Who We Are

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be continually involved in shaping the direction of the technologies we use and how we use them. As someone who is familiar with the ever-changing universe of the web, you'll have the freedom to choose your own tools for development. This freedom is encouraged through a relaxed view on coding that allows for individual expression - where everyone has a voice and every opinion is valued.

Our team believes in a thoughtful and well-planned development cycle. We iterate, refactor, and rewrite - in other words, no throwing code over the fence. You'll have ownership of the experiences you create, continually improving them and eventually providing production support.

You would be joining as a member of a small but growing team, helping shape a culture that empowers the team to make great technical decisions, drive strategic choices, actively improve processes, and mentor others.

This role follows a hybrid schedule, with in-office work required on Wednesdays and Thursdays from our Toronto office to support collaboration, and flexibility to work remotely for the remainder of the week.

What You'll Do

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Home Services team, you'll have the opportunity to work full stack across both our backend and frontend systems.

You'll be responsible for the services that power our Smart Security and Air Filter subscriptions, providing homeowners peace of mind that they are improving the efficiency and security of their home. You'll also support our SmartBuildings product, which enables simple, scalable thermostat management for multi-family and commercial buildings, as well as platform services that help HVAC Pro Contractors proactively support homeowners with their HVAC needs.

In this role, you'll also have the opportunity to continually modernize and enhance the platform, ensuring maintainability and scalability. Your contributions will have a significant impact on our company and objectives.
