• 5+ years of backend engineering experience, with hands-on proficiency in Golang or similar languages • Deep experience with event-driven and async architectures — Kafka, NATS, or comparable systems • Background in platform or infrastructure engineering: you've built shared internal platforms, not just product features • Experience defining engineering standards at an org level — RFCs, ADRs, or architecture review processes • Strong DevOps sensibility: CI/CD, containerization, Kubernetes, cloud-native infrastructure • Experience managing or mentoring engineers, with a bias toward growing people through the work • Comfortable working with ambiguity and incomplete requirements • Familiarity with supporting & delivering frontend development and component/design systems — enough to govern a shared UI library • Experience in telecom, BSS/OSS, or similarly complex domain platforms • What We Value • AI-first mindset: you actively use AI tooling and advocate for it in your team's workflow • AI-first mindset • Architectural depth: you can zoom out to the system and zoom in to the implementation • Architectural depth • Low ego, high ownership: you'll write code and stay close to the work alongside your team • Low ego, high ownership • Build in the open: we use information as a bridge, not a moat — you share context broadly, write things down, and bring people along rather than gatekeeping • Build in the open • The base salary range for this position is $140,000 – $160,000 CAD for Canadian residents.
