Role Description We’re hiring two Software Developers to join the Casper team: one Intermediate and one Senior. You’ll work on a product with over a decade of production history: stable, widely used, revenue-critical, and actively evolving. As George (Development Manager) puts it, “This isn’t a product you work on from the edges. You’re working on the system itself.” This is not a greenfield role. It’s also not maintenance-only. Some parts of the system are well-established; others need modernization, clearer patterns, stronger testing, and thoughtful technical stewardship. You’ll help keep an important product healthy while building the next capabilities that make Casper more valuable, resilient, and ready for what comes next. What you’ll work on: - Upgrade, stability, and reliability work. - Move Casper onto supported versions of key technologies. - Contribute to how Casper evolves in response to changing market needs. - Score evolution: Rethinking how Casper scores are calculated, processed, and presented. - Test integrity in an AI world: Designing how Casper detects, deters, and responds to policy violations. - Making the product more understandable and defensible. - Supporting more complex program structures. Qualifications - Experience in JavaScript or TypeScript in production. - Comfortable navigating different patterns and approaches. - Experience with backend-heavy work. - Familiarity with testing and quality as part of the system. - Experience using AI tools in day-to-day workflow. Requirements - Shared responsibility for supporting live test sessions (1–2 sessions per month). - Availability for sessions typically scheduled between 6–10 PM Eastern. - Occasional overnight sessions (1–5 AM Eastern) for international sessions. - May occasionally include weekends. Benefits - Transparent compensation: Senior roles between $145,000 and $155,000 CAD; Intermediate roles range from $120,000 to $142,000 CAD. - A $3,000 annual learning budget. - Access to employee stock options. - Fully remote within Canada, with up to six weeks per year to work internationally. - Self-directed vacation (most teammates take 4–6 weeks annually). - Health benefits from day one for you and your dependents. - A 2% GRSP matching program. - A 16-week parental leave top-up beyond EI. Company Description Acuity Insights builds products that help higher education institutions make better decisions about people, from admissions through to development. Our Casper situational judgment test (SJT) has been completed by over 1 million applicants and is one of the most widely used open-response SJTs in higher education.
