About AppDirect

Become a digital, global citizen and enable the new generation of digital entrepreneurs around the world. AppDirect offers a subscription commerce platform to sell any product, through any channel, on any device - as a service. We power millions of subscriptions worldwide for organizations. We do this by our values-driven culture—one that enables you to Be Seen, Be Yourself, and Do Your Best Work.

About You

We are looking to hire a skilled and ambitious Senior Software Developer in Montreal. You are a highly technical, hands-on PHP developer with a passion for producing maintainable and robust code? You’re passionate about driving value through innovative solutions and enjoy working in a collaborative environment? We’d love to have you on board!

What you’ll do and how you’ll have an impact

• You will help shape and evolve the ecosystem for integration into our platform as we scale with more use cases and areas of extensibility;
• Architect and build systems that can process a high volume of transactions;
• Design, implement, and support scalable fault tolerant systems to minimise customer impact in case of failures;
• Participate in the effort to move to a micro-service oriented architecture;

What we’re looking for

• Written/Spoken French and English;
• Strong product mindset;
• Experience developing solutions in various programming languages;
• Strong working knowledge of PHP, Javascript, MySQL;
• Knowledge of web service technologies and building REST and GraphQL APIs;
• Enjoy building production grade code then supporting and maintaining once it goes live;
• You own features end-to-end across the stack and know when to go deep yourself versus partnering with specialists. We expect solid, production-grade fundamentals in infra, backend, data, frontend, and delivery, with the judgment to make trade-offs, unblock others, and raise the bar on how the team ships. Not deep expertise in every layer on every task.
• L2–L3 AI-assisted development: daily use of coding agents for bounded tasks with review (L2), and routine delegation of feature-sized work (L3), with you owning design intent, test strategy, and merge quality.
• Proven track record of delivering end to end business solutions;
• 5 years of relevant experience;
