Contract Infrastructure Software Engineer Jobs in Calgary, AB

About the Role

You own the full development cycle for the features and systems your team assigns you. At Landmark, that means working on software that oil and gas operators depend on for high-stakes decisions. You take a feature from specification through design, implementation, testing, and delivery with minimal supervision and enough judgment to make good technical decisions along the way. You contribute to code reviews, improve the codebase and processes around you without waiting to be asked, and help junior engineers grow. The quality of what you build shows up in production software used by operators worldwide.

Strong software engineering fundamentals are the primary requirement. Domain knowledge is valuable but can develop on the job.

You will build software for the following domain:

• Geoscience — geology, geophysics, or petrophysics

Technologies used vary by team and include:

• Languages such as Java, C#, C++, Python, and TypeScript
• Frameworks, platforms, and runtimes such as .NET, Angular, React, and Node.js
• Cloud platforms including Azure and AWS
• Containerization and orchestration tooling such as Docker and Kubernetes
• Infrastructure automation tools such as Terraform, Ansible, Helm, and Argo CD/Flux

Relational and NoSQL databases such as PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, and MongoDB

Job Duties

• Own features end to end: analyze requirements, design solutions, write the code, test it, and ship it
• Break complex specifications into concrete tasks with realistic schedules and flag risks early
• Proactively identify and fix weaknesses in the codebase, the test coverage, and the development process
• Investigate and resolve production defects, and trace root cause when symptom and source are not in the same place
• Apply secure coding practices, surface vulnerabilities in code reviews, and fix security issues as they arise
• Review code from other engineers with the same rigor you expect on your own work
• Evaluate and integrate open-source tools and libraries where they improve the systems you work on
• Mentor junior engineers through code reviews, pairing, and direct technical guidance
• Communicate clearly across a distributed, cross-timezone team

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent experience
• 5–10 years of software development experience
• Strong proficiency in at least one of: Java, C++, Python, or TypeScript (React/Angular)
• Experience owning the full development cycle: requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing, and delivery
• Experience debugging production software and tracing root causes that span multiple components or layers
• Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to explain technical decisions and trade-offs to teammates and stakeholders
• Experience using AI development tools in an effective and productive fashion
• Experience developing agentic workflows in enterprise software
• Experience with cloud-native development including direct exposure to APIs, containerization, Kubernetes
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines

Preferred

• Background in enterprise software, SaaS platforms, or technically demanding application domains (scientific computing, real-time systems, large-scale data)
• Experience mentoring less experienced engineers

Energy industry experience is not required but is a strong plus. We welcome candidates from all backgrounds and encourage you to apply even if your experience does not match every item in the preferred list.

Candidates having qualifications that exceed the minimum job requirements will receive consideration for higher level roles given (1) their experience, (2) additional job requirements, and/or (3) business needs.  Depending on education, experience, and skill level, a variety of job opportunities might be available, Principal Software Development, and Technical Advisor Software Development.

How You Work

The engineer who succeeds in this role brings independent judgment to their work and applies it consistently. You own your assignments end to end, communicate clearly when something is off track, and treat code reviews as a genuine quality tool rather than a formality. You are comfortable working across time zones, adaptable when requirements shift, and focused on delivery outcomes rather than task completion. You pick up new tools and techniques on your own, evaluate them critically, and bring the ones that work to your team. You help the engineers around you improve because you understand that team quality compounds over time.

Why Landmark

We build small, high-ownership teams and invest in the quality of every person on them. You will work in a business where software is the product, the work you do matters, and the standards are high. You will own real work that ships, learn from engineers who push you, and grow into the kind of engineer the team relies on.

We offer competitive compensation, a strong career path, and a role where you own what you build, and your impact is visible.
