Old Toronto, Canada #paid Full time

About Us

#paid is a creator marketing platform that sits at the intersection of brand and creator collaboration. We help direct-to-consumer and Fortune 500 brands like Infiniti, TJX, Unilever, and Sephora, activate creators to drive growth.

We are building the platform of record that powers content creation and distribution for brands globally. The better we do that, the better we can serve our creator community and provide them with the best place on earth to do what they love—create.

About You

You are an experienced software developer, who has worked as part of small to medium-sized teams and participated in planning, designing, and shipping small-to-medium scale applications.

You are a team player and contributor to technology decisions and architecture and can balance day-to-day workload, with an eye for future improvements of your team and their work.

You will be working as part of a group of developers, product managers, and designers who help each other solve problems across all functions. You will employ best practices in development, security, accessibility, and design to achieve the highest quality of service for our customers.

We use a range of technologies to get the job done: JavaScript and Node.js coupled with OpenAPI, React, Next.js, storybook and other libraries to provide a modern, easy-to-use Javascript toolchain. A RESTful API back-end powers our platform services.

Day to Day
  • Write production-ready code that is performance optimized, easily testable and understood by other developers, and accounts for edge cases and errors
  • Reporting directly to the Engineering Manager, work together on and own your personal growth and objectives
  • Work with Product Managers and Software Developers to collaboratively  define the roadmap for features and tools
  • Clearly communicate with the team through our productivity tools (Slack, Notion and GitHub)
  • Champion documentation and knowledge sharing
  • Contribute to the design of scalable software platforms with performance and security in mind
  • Analyze and troubleshoot production issues in a timely fashion
  • Assist Junior developers with their assigned responsibilities when required
  • Contribute to documentation, functional specifications, design documents and architecture diagrams
Minimum Qualifications
  • Proven history of excelling in a team-based, collaborative environment
  • Proven Experience designing and documenting APIs (we use Node.js, Fastify, OpenAPI Spec)
  • Senior-level knowledge of back-end development (we use Node.js)
  • Senior-level knowledge of database engines (we use PostgreSQL, Redis)
  • Proven Experience in building scalable production services and monitoring performance (we use GCP Monitoring Tools)
  • Experience reviewing code and giving constructive feedback to peers
  • You live and work within 3 Hours of Eastern Standard Time
Nice to Have
  • Experience designing and load-testing highly available systems
  • Experience with Next.js, Remix or using React without a framework
  • Experience with the Docker ecosystem
Interview process
  • Qualified candidates will be invited to 4 virtual interviews across 2 days.
  • Hiring Manager Interview (45 mins). We want to learn more about your experience and interests at this stage. You will also learn about the engineering team and decide if #paid is the right fit for you.
  • Meet the team (60 mins). You will meet Product, Design and Engineering team members to learn how you collaborate across these disciplines. You will also have an opportunity to ask about our team structure and culture.
  • Project Deep Dive (60 mins). You will meet the engineering team and talk in-depth about a past project or codebase you loved (or hated). Come prepared to talk about technical topics (architecture, trade-offs and tools) and non-technical details (team structure, project planning, lessons learned and overall business impact). You are welcome to present slides or a codebase, but remember that this interview is a conversation, not a presentation.
  • Executive Interview (30 mins). Intended to cover your skills in collaboration and communication, as well as to provide a final opportunity for you to ask any lingering questions about the company strategy.
  • Note: this is an outline of interviewing at #paid. The interview process may vary depending on your experience.
Get to know the role
  • In order to foster skill growth and guide team members to improve themselves and others, we document a set of core skills & competencies that each team member need to have or achieve in order to be effective
  • Take a look at our README on Github
  • Read our blog: Banknotes
  • Listen to our Podcast
