Job description

Software Developer

Remote/Kitchener, ON

About the company:

We’re a small and mighty team who have directed our talents at improving the lives & work of civil, architectural, landscape, and environmental engineers and designers. Founded and based in Kitchener, Ontario, Equator Studios has fully embraced WFH, both internally with our remote-first virtual office and at a product level, introducing the world’s first real-time collaborative GIS mapping platform.

A typical workday starts with a virtual stand-up meeting held in a voice call and/or in a text channel (your choice). The development team meets about once every two weeks for sprint review, retrospectives, and planning, plus a company update meeting about once a month. Other than that, the time is yours to dive deep into the work and do what you do best! We use Mattermost for our virtual office, with voice and text channels for collaboration and if you feel social. We’re doing what we can to leverage technology in order to bridge the void that WFH sometimes creates while taking advantage of all the perks that the virtual office provides.

About the work:

We have two active projects that you will be part of:

Equator Geospatial Data Platform – Help our 100K+ (and growing) user base find topographic data, and export it to a format that is required for their workflow. Users create engineering drawings, land surveys, contour maps, GIS reports, 3D-printed/CNC-milled models, video games, digital twins, and much, much more!

AI-Assisted Proposal Writer – Help engineers save time drafting proposals, leveraging our custom tool chain system, to retrieve the right information and tailor it to the job.

We are looking for someone who has a solid foundation of experience, is comfortable with working on a hybrid of front-end and back-end projects, and, most importantly, is excited to learn and leverage new technologies.

• Developing and implementing new software features

• Writing clean, maintainable, and efficient code.
• Participating in code reviews and contribute to best practices.
• Collaborate with senior developers to troubleshoot and debug issues.
• Troubleshooting customer-reported bugs and/or issues

What we are looking for:

We are looking for someone excited to be part of our team who continuously learns new things and genuinely loves solving problems (sometimes, in new and creative ways)!

Benefits:

• The salary range is $55,000 – $69,000 (depending on your level of experience). The salary range was determined based on the stage of our company, as well as compensation reports for a software engineer (0-2 years of experience) working in Kitchener, Ontario.
• Employee stock options
• Health, vision, and dental insurance coverage
• Additional, flexible health and wellness monthly budget
  
• Flexible hours and Work from Home support
