About the role

Motion's products increasingly rely on data-intensive APIs.
Beyond our reporting platform, MCP server, and public endpoints, these APIs now power per-customer environments where AI systems can execute tasks, access customer-specific state, and proactively run analysis.
Today, that means Azure VMs running Dockerized workloads and a growing layer of application code which needs to cover everything from functionality to routine updates.

Motion uses artificial intelligence (AI) to support administrative and efficiency-focused aspects of our recruitment process.
What you'd be doing 🛠️ Build and evolve the systems that provision, update, secure, and observe Motion's agent environments.
Design abstractions around queues, locks, background tasks, and service bus mechanics so product engineers can build on reliable primitives.

Our ideal fit brings ✨ 6+ years of experience as a software engineer, with meaningful time spent going deep into infrastructure.
TypeScript / Node.js is ideal, but we care more about strong engineering judgment and the ability to learn our stack quickly Deep, hands-on cloud experience.
Hands-on experience with containers and runtime environments.
experience with Kubernetes, Nomad, ECS, Docker Swarm, or similar orchestration systems is helpful but not required.
You can ship the simple thing when speed matters, while flagging that which needs to evolve later.
You enjoy being a strong individual contributor and a supportive teammate.

Our bet isn't that AI replaces great marketers.
When leading brands want to understand their creative performance, they turn to us.
Our founders have built successful companies before, including alongside several of the people now at Motion.

We offer competitive compensation, including equity for all employees, health benefits from day one, a monthly health & lifestyle stipend to support your well-being, 20 days of PTO, and a $1,500 work-from-home stipend.

We're a remote-first company with team members spanning Canada, the U.S., and beyond, but also have office spaces in 4 main hubs (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Porto) for optional hybrid work.
As an early team member, your contributions will directly shape the product, team, and the future of the company.
If you're excited about building, you'll thrive here!
Outside of the option to go to one of our offices, our team gets together in-person for a week every two months, and we have a company retreat every summer.
We closed out 2024 with a $30M Series B raise and strong signals from our customers.
In 2025, we built the foundational capabilities our customers rely on, setting the stage for what's to come.
In 2026, with fresh funding ($65M+ total capital raised), we're building forward from that foundation, taking what we learned to market in a deeply AI-native way. 🌎
Remote-first with hybrid flexibility: We're a remote-first company with team members spanning Canada, the U.S., and beyond, but also have office spaces in 4 main hubs (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Porto) for optional hybrid work.
we're looking to hire someone based in Canada, the United States, or Europe but are open to exceptional candidates in other locations.
