Job description

Why should you consider joining Auvik?

• You want to work at a company that is building impactful, relevant technology. Auvik's network management software helps IT teams by automating time-consuming tasks, streamlining operations, and mitigating risk. It's more important than ever to be able to remotely monitor and manage network infrastructure, and with Auvik, IT professionals have that essential visibility and control.
• You want to work with a leadership team who are transparent and trustworthy. Our senior leaders have a vision for Auvik. They are experienced, knowledgeable, approachable, and consistently working hard to drive success, both for the company and the team of people who make it happen.
• You want to work with a product customers love. People rave about what we've built. Our customers are smart, aspirational, and highly technical. It pays to get the details right.
• You want regular opportunities for learning and growth. With ongoing feedback from leadership, you'll find that Auvik encourages you to be your very best. Our onboarding process is thorough and informative because we want to make sure you're prepared to have a great work experience. We also have programs designed to help you take the next steps you want for your career.
• You want the flexibility to manage your work, your way. We're a fully distributed team and we're prepared to continue to support working from home (or the space you choose!). We trust you to get the job done where you feel most comfortable and effective.

What's the job about?

As a Staff Software Developer at Auvik, you'll lead through technical excellence. You'll dive deep into our systems, tackle the hardest technical problems, and deliver production-quality solutions that improve our products and platform at scale. While your influence may extend across teams through shared tooling, mentorship, or technical guidance, your day-to-day focus will be deeply embedded in a development team — designing, coding, debugging, and shipping high-quality software alongside your teammates.

This role is ideal for a developer who wants to stay close to the codebase while still having wide-reaching technical influence and driving high-impact outcomes.

What will I be doing?

You’ll focus on:

• Own complex technical challenges and architect scalable, performant solutions.
• Writing clean, maintainable code — and lots of it — in languages like Go, Scala, or TypeScript (React/GraphQL).
• Diagnosing and resolving complex production - digging across systems to find root causes and deliver lasting fixes that restore customer trust.
• Working closely with product managers, designers, and engineers to build features that provide real value to our customers.
• Leading by example in code reviews, mentoring other developers, and championing best practices in development and testing.
• Proactively identifying and implementing technical improvements across our codebase, systems, and developer workflows.
• Collaborating across teams to ensure consistency in implementation, performance, and user experience.
• Helping unblock others by sharing context, reviewing designs, and contributing reusable tools, libraries, or frameworks.

What are we looking for?

• A hands‑on engineer who loves solving tough problems through code and building systems that scale.
• A deep technical contributor with a strong grasp of system design, clean coding practices, and debugging complex issues.
• A team player who thrives in collaborative environments and can communicate ideas effectively across functions.
• A mentor who lifts others by pairing, sharing insights, and providing thoughtful feedback in reviews.
• A proactive self‑starter who can independently lead projects from start to finish, always looking for ways to improve.
• Familiarity with tools and practices for logging, tracing, metrics collection, and alerting (e.g., OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Datadog, etc.).
• You’ve tackled performance bottlenecks or scalability challenges in high‑traffic systems.
• You’ve built tooling or frameworks that boosted developer velocity.
• You’ve contributed to open‑source projects or enjoy staying sharp with side projects.

Our Stack

• Frontend: React (TypeScript), GraphQL
• Backend: Go, Scala
• Infrastructure & Data: Kafka, Kubernetes, AWS (… and more, depending on your area of focus)

We're actively hiring for this role and looking to bring someone great onto the team as soon as possible.

Our platform automates network discovery, mapping, monitoring, configuration backups, traffic analysis and alerting, so IT professionals and MSPs can manage complex, multi‑site environments with ease.

We're focused on building a diverse and inclusive workforce. If you're excited about this role, but do not meet 100% of the qualifications listed above, we encourage you to apply. We are happy to make any accommodations you may need throughout the interview process as well.

Auvik is an Equal Opportunity Employer and considers applicants for employment without regard to race, colour, religion, sex, orientation, national origin, age, disability, genetics or any other basis forbidden under federal, provincial, or local law.

Hiring Process

At Auvik, our hiring process is designed to be personal, transparent, and human‑led.

We use AI tools to support administrative tasks in the hiring process; such as helping source candidates, drafting communications, and interview summaries, so our team can stay focused and present during conversations. We do not use AI tools to interview, screen or assess candidates; or determine who moves forward in the process. We debrief and consider the full context of every conversation before making hiring decisions. We believe hiring requires judgment that can be augmented but, not replaced by AI.
