Staff Full Stack Developer

We are looking for a highly skilled React developer who is comfortable with Next.js to join our Products & Technology team in Toronto. You will work directly with the product and design team to build and enhance core products used by our customers. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives on solving technical challenges and delivering high-quality code.

As a Staff Full Stack Developer, you will be a key contributor within a product team of 4-7 people. Your focus will be on execution—writing clean, maintainable, and efficient code, shipping features, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to drive impact. While mentorship is encouraged, this is not a leadership role; rather, we seek someone who delivers results and can navigate technical complexity with ease. Our teams work in an agile environment and developers are given autonomy in how they approach their work.

Who you are:

• You have a strong sense of ownership and take pride in delivering high-quality work
• You enjoy solving technical problems and writing clean, efficient, and maintainable code
• You are comfortable dealing with ambiguity and proactively seek out solutions
• You are a strong individual contributor who enjoys collaborating with designers, product owners, QA, and other engineers

Technologies we use:

• React / TypeScript
• Next.js (CSR, SSR, and SSG)
• Node.js / Nest.js for back-end services
• Jest unit testing (including snapshots)
• SQL databases (PostgreSQL, Oracle)
• Redux (thunks and sagas)
• Docker
• GCP / Azure

Some concepts you should be familiar with:

• Handling asynchronous data fetching and state updates effectively in React and Node.js
• ES6 paradigms and advanced JavaScript knowledge
• Understanding functional programming principles and their application in JavaScript/TypeScript
• React state management (thunk, saga, rxjs)
• Best practices for authorization and security
• Front-end layout techniques using flexbox and CSS grid
• Separating concerns of data, logic, and rendering
• Effective collaboration with product and marketing teams to prioritize and iterate on solutions

To succeed in this role, you have:

• Undergraduate degree, equivalent, or years of proven development experience
• Minimum of 7-10 years of professional software development experience
• Strong expertise in React and JavaScript/TypeScript
• Experience working with RESTful APIs and back-end integration
• A track record of solving challenging technical problems and seeing them to completion
• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to collaborate effectively
• Familiarity with Java/Spring Boot and relational databases (PostgreSQL, Oracle) is a plus

We believe that time together in the office is important for OMERS and Oxford, the strength of our employees, and the work we do for our pension members. In delivering on our pension promise, keeping us connected to our work and each other, our flexible hybrid work guideline requires teams to come into the office at least 1+ days per week.

As one of Canada’s largest defined benefit pension plans, our people-first culture is at its best when our workforce reflects the communities where we live and work — and the members we proudly serve.

From hire to retire, we are an equal opportunity employer committed to an inclusive, barrier-free recruitment and selection process that extends all the way through your employee experience.
