We are working with local brands such as Stumptown Coffee, Rook and Go Get Em Tiger, as well as many other restaurants across North America.

As we scale rapidly, we need a Staff Backend Engineer who can own technical challenges, rapidly identify and mitigate risks, and build foundational solutions that enable the broader team to execute efficiently.

  • Proactively identify technical risks in feature development before they impact delivery
  • Write production code for the most complex and critical parts of new features
  • Break down complex technical problems into manageable, well-defined tasks for other engineers
  • Use quantitative analysis and operational data to evaluate technical trade-offs and guide architectural choices
  • Remove technical blockers that prevent less experienced engineers from making progress
Who You Are
  • 10+ years of professional backend development with deep Java/Spring Boot expertise
  • Proven ability to rapidly prototype and validate complex technical solutions
  • Strong experience debugging and optimizing distributed systems in production environments
  • Bias toward experimentation and iterative validation over extensive upfront design
  • Track record of unblocking teams and removing technical impediments to delivery
  • Data-driven approach to technical decision making using metrics and performance analysis

Requirements
  • Expert-level Java/Spring Boot framework knowledge with production system experience
  • Proven experience with microservices, distributed systems, and cloud platforms
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Experience with high-traffic systems and performance optimization
  • Located and authorized to work in Canada

Benefits
  • Remote-first, hybrid environment with Downtown Vancouver office
  • Flexible hours with focus on contribution and outcome
  • Professional development support including training and conferences
  • Comprehensive benefits and stock option plan
Compensation Range

Base salary: $140,000 - $200,000 CAD

If you're passionate about solving complex technical problems, building solutions that enable team success, and making data-driven decisions that balance learning with scale, we want to hear from you!
