Job description

About Nakisa
 
Nakisa is a global leader in AI-powered enterprise software for Human Resources, Financial Management, and Commercial Real Estate (CRE). Our cloud platform powers mission-critical operations for 1,100+ organizations in 135 countries and serves millions of users.
 
We are building the next wave of enterprise applications with Nakisa AI. Our products use retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with secure API integrations to large language models. Customer data stays private and auditable, and we never use client data to train third-party models. This privacy-first design gives enterprises trustworthy AI they can run in production.
 
What sets us apart is a single platform that connects these functions on shared data models, a focus on high-stakes, compliance-heavy workflows, and a culture anchored in Fairness, Integrity, Service, and Humility. Recognized among Canada's top employers, we offer hybrid work, supportive leaders, and clear growth paths. Join us to ship reliable, privacy-first AI at global scale.
 

About the role 

As a Software Developer at Nakisa, you will design, build, and maintain scalable, cloud-native applications used by Fortune 1000 companies around the world. Working within an Agile team, you will contribute to the full software lifecycle — from architecture and design through implementation, testing, and deployment — helping evolve our product portfolio to meet the highest standards of performance, reliability, and security. You will collaborate closely with Product, QA, and DevOps as part of our continued shift toward NoOps-driven, cloud-native delivery. 

What you'll be doing 

  • Design, develop, and maintain backend services and their corresponding frontend components. 
  • Design and optimize APIs, database schemas, and system architectures. 
  • Write clean, well-tested, and maintainable code that follows established best practices and design patterns. 
  • Collaborate with Product, QA, and DevOps teams to deliver high-quality software on schedule. 
  • Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and technical decision-making. 
  • Take ownership of assigned components, ensuring their performance, scalability, and reliability, and support related production issues. 
  • Work within an Agile, Test-Driven Development (TDD) environment, contributing to sprint planning and continuous improvement. 
  • Use AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT/Codex) to improve development speed and code quality. 
  • Continuously explore and help introduce new technologies, tools, and best practices across the team. 

What you bring 

  • A genuine passion for software development — you enjoy the craft, take pride in your code, and are always looking for a better way to build something. 
  • A strong drive to learn: you're eager to pick up our stack (Java, Spring Boot, Vue.js, and beyond) and quickly become fluent in new tools, frameworks, and technologies. 
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience, with a solid foundation in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and common design patterns. 
  • Curiosity about full stack development — comfortable moving between backend (Java, Spring Boot, RESTful APIs) and frontend (Vue.js, Angular, or React) work, and excited to deepen that range. 
  • A self-starter mindset: you take ownership of problems, ask good questions, and are comfortable working both independently and as part of an Agile team. 
  • Strong problem-solving instincts and a genuine enjoyment of technical challenges. 
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the openness to give and receive feedback in code reviews and design discussions. 
  • Comfort thriving in a fast-paced, evolving environment where priorities and technologies shift. 

Nice-to-haves 

  • Experience with Java 17+ and building scalable applications using microservice architecture. 
  • Proficiency with DevOps and containerization tools such as Docker, Kubernetes, and Jenkins. 
  • Knowledge of cloud computing environments (AWS, Azure) and CI/CD pipelines. 
  • Familiarity with front-end build tools (Webpack, Babel) and state management libraries (Vuex, Pinia, or similar). 
  • Experience with data engineering tools such as Apache Kafka, Apache Airflow, Elasticsearch, or Apache Flink. 
  • Experience with data visualization libraries such as D3.js, Plotly, or ECharts. 
  • Understanding of the HR or Financial domain space. 
  • Proficiency in French and English is an asset for collaboration across our Quebec-based and global teams. 

What's in it for you? 

  • Work on cutting-edge, cloud-native applications as part of a dynamic and forward-thinking team. 
  • Be part of a company that values continuous learning, innovation, and professional growth.
