Developer jobs in Canada

OpsLevel is the leading internal developer portal designed to help engineering teams build, ship, and maintain software better than ever. We believe that developer portals are a critical part of a great developer experience. With customers like Duolingo, Okta, Keller Williams, and Hootsuite, we know that the best businesses in the world prioritize a great developer experience in order to beat the competition.

We're a fully-remote team of folks who care deeply about the daily lives of developers, with team members across North America. OpsLevelers live our company values on a daily basis and when we’re not heads-down on a project or collaborating in real‑time over Zoom, we're competing in trivia over lunch or sharing the latest fur baby photo in #pets-to-make-you-live-longer.

Our culture and values are very important and ground us in how we interact as one team:

• Growth Mindset - Get comfortable with being uncomfortable
• Focus & Efficiency - Keep the main thing the main thing, and get it done
• Empathy - Think of others; think of your users
• Intellectual Honesty - The best solution is more important than anyone’s ego
• Simplicity

We believe in boring technology because it’s well tested and simple. Our current stack is:

• Ruby on Rails (our main application’s backend)
• Vue.js (our app’s UI)
• GraphQL (how the UI and the backend talk to each other; also used by customers as part of our platform)
• MySQL (gotta store those bits somewhere)
• Redis (some bits gotta be stored faster)
• Terraform (config as code, because any other way is painful)
• Kubernetes (we use AWS EKS)
• Golang (for various operational tools and our open source offerings)
• AWS / GCP
• Docker
• DataDog
• Git

• Work with product, UX, and fellow developers to gain a deep understanding of customer problems and lead development of features to solve those problems
• Hold a high bar of personal technical excellence, demonstrated through high quality, thoroughly tested, and exemplary code contributions and reviews
• Contribute to our culture of “you build it, you own it” by listening to your spidey sense and identifying tech debt or other opportunities to improve our technical architecture
• Lead technical explorations and create PoC prototypes to discover then build the best solution
• Execute projects in a timely manner, helping the team communicate when they are on or off track to meet goals
• Leverage your years of experience by being a mentor and investing in the growth and success of those around you
• Participate in our on‑call schedule, where you may be required to troubleshoot across our core technical stack (Ruby on Rails, VueJS, GraphQL, and MySQL)
• Leverage AI tooling to accelerate development, improve code quality, and enhance OpsLevel’s feature set.

• 3‑5 years of professional software development experience
• Strong proficiency in full‑stack development with modern web technologies
• Familiarity with modern AI coding assistants and prompt engineering
• Solid understanding of databases, APIs, and distributed systems
• Track record of shipping production code and delivering features end‑to‑end
• An empathetic, pragmatic, and collaborative approach to problem solving. Done is better than perfect.
• A strong growth mindset. You’re comfortable learning new things quickly. Unknowns are new frontiers waiting to be discovered
• Experience designing architectures with strong interface boundaries and separation of concerns. Your craft is deeply rooted in SOLID design principles

• Experience with modern cloud technologies such as AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform
• An understanding of job systems for Ruby on Rails such as Sidekiq
• A deep understanding of MySQL
• Have experience in scaling a web application to thousands of users and millions of events

• You can empathize with companies that run 100’s of applications or microservices

• Fast‑paced execution: You thrive in dynamic environments and can move quickly while maintaining quality
• AI‑enhanced productivity: You actively use AI tools to level up your development workflow and are excited about leveraging AI to ship faster
• Product‑minded: You think about the end user and the business impact of what you’re building

Not much! A working web camera, microphone, and (ideally) a quiet place with minimal background noise.
