How would you like your code to be used by millions of people every single day? As a Backend-focused Developer on our team, you will drive the evolution of Canada’s largest weather apps (The Weather Network and MétéoMédia) as well as Spain’s top weather platform (El Tiempo) by continuing to build out the backend services to support dynamic application layouts, personalization, and core foundational services for our users.
We are currently optimizing and scaling our next-generation Weather applications—a single app binary that supports multiple brands and platforms. If you love solving complex, high-traffic technical challenges, want to champion clean architecture, and are excited about using modern AI development tools like GitHub Copilot to accelerate real-world features—we want you on our team.

Please note, we are only considering candidates who are eligible to work in Canada and can work in a Hybrid model at our Oakville location.
- Architect & Innovate: Design, develop, and optimize high-performance features and foundational backend APIs using Go and Node.js to power dynamic application layouts and user personalization engines.
- Scale for Millions: Continuously optimize code for lightning-fast performance, low latency, and heavy traffic spikes, leveraging AWS and on-premise based infrastructure, along with GCP, for backend service support.
- Own the Lifecycle: Take ownership of end-to-end features, from writing clean, robust code to managing smooth deployments to the App Store and Google Play using Jenkins and Fastlane.
- Modernize & Refactor: Keep our codebase pristine. You'll enjoy the balance of writing greenfield code from scratch and thoughtfully refactoring legacy systems, utilizing GitHub Copilot to speed up unit testing and boilerplates.
- Collaborate & Build: Champion engineering best practices, participate in code reviews, and collaborate across a modern ecosystem utilizing AWS, Go, Node.js, and Kubernetes, as well as GCP.
Roles, responsibilities and duties may evolve and change over time.
- Backend Expertise: 5+ years of experience in software development with a strong focus on backend infrastructure, specifically building the foundational services that drive dynamic layouts and personalization.
- Cloud & Infrastructure: Experience working alongside cloud-based architectures, specifically AWS and GCP, as well as Docker, containerization, and microservices.
- Testing Champion: You are familiar and experienced in Unit and Integration Testing to ensure our foundational APIs and data pipelines handle heavy traffic seamlessly.
- Modern Tooling & AI: Comfortable integrating GitHub Copilot into your daily workflow to write efficient code and accelerate development.
- Code Versatility: Equally comfortable refactoring legacy code and writing new code from scratch.
- Full Stack Bonus (React Native): While this role is centered on backend services, practical experience with React Native and React (TypeScript proficiency is highly preferred), or proven experience deploying and managing mobile applications to the Play Store and App Store using automated CI/CD tools like Fastlane and Jenkins, is a highly valued asset.
- Have a passion for creating highly performant mobile applications backed by powerful, scalable server-side architecture.
- Are proactive, show initiative, and value quality in everything you do.
- Aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves, try something new, and embrace modern AI-assisted engineering.
