Montreal, Canada Shakepay Full time

At Shakepay, we’re on a mission to usher in the Bitcoin golden age. We’re reimagining financial services to give every Canadian their fair shake.

Our culture is built around doing work that matters, winning as a team, and celebrating success. If you're the kind of person who values growth, shipping fast, and sharing your ideas openly with a group of like-minded people, come and build with us

About Shakepay

Since 2015, we’ve been building the Shakepay app to make buying and earning bitcoin fast, easy, and secure. In 2022, we launched the Shakepay Card, allowing shakers to earn bitcoin rewards when they shop. Today, more than one million Canadians use Shakepay to grow their bitcoin savings and take control of their financial future.

We’re regulated across all Canadian provinces and territories, and backed by renowned venture capitalists with a funding of $44M. We have a passionate, loyal, and growing community, and we’re looking for people who want to help us build something truly special.

Senior Platform Engineer

Imagine shaking your phone to instantly earn bitcoin. Our customers might think it’s magic, but if you’re reading this you probably know that it’s not (or is it?). It’s not. It’s our stellar dev team that makes it happen. That shaking idea started as a secret easter-egg for our fledgling customer base, and once word got out about it, we suddenly had to deal with service outages from too many people shaking at the same time.

Of course we’ve since solved that problem, and now with over 1,000,000 shakers (aka “customers''), it’s a core part of our identity—not the shaking, but the idea that we came up with something new and exciting in the slow and boring world of financial services. We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help us reimagine how Canadians build wealth and think about what they can do with their money. Unique ideas and the knowledge and determination to make them a reality: that’s the real magic.

What you’ll be doing
  • Optimize code delivery to ensure that every engineer is delivering their best work
  • Develop deployment processes and tools to ensure our software gets to customers safely and efficiently
  • Streamline the engineering onboarding process via automation, highlighting learning opportunities and an introduction to delivery
  • Create tooling and processes to help developers avoid outages
  • Build/deploy/maintain security controls, instrumentation, and detection infrastructure
  • Troubleshoot and resolve performance issues to ensure optimal system performance
  • Measure key delivery metrics and respond to any major disruptions of service
  • Participate in the on-call rotation and help keeping it sustainable
Who we’re looking for
  • 5+ years experience as a DevOps/SRE/Cloud engineer role
  • Experience using Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS in production and continuous build environments
  • Experience monitoring high availability environments using tools such as DataDog
  • Experience with customizing development tools
  • Extensive knowledge of engineering processes, structural design, and system optimization
  • Experience working with a highly collaborative team
  • Experience with incident management
  • Driven by business impact
Bonus points
  • Experience with technologies like Kubernetes, Kafka, DataDog, AWS cloud/SRE suite (Aurora, EKS, VPC, Lambdas, CloudFormation, etc.), postgres, Terraform, ArgoCD, Helm, Node.js
  • Experience building fintech infrastructure
  • Some bitcoin knowledge, and the urge to learn more
  • A folder of SafeForWork reaction memes
Why join
  • Help shape the future of money: Be part of a team that's revolutionizing financial services in Canada, one sat at a time.
  • Impact millions: As cryptocurrency continues to gain traction, our potential for growth is massive. You can help us bring Shakepay and Bitcoin to all Canadians.
  • Grow your career: We’re growing, and so can you We have programs in place to encourage continuous learning, growth, and development.

  • Remote-friendly: Work from anywhere in Canada, with optional access to our office spaces in Montreal and Toronto.
  • Learning and development: A $2,000 annual budget for courses, certifications, and training to support your career growth.

  • Parental leave: Enjoy a parental leave top up to 100% of your salary for 18 weeks.
  • Home office setup: A MacBook, a $1,200 budget for home office improvements, and a monthly stipend for home and internet expenses.
  • Salary in bitcoin option: Choose to receive your salary in bitcoin – the soundest money to ever exist.
  • Team and company offsites: Whether team-specific or company-wide, these events offer a great chance to connect and collaborate in person.

We understand that potential can be just as valuable as experience. If you're eager to learn, grow, and contribute to the mission but worry that you may not have the “right” experience, we still want you to apply.

We encourage applications from everyone, regardless of background and life experience. We’re firm believers that a little bit of slope makes up for a lot of y-intercept.

Fluency in English is required due to the percentage of English-speaking customers and the nature of our platform, which is available to all Canadians.
