About the role
- As we grow, we're looking for our first Senior Software Engineer to join our team and work closely with our CTO.
- Our standards for technical output are high, and we place just as much value on your interpersonal and human qualities.
- If you're proactive, rigorous, and bring intellectual flexibility to your iterations in order to achieve better concrete results, we're the team for you.
Responsibilities
- Own, design, and improve the services and features of our backend systems, with a focus on scalability, maintainability, and performance.
- Deliver end-to-end full-stack features: product discovery, scoping, implementation, and deployment.
- Promote and champion "AI-native" development best practices, building patterns and abstractions that enable fast iteration with tools like Claude Code.
- able to deliver strong results amid ambiguity, review and mentor other engineers, and set the standard for quality and output.
- Strong computer science and engineering fundamentals. A solid command of algorithms, data structures, and systems design.
Requirements
- Someone with at least 6 years of relevant industry experience
- A university degree (at minimum a bachelor's) in Computer Science, Engineering, or Mathematics from a reputable university in Canada or the United States.
- Expert-level proficiency in TypeScript, Node.js, React.js, and React Native.
- To succeed at Fincentify, our future Senior Software Engineer must be a critical thinker who can break down a problem with as much skill as they bring to building the best possible solution.
Nice to have
- Experience designing and operating systems where correctness and reliability are critical (payments, trading, risk management, or other high-stakes domains).
- Direct feedback: we value and expect clear, candid communication among all team members.
- A small, focused team made up of high performers.
Skills
- A demonstrated ability to leverage AI development tools to accelerate delivery while maintaining code quality and architectural integrity.
- Excellence in designing clean, testable, and well-documented code that serves as an effective context for AI assistants.
- able to clearly discuss trade-offs with both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Nice to have
- Outcome-driven: engineers are accountable for results and real impact, not lines of code, time spent, or effort exerted.
- Velocity and discipline: high throughput, but never at the expense of correctness or reliability.
- Data over ego: debates are won through evidence and reasoning, not titles or emotions.
