Join to apply for the Software Developer - Site Reliability role at Vendasta

Saskatoon, SK

Are you energized by solving complex technical challenges at scale? Does building resilient, high-performing systems get you up in the morning? We’re looking for a Software Developer to join our Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team and help us deliver secure, scalable, and highly available services to thousands of users worldwide.

About The Job

Vendasta’s SRE team is on a mission to build the foundation for operational excellence, performance, and reliability across our SaaS platform. As a Software Developer on this team, you’ll go beyond writing code — you’ll influence the infrastructure that powers Vendasta’s platform, enhance system observability, and lead incident response practices that make our systems stronger with every challenge.

You’ll join a highly collaborative group of engineers who automate toil, codify best practices, and advocate for a culture of ownership, learning, and continuous improvement. Whether you’re building internal tooling to improve deployment pipelines or solving architectural bottlenecks that impact system uptime, your work will directly influence how our platform evolves and scales.

Your Impact

As a Software Developer, you'll work with other SREs, platform engineers, and product development teams to:

• Design, implement, and optimize resilient infrastructure systems and tools that ensure performance, reliability, and scalability.
• Lead efforts to improve observability through logging, metrics, alerting, and tracing systems (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry).
• Own the development of infrastructure-as-code (IaC) and CI/CD improvements that reduce deployment risks and time-to-resolution.
• Diagnose complex issues across distributed systems and proactively address architectural weaknesses.
• Participate in and lead incident response, postmortems, and root cause analysis with a focus on continuous learning.
• Drive adoption of SRE principles across engineering teams, championing reliability as a shared responsibility.
  
  

What You Bring to the Table

You’re a seasoned software developer with a passion for building reliable systems and enabling teams to ship software with confidence. You thrive in ambiguity, take ownership of big problems, and bring clarity through thoughtful design and execution.

• 2 - 4 years of experience in software development, SRE, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering.
• Expertise in a modern programming language such as Golang, Python, Java, or similar.
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP) and container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes).
• Strong background in system design, with an emphasis on scalability, fault tolerance, and security.
• Deep knowledge of version control, CI/CD pipelines, and Git-based workflows.
• Experience with observability tooling (e.g., Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog, ELK).
• Proven track record of mentoring peers and influencing technical decisions across teams.
• Familiarity with service-level objectives (SLOs), error budgets, and incident management frameworks.
• Contributions to open-source projects or SRE community initiatives.
• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
