Software Engineer I - VANCOUVER, CANADA (HYBRID)

We are seeking a Software Engineer I to join our Data Foundation team. This is an opportunity to launch your career in cloud and data engineering, working alongside experienced engineers who will mentor you as you develop your skills. You will contribute to building data pipelines and platform features while learning the practices and technologies that power enterprise-scale data platforms. 

In this influential role, you will 

Learn and Contribute 

Work on well-defined tasks and projects that build your foundational skills in cloud and data engineering. Implement features and fixes under the guidance of senior engineers, learning to write clean, testable code that meets team standards. As you grow, you will take on increasingly complex work with greater independence. 

Build Technical Foundations 

Develop proficiency in our technology stack including AWS, data processing frameworks, and modern development tools. Learn how distributed systems work at scale and how to build software that is reliable, maintainable, and performant. Senior engineers will provide mentorship and code review to accelerate your growth. 

Collaborate and Communicate 

Work closely with your teammates, asking questions and seeking feedback to accelerate your learning. Participate in team meetings, code reviews, and technical discussions. Communicate clearly about your progress, blockers, and what you're learning. 

Develop Production Awareness 

Learn our "You Build It, You Run It" culture by participating in on-call rotations with support from experienced team members. Develop understanding of how production systems operate, how incidents are handled, and how monitoring and alerting help maintain platform reliability. 

Who We Are Looking For 

You are early in your career and eager to grow as an engineer. You have foundational programming skills and genuine curiosity about cloud infrastructure and data systems. You learn quickly, ask good questions, and take feedback well. You take pride in your work and want to build things that matter. 

You don't need to have all the answers — you need to be motivated to find them. You're looking for an environment where you can learn from experienced engineers, contribute meaningfully from day one, and build toward a long-term career in data engineering. 

Required Qualifications 

• 1-2 years of professional software development experience, or recent graduate with strong internship or co-op experience.

• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS preferred) through coursework, personal projects, or prior experience.  

• Strong communication skills and ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.  

• Curiosity and eagerness to learn — a growth mindset is essential.  

• Willingness to participate in on-call rotations and learn production operations practices. 
• Expected Salary: 80,000 -97,000 CAD

Preferred Qualifications 

These skills are not required on day one, but they are highly valued: 

• Exposure to data processing concepts or frameworks (Spark, Glue, ETL pipelines). 

• Familiarity with Docker and containerization concepts. 

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines or automated testing. 

• Personal projects or coursework involving cloud services or data engineering. 

• Interest in Generative AI and experience using AI-powered coding assistants for learning and productivity.
