Role Description Perch helps Canadians make smarter mortgage decisions. We're building a new engineering team focused on growing how people discover and engage with Perch, and you'd be one of its first members. The team will also contribute to the core platform that powers the experience. You will deliver work independently, contribute to investigations within larger initiatives, and take on more ownership over time. Seniors and Leads will be there to support you as you grow. You will be working with technologies such as Angular, TypeScript, Node.js/Express, and PostgreSQL, running on AWS. Rapid prototyping in different technologies is a regular part of the work. You will also be expected to use tools like Cursor and Copilot as part of your workflow, and to experiment with what makes you most effective. Responsibilities - Deliver features independently across Angular front-end applications and Node.js/Express APIs, writing clean and maintainable TypeScript. - Own small goals within broader initiatives, and contribute to unknowns and investigations with Senior oversight. - Build responsive, accessible UI using Angular and modern component patterns. - Work with PostgreSQL, including writing queries, migrations, and data models. - Estimate your own work with Senior review, and flag unknowns when you hit them. - Write and maintain unit and integration tests. - Help with rapid prototyping efforts, using AI tools and picking up new technologies as needed. - Over time, start anticipating risks on your own and reducing your reliance on review. Qualifications - 4+ years professional experience in full stack development, with a track record of delivering scoped tasks on your own. - Solid grasp of TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. - Experience building web applications with Angular or a similar modern front-end framework. - Experience building or working with RESTful APIs in Node.js/Express or something comparable. - Comfortable with relational databases, especially PostgreSQL. - Comfortable with Git and pull request workflows. - Some exposure to cloud platforms, especially AWS. - Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing. - Self-directed and effective in a remote environment. Requirements - Experience working on growth or acquisition-focused product teams. - Experience with monorepo tooling and modern build systems. - Some exposure to Python and Flask. - Interest in fintech, real estate, or the mortgage industry. Benefits - Fully remote, flexible hours. - You'd be one of the first members of a new team, with real influence over how it takes shape. - Mentorship from Senior and Lead engineers who are invested in your growth. - Perch has a defined engineering career ladder with transparent salary bands, so your path forward is clear. - The work matters: you're helping Canadians navigate one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives.
