Job Description

Staff Software Engineer

Purpose Unlimited

• Own architectural decisions that move latency, uptime, and client-facing quality metrics. • Define tools, workflows, standards for AI-generated code, and how productivity is measured. • Testing standards and observability practices that let the team ship weekly in a SOC 2 environment. • Shared abstractions, state management, platform tech debt, resolved without stalling delivery. • Mentorship, design feedback, and code review that raises the ceiling of what the team can do. • Pressure-test requirements before they become expensive commitments; advocate for technical quality as a driver of client experience. • Review, refine, and ensure production standards, interpret results and make the call, decide what to act on, and shape the thinking ensuring architectural coherence.

Job Requirements

  • Significant experience building consumer-facing software at scale, with architectural judgment from systems that serve real users under real load.
  • Full-stack depth – you move between frontend, backend, and infrastructure when the problem demands it.
  • Experience in a regulated industry (financial services, healthcare, or similar) – SOC 2 or ISO 27001 compliance as part of engineering quality, not friction.
  • Track record of leading technical decisions: writing RFCs, driving alignment, knowing when to push for consensus vs. make the call.
  • Fluency with AI-assisted development tools (Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) and a formed perspective on how they change team dynamics.
  • Experience governing AI-generated code quality in production – you’ve thought about when AI output is good enough and when human craft is required.
  • Experience mentoring senior engineers; your leverage at this level is as much about team capability as your own code.
  • You think in systems – understanding how technical decisions ripple through product quality and end-user experience.
  • Degree in CS/Software Engineering or equivalent practical depth.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation including equity program.
  • Comprehensive group health and dental benefits and life insurance at little to no cost to you.
  • Lifestyle Spending Account for all your wellness needs.
  • Flexible paid time-off policy with unlimited vacation days, and flexible sick and mental health days.
  • Paid parental leave for eligible employees with a top-up.
  • Generous Group RRSP matching and an optional TFSA program.
  • Training opportunities and tuition support year-round.
