We’re looking for our next Senior Software Engineer - Architecture & Product. Could It Be You?

The ideal candidate for this position is experienced in designing and developing high performing and scalable applications that deliver business value. This position will be involved in small to large scale projects through all stages of the software development life cycle from requirements gathering to implementation. This person will collaborate with the user interface and experience teams, other back-end and front-end developers and architects to deliver great applications.

This is a high-impact role for a developer who thinks like a Product Owner. You won’t just be coding; you’ll be ensuring that our technical evolution translates into a faster, more reliable experience for our customers

• 3–5 years of hands-on experience with .NET and C# — comfortable building and maintaining REST APIs in a production environment
• Solid understanding of software design principles — we use patterns like CQRS, DDD, and event-driven architecture across our services. Doesn't need to be an expert but should be able to pick these up quickly
• Experience working with NoSQL databases — we use MongoDB in parts of our stack
• Some exposure to frontend or component-based UI development — we run a micro frontend architecture. Angular or TypeScript experience is a plus but not essential
• Comfortable writing unit and integration tests — we're building our test culture and this engineer will be part of shaping it
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and GitLab — or equivalent tooling
• Understanding of observability and monitoring — we use DataDog and expect engineers to care about what their services are doing in production

So are YOU our next Senior Software Engineer - Architecture & Product? You are if you…

• Comfortable taking end-to-end ownership of a domain — this isn't a ticket-execution role. The engineer owns their area of the system including incidents, code reviews, and technical decisions
• AI-fluent development: Daily, hands-on use of AI coding tools (e.g., Copilot, Cursor, Claude) and comfort integrating LLMs into development workflows.
• Works well in an agile sprint-based environment — we do sprint planning, backlog grooming, and retrospectives. The engineer should have a voice in what gets prioritised, not just what gets built
• Can give and receive honest code reviews — not just approving to be polite, but engaging with the code meaningfully
• Communicates proactively — flags blockers early, asks for help when needed, doesn't go quiet when something is taking longer than expected
• Collaborative but self-directed — doesn't need daily direction to know what to work on
• Open to learning a new domain — financial services and mortgage servicing is complex. Curiosity and willingness to understand the business context matters as much as technical skill

Compensation Information:

• Base salary range: $95,000 - $125,000
• The final compensation package will be commensurate with the successful candidate's experience, skills, and geographic location (Canada). It includes a comprehensive benefits plan and a competitive incentive (bonus) program for Full-Time Permanent roles.
