Remote Software Architect Jobs in Alberta (NOW HIRING)

About the Role
The Senior Software Engineer is a hands-on technical contributor embedded in our agile development organization, helping build and deliver our next-gen compliance platform. You bring the judgment and independence to take features from design through production-ready code, making sound technical decisions along the way and building software that fits cleanly into the team's architecture.

You bring strong full-stack experience, anticipate future needs, mentor peers, and make decisions that minimize the cost of future change. You partner closely with your Product Manager and fellow engineers to turn product strategy into well-built, maintainable software.

What Your Ride Will Look Like

• Write production-ready, well-tested, self-documenting code, and debug systematically across the areas you work in, using monitoring and observability data to guide stability and performance improvements.
• Architect, write, and review reusable, testable, and efficient code following Clean Code / SOLID principles, and raise the bar on code quality, maintainability, and performance in the code you touch.
• Understand your team's architecture deeply, design new code to align with it, and apply a security lens to your own work and to peer reviews.
• Design and implement low-latency, high-availability, performant applications across the full stack.
• Contribute to front-end (Vue/Vuex) and back-end (.NET) development, helping establish and follow patterns and standards.
• Own SQL query performance for the code you write and contribute to database design decisions.
• Apply microservice and micro front-end architecture best practices.
• Identify and pay down technical debt pragmatically, knowing when to refactor, when to rewrite, and when to leave well enough alone.
• Share in DevOps responsibilities and champion observability tooling and practices.

• Break your work into well-understood, properly prioritized pieces, and handle risk and ambiguity responsibly, including under pressure and shifting priorities.
• Make realistic but ambitious commitments, deliver on them, and communicate blockers or cost overruns early, weighing cost and value in your own work and in your suggestions to others.
• Help refine requirements and ensure you have the context to make good day-to-day decisions without constant escalation.
• Participate in agile (Scrum/Kanban) ceremonies and help make them effective.

• Communicate with clarity to both technical and non-technical audiences, making the complex understandable and trade-offs explicit.
• Give and seek feedback proactively, and foster documentation and knowledge-sharing, including in structured async and remote-first workflows.
• Help teammates overcome blockers, build strong relationships across the organization, and mentor others with openness and empathy.
• Foster a culture of respectful disagreement, accountability, and continuous improvement to your team's practices.
• Collaborate across multiple time zones, ensuring remote teammates are included, unblocked, and aligned.

• Partner with your Product Manager and teammates to help scope and sequence your work, balancing customer needs against technical realities.
• Surface engineering constraints, risks, and opportunities early on the work you're involved in.
• Advocate for investment in platform health, developer experience, and quality alongside feature work.
• Understand your team's domain, strategy, and business model, connect it to broader market trends and the organization's engineering strategy, and contribute to design decisions.

• Several years of professional full-stack software engineering experience, with a clear philosophy on how to improve a codebase over time.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with comfort in documentation, structured async workflows, technical writing, and remote-first practices.
• Demonstrated ability to take ownership of your work, deliver in fast-paced and ambiguous environments without loss of quality, and mentor peers.
• Experience partnering with product management to deliver business outcomes.
• Experience working across multiple time zones in a remote or hybrid environment.
