The role at high level:

We're looking for a talented Senior Software Development Engineer who enjoys tackling hard problems and wants to create meaningful impact for small businesses across Canada. You'll play a critical role in designing scalable systems, delivering reliable services, and contributing to architectural decisions across the full stack. You will report directly to our Engineering Manager.

What you'll be expected to own:

• Deliver end-to-end full stack development for features that meet scalability, maintainability, and performance expectations
• Architect, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure using best practices in IaC and DevOps tooling
• Monitor service reliability, performance, and availability against SLA standards
• Design component-level architecture and ensure alignment with system-wide goals and standards

What you bring to the table:

• 5+ years of experience in full-stack development (React/Angular, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, C#,.NET Core)
• Strong experience in scalable API design, microservices, and server-side architecture
• Proven ability to deploy and manage infrastructure on platforms like AWS, Azure, or GCP using Terraform or CloudFormation
• Solid understanding of CI/CD, containerization (Docker), and orchestration tools (Kubernetes)
• A passion for writing clean, testable code and delivering maintainable systems
• Familiarity with service observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, ELK, Grafana)
• Strong interpersonal skills to collaborate cross-functionally and mentor others

Bonus points if:

• You leverage AI-driven tools within your development process to enhance efficiency and accelerate high-quality feature delivery
• You understand Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and apply it in complex business environments
• You're proactive about suggesting new technologies or tools to solve business problems
• You've contributed to high-level architectural design conversations and helped guide technical strategy

What we bring to the table:

• Impact: Dig in and directly contribute to Wagepoint's growth and success.
• Culture: Work alongside a team that genuinely enjoys solving problems together, celebrates wins, supports one another through challenges, and still finds time for the occasional terrible joke.
• Growth: We believe learning is part of the job. We're committed to helping you Get Better Every Day (a representation of our Stay Curious and Kind value!) by offering professional development, new experiences, and career growth as we continue to evolve.
• Innovation: Curiosity and experimentation encouraged! Bring ideas, challenge assumptions, responsibly utilize AI, and help shape better ways of working.
• Remote: Work from wherever you do your best work. Wagepoint has always been remote-first, giving you flexibility, autonomy, and hopefully a little extra time with the people (and pets) you love.
