• Introduce full stack architecture and development approaches to the team and delivery cycle.
• Architect and implement GraphQL-based integrations for scalable and efficient data access.
• Implement unit testing and integrate it with continuous integration tools as required.
• Establish and champion back-end best practices, ensuring extensibility, performance, scalability, and maintainability.
• Provide technical mentorship and conduct thorough code reviews to raise the overall bar for the team.
• Collaborate closely with product, design, backend, infrastructure and data platform teams to deliver high-quality, customer-focused features.
• Own aspects of release management, ensuring smooth deployments and stable production environments.
• Act as a thought leader, influencing technical strategy and contributing to the team’s long-term success.

Who we hope to find.

• Proven professional experience in Ruby on Rails and React development.
• Advanced knowledge of Rails architecture and design patterns.
• Strong understanding of Postgres (schema design, performance tuning, queries).
• Expertise in GraphQL integrations and API design.
• Experience with release management practices, CI/CD pipelines, and version control (Git).
• Demonstrated ability to lead teams, mentor developers, and conduct effective code reviews.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence technical and product decisions.
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS). (Nice to have)

Why Join Us?

• Be part of REW.ca, a leading proptech platform connecting millions of Canadian home seekers with their next property.
• Opportunity to shape the architecture and direction of a product at the forefront of the real estate technology space.
• Collaborate with a talented, mission-driven team passionate about building intuitive, data-rich, and engaging experiences for home buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals.
• Competitive compensation, benefits, and opportunities for professional growth in a fast-evolving industry.
