Job description

// About Providius

Providius has been at the forefront of innovation in the Media & Entertainment industry for over a decade, delivering solutions to complex challenges in IP media and IT infrastructure within mission-critical environments.

Headquartered in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, we are a privately held company focused on building practical, reliable systems that solve real-world problems.

// Position Overview

We’re looking for a software engineer to join our development team. You’ll work across our platform, from backend services to user interfaces, helping build systems that need to be reliable, scalable, and performant.

This role is ideal for someone with strong fundamentals, a collaborative mindset, and a desire to continuously learn. You’ll contribute to production systems, participate in architectural decisions, and grow alongside a team that values practical, well-engineered solutions.

// Duties and Responsibilities
  • Design, build, and ship features end-to-end, from concept through deployment
  • Work across the stack as needed—backend services, APIs, frontend interfaces, and supporting infrastructure
  • Develop and maintain testing strategies, including unit tests, integration tests, and test tooling (e.g., mocks, simulation environments)
  • Collaborate with teammates to break down problems, define requirements, and iterate on solutions
  • Contribute to improving development workflows, tooling, and overall engineering practices
  • Debug and resolve issues across the system, including production environments when needed
  • Continuously build domain knowledge in media and networking systems to inform better engineering decisions
  • Ability to take ownership of features and see them through to completion

The balance of this work will vary depending on the project and your strengths, but ownership and follow-through are consistent expectations

Requirements

// Tech Stack
  • Backend: Java (Spring Boot), Python, Some components in C and C++
  • Frontend: TypeScript, Angular
  • Data: PostgreSQL, TimescaleDB
  • Infrastructure: Linux (Ubuntu)
  • Tools: JIRA, Bitbucket
// Required Skills / Experience
  • 2–5 years of experience building and shipping software in a professional environment
  • Strong fundamentals in computer science and software engineering
  • Ability to take ambiguous problems and turn them into working, maintainable solutions
  • Comfortable working across different parts of a system (backend, frontend, testing, or infrastructure)
  • Experience writing clean, testable, and maintainable code
  • Solid understanding of relational databases (PostgreSQL or similar)
  • Strong debugging and problem-solving skills
  • Effective communication and collaboration in a team environment
// Nice to haves
  • API design and backend best practices
  • Experience with microservices or distributed systems
  • High-availability and performance optimization
  • Test-driven development and automated testing
  • Familiarity with networking concepts (a strong plus in our domain)
// Why join Providius
  • Work on systems that operate in real-time, high-stakes environments
  • Small team with high ownership and direct impact
  • Opportunity to grow into architecture and technical leadership
