Wagepoint

Who we are:
At Wagepoint, we're good people. It's easy to feel that way when you're surrounded by folks doing the best work of their careers, building great payroll software for small businesses across Canada.
Our team brings together diverse backgrounds, perspectives, experiences, and ideas to make payroll the easiest part of running a business.
We're remote-first, growing, and looking for passionate people who don't settle for the first solution or the way it's been done before. We care deeply about our customers and each other, and understand that when it comes to payroll, getting it right matters.
Our values guide how we work and what we expect from one another:
Cultivate Impact
by focusing on what matters most and delivering meaningful outcomes for our customers.
Unify as One Team
by collaborating openly, communicating clearly, and rallying around shared goals.
Stay Curious and Kind
by challenging assumptions, learning quickly, and leading with empathy.
If you want to build the future of payroll in a place where your ideas are welcomed and your contributions matter, look no further!
The role at high level:
We're looking for a talented
Staff Software Development Engineer
who enjoys tackling hard problems and wants to create meaningful impact for small businesses across Canada. You will be a senior technical leader driving the design and delivery of complex, reliable, scalable, and maintainable software solutions while mentoring and empowering others. You will report directly to our
Engineering Manager.
What you'll be expected to own:
Lead the complete development lifecycle for new features — from design to deployment — ensuring code quality, maintainability, and performance across the full stack.
Strong experience in distributed systems, Domain Driven Design, and microservices architecture, performance tuning, and system reliability.
Set up, deploy, and manage scalable cloud infrastructure to support application functionality and growth, with automation wherever possible.
Ensure service performance aligns with SLA requirements through proactive monitoring and incident response.
Lead high-level and component-level architecture discussions, documenting designs, and ensuring alignment with business and technical goals.
Collaborate with Product, DevOps, and Architecture teams to align development with strategic objectives.
Mentor junior engineers on development best practices, cloud infrastructure, and emerging tools.
Research, recommend, and advocate for AI-driven development tools and automation solutions to enhance productivity.
Influence technology strategy and drive innovative practices that improve scalability, reliability, and team efficiency.
What you bring to the table:
7+ years of experience in software engineering, including full-stack development and cloud infrastructure.
Proven leadership in designing and scaling complex software systems and mentoring engineering teams.
Advanced skills in frameworks like React or Angular, C#/.Net Core, scalable API design, and relational/NoSQL databases.
Strong experience in architectural design, performance tuning, and system reliability.
Deep understanding of clean coding standards, design patterns, and CI/CD pipelines.
Proficiency with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), IaC tools (Terraform/CloudFormation), Kubernetes, and Docker.
Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
A mindset focused on continuous learning, growth, and sharing knowledge.
Bonus points if:
You have experience with AI/ML integration in software systems.
You have a track record of proposing and implementing innovative technology strategies that improved scalability and productivity.
What we bring to the table:
Impact : Dig in and directly contribute to Wagepoint’s growth and success.
Culture : Work alongside a team that genuinely enjoys solving problems together, celebrates wins, supports one another through challenges, and still finds time for the occasional terrible joke.
Growth : We believe learning is part of the job. We’re committed to helping you Get Better Every Day (a representation of our Stay Curious and Kind value!) by offering professional development, new experiences, and career growth as we continue to evolve.
Innovation : Curiosity and experimentation encouraged! Bring ideas, challenge assumptions, responsibly utilize AI, and help shape better ways of working.
Remote : Work from wherever you do your best work. Wagepoint has always been remote-first, giving you flexibility, autonomy, and hopefully a little extra time with the people (and pets) you love.
Psssst!
