Remote Graduate Software Engineer Jobs in British Columbia

Software Engineer, New Grad - Full Stack (Remote)

Are you a recent graduate or up to 1 year into your career, ready to ship features end-to-end at a small product team that invests in your growth? We're a small Canadian product team building docuflow, our SAP content-integration platform, and we're hiring a Junior Software Engineer for full-stack feature ownership.

You'd work on features that span our Java backend (Vert.x, message queues, AWS, SAP) and the React + Material-UI admin GUI. You'll be paired with a senior or intermediate engineer on the harder pieces and own smaller features end-to-end yourself. The team is small enough that you'll know everyone's name, you'll get real mentorship without the corporate ladder, and decisions get made in days, not quarters.

Location: This is a remote position; however, we are only looking for candidates who are already based in British Columbia.

How We Work:

• Kanban with continuous delivery. No sprint theater, no story-point poker, no two-week ceremonies. Pick up the next thing and ship it.
• No leetcode interviews. We hire on real code conversations and review walk-throughs. We care how you think, not whether you memorised tree-traversal questions. Think Design Pattern trade-offs.
• No on-call rotation.
• Output over hours, not face-time. Real PTO. Startup pace, not startup grind.
• Small team, direct ownership. You won't spend half your week in stakeholder meetings or write design docs that die in a queue.
• AI-augmented engineering. Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and similar assistants are part of the daily workflow for code generation, review, refactoring, and test scaffolding. The human reviewer stays responsible for what gets merged; AI-generated tests get the same scrutiny as any other code.
• Documented engineering standards. Written PR guidelines, review checklists, and coverage gates enforced in CI. We expect you to push them forward.

Tech You'll Work With:

• Backend: Modern Java, Eclipse Vert.x reactive core, Apache Ignite for distributed cache and clustering, Apache ActiveMQ Artemis for messaging, PostgreSQL with Hibernate.
• Cloud + SAP: AWS SDK v2 (SQS, S3, EventBridge); SAP Cloud SDK with Apache Olingo (OData v2/v4), JCo (BAPI / RFC), and ArchiveLink.
• Frontend: React with Material-UI for the admin GUI.
• Daily tooling: Claude Code and GitHub Copilot. Depth over breadth, we'd rather you've shipped something hard than collected acronyms.

WhatYou'llDo:

• Build features under the guidance of senior engineers (REST APIs, message-queue workers, AWS integrations, and the React + Material-UI admin pages that go with them) with the tests to back them up.
• Fix bugs and improve test coverage as you learn the codebase. Real tickets, real customer impact, not toy starter tasks.
• Refactor and clean up code as you spot opportunities, with senior review and feedback to sharpen your judgement.
• Get exposure to the full stack (backend services, frontend forms and dialogs, message queues, cloud integrations) and find the areas you want to go deep on.
• Write the documentation alongside the code, not after. We treat docs as part of the deliverable.
• Pair regularly, ask questions liberally, and bring your own perspective to code reviews. Junior engineers spot things senior engineers don't.

WhoYou'llBe:

• A recent graduate, graduating soon, or up to 1 year into your career. Computer Science or Software Engineering degree preferred; strong self-taught candidates with bootcamp + portfolio or substantial personal projects also welcome.
• Solid fundamentals in Java or another strongly-typed language; some exposure to React or another modern front-end framework.
• Comfortable with version control, pull requests, code review, and writing tests, even if you're still figuring out what good test coverage looks like.
• Eager to learn distributed-systems concepts (queues, retries, idempotency, dead-letter queues). You don't need to know all of this yet, but you should be excited to.
• You use AI coding assistants daily and understand they're a tool to accelerate learning, not a substitute for understanding what your code actually does.
• You write small, reviewable pull requests and want to keep getting better at it.

Nice To Haves:

• A portfolio, GitHub profile, or open-source contributions you can walk us through.
• Co-op terms, internships, or hackathon experience at any tech company.
• Computer Science or Software Engineering degree preferred (equivalent experience considered).
• Exposure to enterprise content platforms (Box, SharePoint, S3, FileNet, OpenText) or SAP at any level (even academic).
• Comfort with reactive / non-blocking JVM frameworks (Vert.x, Spring WebFlux) or async patterns in any language.
• Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, or GitHub Actions CI/CD.

Perks:

• Salary: CAD $50,000 - 55,000 base, depending on experience
• Quarterly bonus tied to company performance
• 12-week growth cycles (4-5 per year) with biweekly 1:1 coaching. Each cycle, you pick a growth area and your manager picks another; at the end we keep, decide, or rotate for continuous improvement.
• Comprehensive health and dental benefits
• RRSP program
• Home internet program
