• You’ll enjoy the flexibility, tempo, and ownership of being part of a startup, and the job security of being employed by one of Canada’s most valuable companies.
• You’ll work with an extremely committed team of colleagues who’re constantly challenging each other, compassionately, and in a transparent, structured way, to get to the next level in our careers.

What will you do?

• Write high‑quality, well‑tested code while understanding business needs.
• Maintain and ensure high quality software, with accountability for production reliability and usage.
• Effectively contribute suggestions and new ideas to improve our platform.
• Design, code, unit test and integrate new features and functionality as defined by the PO and team.
• Participate in code reviews, architectural planning, and delivery meetings.
• Update progress daily through the tracking tool (Jira) or Kanban board.

• Deep experience with databases and data structures (MySQL or Postgres).
• Experience in Unit/Integration testing.
• Experience with ReactJS, Webpack, jQuery/JavaScript/HTML.

• You learn new concepts quickly (industry, business, and technical).
• You have excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• You care deeply about application security and understand the importance of protecting sensitive user data.

Nice to Have:
