Job description

About Voyis

Voyis designs and manufactures high performance underwater optical sensors (lasers, cameras, lights)for underwater vehicles that expand capability and enhance understanding in underwater surveys and exploration. Our products have enabled our customers to survey more than 10,000km of ocean floor across all 7 continents, helping people better understand those remote, challenging environments.

Our mission is to push the limits of what’s possible subsea and enable every underwater vehicle to see the depths like we see the surface. All our products are proudly designed and built in Waterloo.

What you’ll do

We're looking for a Software Developer (Internal Tools) to build and maintain the software that keeps our teams moving. Internal tools are often treated as an afterthought — not here. We believe well-crafted tooling with a great user experience is a force multiplier: it streamlines processes, reduces errors, and gives our engineers and technicians time back every day.

This role suits a developer with diverse coding experience who hasn't sacrificed fundamentals along the way. You'll work across languages, platforms, and problem domains — one week you might be building a GUI for a calibration workflow, the next automating a data pipeline or improving a deployment process. Curiosity and a willingness to learn unfamiliar domains (for example, sensor calibrationor data quality) matter as much as your current toolkit.

Core responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain internal tools and applications that streamline engineering and operational workflows
• Prioritize usability and user experience — internal users deserve polished, intuitive tools, not clunky scripts
• Write high-quality, well-structured, and maintainable code with appropriate testing and documentation
• Develop and support tooling across both Windows and Linux environments
• Collaborate closely with internal users (engineers, technicians, operations) to gather requirements, iterate on feedback, and measure whether tools actually improve their workflows
• Maintain and improve existing tools, managing technical debt pragmatically
• Contribute to team standards around code review, version control, and release practices

Your qualifications

• 2–5 years of professional software development experience
• Strong experience in one or more Rust, C#, Go. Familiarity with C++ is a plus.— comfortable working across multiple languages and picking up new ones as needed
• Database management experience — schema design, administration, backups, query optimization
• Solid grounding in software development principles: clean architecture, testing, version control, code review, and maintainability — quality matters here
• Hands‑on experience developing for and working in both Windows and Linux environments
• Strong sense of user experience — you think about the person using the tool, not just the code behind it
• Genuine willingness to learn new technical domains and processes (e.g., sensor calibration workflows) — you ask good questions and ramp up quickly
• Clear communicator who can work directly with non‑developer users to understand their needs

Bonus Points

• DevOps experience — CI/CD pipelines, build automation, infrastructure as code (big plus)
• Experience with Ansible for configuration management and automation (another big plus)
• Experience working with or alongside hardware — test rigs, sensors, lab equipment, or production hardware
• Familiarity with scripting and automating repetitive engineering or operational processes
• Exposure to robotics, computer vision, or sensor-driven systems

Work Location

This is primarily an in‑person role based at our Waterloo headquarters. Some flexibility for remote workisavailable; however,fully in person is preferred and a minimum offourdayson‑site is expected to support close collaboration with the teamwho isnearly fulltime in office.

The Perks

• 5 weeks of total time off, flexible work hours and a dedication to a work-life balance.
• Employee-directed personal education funds to drive continuous learning
• Profit-sharing within to celebrate our successes together
• Regular company‑wide social events
• Health and vision benefits
• RRSP Matching
