We’re working with over 200 B2B customers, ranging from large enterprises like Snowflake and Intel to fast-growing startups like Glean and Vanta.We are a Series A startup, funded by top-tier investors, including Threshold VC, Craft Ventures, Intel Capital, and Y Combinator.

Role Overview

We’re looking for Staff Software Engineers to design and scale the systems that drive our developer and enterprise-facing products. As a Staff Software Engineer, you’ll operate as a technical leader with broad ownership across systems, teams, and product areas - shaping architecture, raising engineering standards, and driving impact beyond individual feature delivery.

This role is based in Vancouver, Canada. We use a hybrid work model of 4 days in the Downtown office per week.

In this role, you'll:

• Lead architecture and technical direction for core platform infrastructure and customer-facing product UI, ensuring scalability, reliability, and long-term maintainability.
• Own and deliver complex, cross-functional initiatives end-to-end, from problem definition and system design through implementation, deployment, and iteration.
• Act as a technical multiplier, setting engineering standards, mentoring engineers, and raising the overall quality, velocity, and technical judgment of the team.
• Partner closely with Product, Design, and Customer-facing teams to translate business and customer needs into robust technical solutions, including direct customer collaboration when needed.
• Drive platform excellence, improving system performance, reliability, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud infrastructure as the company scales.

We're seeking someone with experience including:

• 6+ years of hands-on experience with production programming in at least one of the following languages: Python, Go, Typescript, Java or C++.
• Deep understanding of distributed systems, REST APIs & SQL.
• Proven architectural leadership, including designing scalable systems, making sound technical tradeoffs, and balancing near-term delivery with long-term platform health.
• Experience with Terraform, Github CI/CD, Docker and Kubernetes is a great bonus, but not required.
• Experience working on cloud platforms stack (AWS, Azure or GCP) is a plus.
• Ownership mindset and communication strength, comfortable operating in ambiguity, collaborating cross-functionally, and clearly explaining complex technical decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or related field

Why Join Us

• Salary: $150,000 - $200,000 CAD/year.
• Work alongside a top-notch team with experience at companies like Google, Meta, Salesforce, Pave, Motive, and Square.
• Own a major pillar of our go-to-market strategy from day one - with the autonomy to build what you think is right.
• Competitive compensation and equity plan.
• Full healthcare benefits - extended health care, dental, vision, and life insurance.
• Monthly office stipends for lunch and commute-related benefits.
• Fast-moving, flat org structure with real product-market fit and big ambitions.
