This role is all about designing and implementing clean, scalable systems that other engineering teams rely on. This is a hybrid role downtown Toronto.
You’ll be hands-on with architecture, code, and mentorship—helping shape the direction of our platform while keeping the codebase scalable. If you enjoy solving complex problems, writing solid Python, and building systems that other devs love to use, this one’s for you.

- Continuously improve performance, reliability, and scalability of our systems.
- Collaborate with product, frontend, and other backend teams to deliver end-to-end solutions.
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years of backend development experience.
- Strong Python skills—Django, FastAPI, and writing clean code.
- Solid understanding of backend fundamentals : APIs, databases, system design.
- Experience designing and optimizing relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred).
- Familiar with testing best practices – can comfortable write unit tests.
- Strong leadership and communication skills—you know how to guide a team and explain complex ideas clearly.
- Comfortable debugging issues and finding root causes quickly and efficiently.
