourselves on fostering a dynamic, inclusive, and collaborative work environment where creativity and innovation thrive. As we continue to grow and enhance our offerings, we are looking for talented individuals who are passionate about technology and driven by the challenge of making complex processes simple and efficient. Join us and be a part of shaping the future of proposal management!

About The Role

You’re a stand-out developer; an expert in system design, understanding scale, architecture, operational concerns, and the compromises inherent in different technical approaches. You possess a strong sense of urgency, and bias towards action, combined with the communication and teamwork skills to convey complex technical details.

You’re a force multiplier. You thrive on moving fast, and elevating your team-mates by:

• Guiding teams to great solutions that deliver value to our customers.
• Helping to level up less experienced engineers.
• Advocating for best practices.
• Participating in, supporting, and refining squad work prioritization and agile processes, leveraging data-driven metrics to find and capitalize on opportunities to get better, and faster.
• Living and breathing Proposify’s core values.

What You'll Do:

• You'll spend around 60% of your time on frontend development and 40% on the backend.
• Own projects from start to finish — planning, architecture, development, delivery, and everything in between.
• Design and build systems that are robust, scalable, and maintainable — and share your knowledge to help others do the same.
• Champion clean code, solid testing, and smooth deployment practices across the team.
• Work closely with product managers, designers, and other teams to make sure we’re building the right things the right way.
• Spot technical challenges early and lead the charge in solving them — whether it's a quick fix or a long-term improvement.
• Always be looking for ways to make our systems faster, more reliable, and easier to work with.
• Play a big role in shaping where we’re headed — technically and as a team.

About You

• Proven ability to work independently and drive results using the following technologies:
• Front end: HTML5, React/Redux, LESS, WebSocket, Material-UI (MUI).
• Back end: PHP, Node.js, RESTful web services, and various AWS services (EC2, ECS, Elastic Beanstalk, Lambda, S3, CloudFormation, API Gateway, SQS, Kinesis, RDS).
• Architecture: Familiarity with monorepos and microservice-based systems.
• You’re a clear communicator who can break down complex technical ideas for both technical and non-technical folks.
• Experienced with version control systems, CI/CD pipelines, and writing unit and end-to-end (E2E) tests.
• You take a proactive, problem-solving mindset into everything you do — and you’re not afraid to dive into something new to figure it out.
• You’ve spent time mentoring others or leading technical discussions, and you enjoy helping teammates grow.
• You’ve designed systems that are built for performance, reliability, and scale — and you think long-term when making technical decisions.

About the Team

The Spark Squad is a collaborative, supportive team that values open communication and creative problem-solving. We're passionate about building innovative WYSIWYG tools that allow users to create their proposals in real time. With live updates as a key feature, a solid understanding of async actions and keeping data in sync is essential. As the core feature of Proposify, the team takes great pride in delivering top-quality, reliable solutions, and strives to improve and innovate continuously.

What You'll Love About Us

While Proposify world headquarters is in Halifax, Nova Scotia, we are a 100% remote company with employees working from all over the world. We’ve invested in all of the systems and tools that make remote work enjoyable, productive, and connected.

People feel empowered to do their best work and test out ideas. They don’t just ask ‘Why?’ but try ‘Why not?’ We are a team that embraces the new, the maybe, the unknown because we know that’s where growth lies; just beyond our comfort zone, just beyond what the experts say, and way beyond the way- we’ve-always-done-things.

Everyone is a leader in their role and has the autonomy and responsibility to contribute, to change, and to challenge. We don’t care how many hours people work, we care about the quality and impact of their work.

We get shit done. We get shit done fast. We are not a static company; we are moving forward and continually evolving to make things better for our business and the businesses of our customers. We have flex hours so employees can design their day to work when they’re most productive, and allow for time each day to spend with family and friends, take advantage of nice weather, focus on wellness, and pursue their hobbies and passions.

Some Of Our Benefits Include

• Competitive market based salaries
• Company provided and paid health benefits from the day you start, paid entirely by Proposify
• Virtual Health Care
• RRSP matching program from the day you start with no vesting period
• Generous Paid Time Off Policy including: 3 weeks of vacation to start; paid sick leave; personal days; birthday leave, company-wide end-of-year holiday break
• Skills Training Enrichment Program to grow your knowledge and skills within your role
• Brightpass (free online fitness and wellness courses)
• Flexible working hours so you can do your best work when you are at your best
• WFH Stipend setting you up for success!

At Proposify, we value and celebrate the diversity of our team and welcome applications from racially visible persons, Indigenous peoples, women in non-traditional positions, persons with disabilities, and persons of the LGBTQ+ community.

Proud to be Great Place to Work certified, reflecting our commitment to a supportive, inclusive, and growth-oriented workplace.
