Job Description
Staff Backend Software Engineer
Hopper
• Identify and execute improvements to the codebase that make it easier for both humans and AI agents to move fast and ship safely. • Work with a group of senior engineers in a low-process environment powered by trust and autonomy. • Drive decisions and consensus asynchronously with thoughtful documentation and specs. • Own features end-to-end — from the backend systems to the partner-facing surface. • Architect scalable solutions and foundational patterns that let us efficiently launch new partner experiences. • Work directly with PMs and business partners to define and refine our roadmap.
Job Requirements
- A natural drive to fearlessly dive into an unknown codebase and deliver results fast.
- Strong product thinking — your conception of quality and architecture is anchored in the customer experience, not in technical elegance for its own sake.
- The ability to direct AI agents and automated workflows to build and maintain complex systems, and the judgment to know when to step in and when to let them run.
- Experience designing the guardrails and feedback loops that keep AI-assisted development productive and reliable.
- Experience with, or a mastery-level willingness to learn, distributed system development in Scala.
- The ability to articulate not just how you'd solve a problem, but why, and what tradeoffs you're accepting.
Benefits
- Hopper covers 100% of the premiums for group insurance plan.
- Hopper offers life, short term and long term disability coverage.
- HSA that covers eligible medical and dental expenses.
- All employees and dependents have access to Dialogue’s telemedicine services, anytime, anywhere.
- All employees have access to an RRSP plan with automatic pre-tax withdrawals per pay.
- Very generous parental leave, much above industry standards!
- Unlimited PTO.
- Carrot Cash travel stipend.
- Access to co-working space on demand through FlexDesk AND Work-from-home stipend.
- Entrepreneurial culture where pushing limits and taking risks is everyday business.
- Open communication with management and company leadership.
- Small, dynamic teams = massive impact.
