Backend Engineer

Since 2003, the firm has grown through acquisitions of independent advisory practices. Regulatory oversight is constant, and the compliance department is one of the largest in the company. Founded in 2003, we now have 1,600 employees. Quarter-end is busy, and everyone helps with client review prep.

Job summary

We are adding a Backend Engineer to our Partner Integrations team. You'll work mostly on server-side code: services, queues, databases and the glue between them. Little to no frontend work. We are headquartered in Montreal and have been hiring remotely since 2020. We hire in India through an employer of record, so this is a regular full-time job with local payroll and statutory benefits. Core hours are 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM US Eastern. A stable internet connection and a backup power option are required.
