Job Details

At Floqer AI, we are on a mission to revolutionize how sales teams sell - by helping them turn their bold creative Go-to-market ideas into reality, and go beyond human capabilities. We are a VC-backed, high-growth startup with a beautiful office, situated right in the heart of downtown Halifax. We’re a small team of talented, passionate individuals who want to make an impact on the world and we’re looking for a sharp, collaborative person to join us in our hustle.

About the Role

We’re seeking a driven and dynamic Founding Software Engineer to join us in person. Candidates from all over Canada/US are encouraged to apply; this role requires being in person for 3 months (with relocation assistance provided if necessary), with the option of it being remote after spending 4-6 months with the team in person. You’ll be working towards ensuring the quality of our codebase, coding new features, and resolving customer issues -- 70% of your time will go towards heads-down coding and 30% towards talking to customers and fixing their issues. This role requires technical excellence, strong communication skills, and a customer-first mindset.

What You’ll Be Doing:

1. Writing code.
2. Maintaining and improving code quality, ensuring robust and efficient cloud-based solutions.
3. Engaging directly with customers to troubleshoot and resolve their issues effectively, including jumping on calls when needed.
4. Collaborating closely with the CTO and business operations teams to align technical solutions with business needs.

Why Join Floqer?

1. Equity Opportunity: We value your commitment and ensure that you are rewarded with a compensation package that includes equity ownership.
2. Zero Bureaucracy, 100% Collaboration: You won’t need to climb a corporate ladder to make an impact; you will be growing with the company and eventually leading teams.
3. Growth Opportunities: As we scale, you'll have the chance to grow with us, taking on new challenges and advancing your career rapidly.
4. No Two Days Are the Same: Startups are fast-paced, and every day brings new challenges and opportunities. If you thrive in a dynamic, ever-changing environment, you’ll feel right at home.
5. Work Hard, Play Hard: While we work intensely to build something remarkable, we also believe in celebrating milestones and achievements as a team. Join us for team dinners, retreats, and connects.

What We’re Looking For:

1. Extensive experience with cloud platforms (we use GCP).
2. Advanced skills in SQL and query optimization, caching databases, and building stable, large-scale applications and databases.
3. Advanced backend engineering skills.
4. Strong problem-solving abilities, with expertise in diagnosing and resolving technical issues.
5. Excellent communication skills, capable of simplifying complex solutions for diverse audiences.
6. Comfortable engaging with customers directly, including live troubleshooting sessions.
7. A minimum of 3 years of experience in developing web applications and scalable systems.
8. Open to exceptions if we find the right fit.

Nice to Have:

1. Experience with Langchain or other LLM frameworks.
2. Experience working in a startup environment.

Benefits:

1. Health and wellness benefits.
2. Equity options.
3. Snacks & drinks provided in-office.
4. Weekend dinners, off-sites, retreats, and events.

Our Values:

1. We’re customer obsessed, NOT customer driven.
2. Luck comes from action, not from stars.
3. Change is the only constant.

Our team has left behind traditional jobs to pursue something meaningful, and we’re building Floqer together with strong conviction. If you’re ready to invest your time, energy, and talents into a startup environment, apply now!
