About the Role

As a Senior Software Engineer at Canix, you will join an exceptional team of engineers working up and down the stack, and collaborate with our cross-functional team including product management and design. We're looking for customer-obsessed, product-focused engineers who have operated in a fast paced, quality-focused startup environment and are comfortable regularly shipping reliable and highly impactful projects and features. In this role, you'll take ownership of complex technical initiatives and help mentor other engineers on the team.

Who You Are

• Impact driven - consistently delivering value through your code and engineering ability
• Adaptable - able to jump into multiple layers of the stack and operate well bringing clarity to ambiguity
• Efficient - regularly evaluating the paths of least lift to achieve project goals
• Quality focused - consistently delivering bug-free code that meets product quality and design quality bars
• People centric - regularly taking the time to get to know our customers and step into their shoes when building including in person meetings and on-sites to get to know our team and customers
• Empathetic - always understanding others' points of view and working to bring together all involved for a positive, productive outcome
• Leadership minded - as a senior engineer at Canix, you will directly impact the company and engineering team in fundamental ways including helping drive engineering values, culture, and practices, while mentoring other engineers

What You'll Do

• Lead the delivery of beautiful and impactful UIs to help our customers accomplish their work as effectively as possible
• Architect and build modular, reusable back-end functionality and data models to power our core features
• Design integrations with complex 3rd-party APIs to transfer data to and from our backend with a high degree of accuracy and maintainability
• Collaborate with passionate, talented team members including product managers, designers, customer support, and sales
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical decision-making processes
• Drive technical design discussions and code reviews to maintain high engineering standards

How We Work

We utilize a collaborative development cycle where engineers are involved in early brainstorming conversations with product and design, drive technical breakdown from completed product specs, estimate the tasks involved in completing the project, collaboratively set timelines from those estimates, own and drive implementing the features in the agreed timeline, deliver work that passes the agreed acceptance criteria, release and monitor the project work, and learn from the observed results to incorporate in the next iteration of the project.

We choose technology to find the right balance of productivity, robustness, performance, and maintainability. We like to move fast and be proud of our work.

Our current stack includes:

• ReactJS and TypeScript for our web app front-end
• Cypress for E2E tests
• GraphQL as our API language
• Ruby on Rails for our back-end monolith
• Minitest for back-end tests
• PostgreSQL for data persistence
• Sidekiq for background jobs
