Staff Software Engineer

About us:

Sellers use the platform to list used outdoor gear, and we handle payments, shipping labels and buyer protection. Niagara Digital runs an online marketplace where homeowners book local handymen, cleaners and movers.

The role:

We are adding a Staff Software Engineer to our Billing team. This is a hands-on coding role on software used by a few hundred thousand people. Expect code review, design discussions and a fair amount of debugging. Remote position. Most of the team is in Toronto, but nobody is required to come in. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short. Communication happens mostly in Slack and short video calls.

Day to day:

• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic.
• Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk.
• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana.
• Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners.
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.

What we're looking for:

• 8-10 years of professional software development experience.
• Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript.
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers.
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line.
• BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure.

Perks and benefits:

• Extended health and dental benefits.
• RRSP matching.
• Three weeks paid vacation to start.
• Flexible hours.

Send us your resume. No cover letter needed.

Start: Immediately.
