Overview

Event Temple is seeking a full-time Staff Software Engineer to lead our integrations engineering efforts and drive our third-party API ecosystem strategy. This is a remote role open to candidates based in Canada.

We are a high-energy, fast-paced environment, aiming to transform the hospitality market across hotels, conference centers, wedding venues, restaurants, and more. We are laser-focused on winning as a team.

Our mission is to create the future of sales and catering to become the dominant player in our industry with 10,000 hotels and venues. Event Temple is a high-growth technology company based in Vancouver, British Columbia. The software behind the scenes empowers the teams running events globally.

What you are

You are passionate about integration engineering and building robust, scalable connections between systems. You are an expert in designing and implementing third-party API integrations at scale, with a deep experience in integration architecture patterns such as event-driven systems, webhooks, and real-time data synchronization. You excel at managing technical relationships with integration partners and vendor APIs, and you are skilled in observability and monitoring for distributed systems to ensure reliability and performance.

What will you do?

As a Staff Engineer specializing in integration architecture, you will be the technical leader for our integration ecosystem, designing and scaling connections with hospitality partners, email systems, payment processors, and industry platforms. You can expect to:

• Design and implement high-performance integrations with third-party APIs, including PMS systems, payment gateways, and hospitality platforms.
• Lead integration architecture decisions for the growing ecosystem.
• Build and maintain observability frameworks to monitor integration health, API performance, and data consistency.
• Collaborate with integration partners on technical requirements, API specifications, and scaling strategies.
• Establish best practices for integration stability, error handling, and graceful degradation.
• Mentor engineers on integration patterns, API design, and distributed systems architecture.
• Drive technical discussions with partner engineering teams and help manage integration roadmaps.

What skills are required

We are looking for someone who has:

• 5+ years of experience building and scaling third-party API integrations in production environments.
• Expert knowledge of Ruby with focus on API development and integration patterns.
• Proven experience designing integration architecture for high-volume, multi-tenant systems.
• Strong background in observability tools and practices (monitoring, logging, tracing, alerting).
• Experience managing technical relationships with integration partners and external APIs.
• Deep understanding of distributed systems, event-driven architecture, and data consistency patterns.
• The following are nice-to-have bonus experiences: Experience with hospitality industry APIs (PMS, booking engines, payment processors), background in partner technical enablement and developer relations, experience with Sidekiq, Redis, and background job scaling for integration processing, experience with integration platforms and ETL/data pipeline tools, knowledge of API gateway patterns and rate limiting strategies.

What type of person joins us?

You thrive on solving complex integration challenges and building reliable connections between diverse systems. You are passionate about creating seamless data flows and exceptional partner experiences. You value system reliability and take pride in building integrations that "just work". You are self-motivated, resilient, and quick to adapt to new obstacles, and you want a place where your ideas matter and impact significantly. You value freedom and want to play on a winning team with others who feel the same way, contributing to a future with more events, travel and experiences.

Benefits

Friendly co-workers. Competitive compensation. Work from Home / Remote friendly. Compensation: CAD $140,000 to $170,000+ per year, depending on experience.
