Senior Software Engineer

About the role

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be continually involved in shaping the direction of the technologies we use and how we use them. As someone who is familiar with the ever-changing universe of the web, you'll have the freedom to choose your own tools for development. This freedom is encouraged through a relaxed view on coding that allows for individual expression - where everyone has a voice and every opinion is valued. Our team believes in a thoughtful and well-planned development cycle. We iterate, refactor, and rewrite - in other words, no throwing code over the fence. You'll have ownership of the experiences you create, continually improving them and eventually providing production support. You would be joining as a member of a small but growing team, helping shape a culture that empowers the team to make great technical decisions, drive strategic choices, actively improve processes, and mentor others. This role follows a hybrid schedule, with in-office work required on Wednesdays and Thursdays from our Toronto office to support collaboration, and flexibility to work remotely for the remainder of the week.

Responsibilities

• As a Senior Software Engineer on the Home Services team, you'll have the opportunity to work full stack across both our backend and frontend systems.
• In this role, you'll also have the opportunity to continually modernize and enhance the platform, ensuring maintainability and scalability. Your contributions will have a significant impact on our company and objectives.
• Just so you know: Our hired candidate will be required to provide consent to complete a criminal background check
• Technologies We Use
• You are not required to have experience with all of these technologies upfront (bonus if you do), but we're sharing them to give you a sense of our technical landscape:
• Golang
• JavaScript / TypeScript
• Nest.js / Next.js
• Google Cloud Platform (Cloud Tasks, PubSub, CloudSQL, etc.)
• Docker / Kubernetes
• Terraform
• Apollo Client for GraphQL
• Jest / @testing-library

Requirements

• You like to continuously challenge yourself by finding new and better ways to solve complex problems.
• You don't mind learning new technologies if it means getting to a solution faster.
• You enjoy tackling challenges involving scale, concurrency, management of massive data sets, security, redundancy, failover, and other complexities common to a successful IoT company.
• You have experience implementing and debugging microservices, working with SQL databases and BigQuery, and leveraging Google Cloud Platform tooling and services.
• You are skilled in Kubernetes, Docker containers, and the deployment, management, and observability of microservices.
• We use a mix of TypeScript/JavaScript and Golang, so you're comfortable choosing the right tool f
