Staff Software Engineer – Collaborative Web Platform

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Canada.

📋 Description

• In this role as a Staff Engineer, you will serve as both a technical leader and a hands-on creator.

• Your responsibilities will span the entire stack — from the APIs and real-time synchronization services that drive the platform's backend, to the visual editing interfaces and component systems that content teams use daily.

• You will closely collaborate with product and design teams to shape the system architecture, make decisions on build versus buy, establish engineering standards, and guide a small, focused team toward significant milestones.

• Develop backend services that enable collaborative editing, conflict resolution, and content delivery, ensuring reliable operation at scale within a distributed cloud infrastructure.

• Create frontend systems that facilitate visual, real-time editing experiences, including page builders and publishing workflows.

⛳️ Requirements

• Over 10 years of comprehensive software engineering experience, with a proven history of ownership throughout the entire product lifecycle.

• Authentic full-stack expertise — you have successfully launched production systems on both the backend (APIs, data services, cloud infrastructure) and frontend (interactive UIs, component systems, browser performance).

• Familiarity with real-time or collaborative systems, including content editing, multiplayer applications, event-driven architectures, or live data synchronization.

• Proficient in cloud-native technologies: comfortable designing and managing services in GCP, AWS, Cloudflare, or Azure, with experience in containerization and contemporary deployment pipelines.

• Strong API design skills: you possess well-defined views on REST, GraphQL, and event-driven interfaces, and you know when to utilize each appropriately.

• Expertise in frontend architecture: you comprehend component modeling, state management, rendering performance, and the browser platform at a level that exceeds mere framework knowledge.

• A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.

🏝️ Benefits

• Competitive compensation and equity plan within the industry

• Paid Time Off (PTO), Paid Sick Leave (PSL), and 11 Paid Company Holidays

• Comprehensive medical coverage (Extended health care, dental, vision)

• High-quality equipment provided

• On-site workspace located in Vancouver, BC, Canada

• Monthly allowance dedicated to wellness, reading, and access to LinkedIn Learning for ongoing development

• Team-oriented and company-wide events and activities that inspire, educate, and foster a sense of community
