  • Experience working in UNIX/Linux environments and familiarity with PostgreSQL.
  • Proven ability to lead teams in an agile, fast-paced environment, with a strong focus on collaboration and stakeholder management.
  • A track record of delivering complex projects with a focus on scalability, reliability, and security.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.

  • Reports To: Chief Technology Officer

Why join us:

  • Access to stock options and a comprehensive benefits plan
  • A remote-first team with company paid, in-person socials and the option to work from our Toronto-based office
  • Resources to help your professional development, including an L&D budget, performance reviews twice a year and ongoing feedback to ensure you reach your highest potential
