Back End Developer

Staffing Lab represents a client that has asked us to assist in identifying a candidate for a Full Time Senior Back End Developer for an opening within their organization. The Senior Back End Developer will be responsible for analysis, design, development, deployment and operation of cloud software to protect life in motion. Salary range is 110-120k CAD, benefits, and 10% year end bonus. Candidates must have a travel visa. Even though travel is minimal there would be a couple trips to the US per year. My client is building systems that integrate IoT, real-time data and web/mobile apps and we’re doing it with a micro-service architecture to facilitate independent scrum teams. As a Senior Back End Developer, you’ll be working as part of a scrum team to build cloud micro-services that are resilient, fault-tolerant and performant, while working with other teams to determine how the features and functionality that you add can make our customers happy. In order to do that, you'll need to have technical depth; systems thinking; and the ability to work as part of distributed team. This is the ideal role for someone who wants to be part of a cutting-edge cloud development team. About You

• First and foremost, you love writing software. Your code is comprehensible, well-structured, highly performant; your best days at work are in front of the computer cranking out code on your own, although you have the experience to know that a winning product requires an entire team.
• You are curious and passionate about knowing “why”, whether it is why a use case is important for a customer, or why something strange happens one time in a hundred tries.
• You love both learning and teaching. In this role, you will be interfacing with design, front-end, back-end, platforms, analytics, as well as our PM and marketing teams; towards that end, you enjoy working across teams to solve hard problems.
• Agile development is second nature. Not only will you be expected to participate in daily scrums, sprint planning, and retros; you'll be expected to help improve our ceremonies.
• You strive for quality, and are obsessed with unit tests, automation, and squashing any bugs that sneak through. But it's more than that, you are expected to challenge the status quo and figure out how to make it better for everyone.
