We're growing rapidly, earning industry recognition, and scaling with purpose. We’ve been recognized by Deloitte’s Fast 50™ and Fast 500™, Business Intelligence Group, and as one of Ottawa’s Best Places to Work. And we’re just getting started!

We’re looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer to join our Device Management team—a core group responsible for building performant, scalable, and user-friendly solutions at the heart of Solink’s cloud platform.

In this role, you’ll be a key contributor to systems that interact with thousands of IoT devices in the field. You’ll work across the full stack—building APIs in Rust, crafting polished interfaces with React, and architecting cloud-native systems that scale globally.

This is a hands-on position suited for an experienced developer who thrives on solving complex challenges and has a passion for high-performance backend services. You’ll work with a modern stack—Rust, Node.js, React, and AWS Serverless—and collaborate closely with designers, architects, and fellow engineers to bring new features to life and scale them across a rapidly growing user base.

As a senior member of the team, you’ll help shape architectural direction, influence implementation best practices, and mentor peers as Solink continues to grow.

• Lead the end-to-end delivery of features across the full stack, with a focus on IoT device configuration, monitoring, and deployment tools.

• Design, build, and maintain scalable RESTful APIs and cloud services using Rust, TypeScript, and Node.js in a serverless AWS environment (Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, Kinesis).

• Develop responsive, modern UIs with React and TypeScript, collaborating with frontend engineers to deliver seamless, user-centric experiences.

• Contribute to system architecture, database schema design, and performance optimization across the stack.

• Participate in and help lead design sessions, code reviews, RFCs, and cross-functional planning with product, QA, and other engineers.

• Mentor junior and intermediate developers, fostering technical growth and knowledge sharing.

• Support monitoring, alerting, and troubleshooting to ensure system reliability and resolve production issues—including those involving device connectivity.

• Help shape the technical strategy, infrastructure, and long-term scalability of our platform.

Must-Have:

• 6+ years of experience building cloud-first products, with strong proficiency in both front-end and back-end development.

• Skilled in React and TypeScript, with hands-on experience designing and delivering user-facing features.

• Experienced with back-end development using Node.js and/or Rust, with a solid understanding of API design, system performance, and scalability.

• Familiar with serverless AWS infrastructure (Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS) and comfortable working with Infrastructure as Code tools like CDK, Terraform, or Serverless Framework.

• Strong systems thinker with experience designing distributed, resilient, and high-performance services.

• A collaborative communicator who contributes thoughtfully in cross-functional teams, code reviews, and architectural discussions.

• Curious, self-directed, and motivated to learn, mentor others, and challenge assumptions to improve the product and user experience.

Nice-to-Have:

• A good eye for UX or design

• Experience with IoT device communication

• Familiarity with video technologies, including playback, recording, or configuration workflows.

• Experienced in database design and optimization—not just implementation

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, production monitoring tools, and observability practices.

• Background in DevOps, cloud cost optimization, or infrastructure performance tuning.

• Experience with Snowflake, Elasticsearch, or other cloud-native data platforms.

• Previous exposure to event-driven architectures (e.g., via Kinesis, Kafka, or similar) and real-time data processing.

• Contributions to open-source Rust projects or strong Rust side-projects.

• Prior experience working in fast-growing SaaS environments

• Candidates must undergo a criminal records check upon hire;

• Be a Canadian Citizen (dual citizens included), or eligible to work in Canada;

• Be willing to comply with Solink’s own security policies and standards.

• Mandatory Onboarding visit in Ottawa/ Toronto during first week of employment

• Mandatory onsite visits periodically (quarterly basis)
