Software Development Engineer

Who We Are:

At Wagepoint, we’re good people. Sure, maybe we’re biased. But that’s only because Wage pointers bring the best versions of ourselves to do some of the best work in our careers.

We’re an authentic team who bring our diverse backgrounds, ideas, experiences and cultures together to make payroll magic. Speaking of, we “pull rabbits out of hats” for thousands of small business owners across Canada who rely on our payroll software to pay their employees and process their payroll taxes. And we’re just getting started.

We’re growing and looking for more awesome people to join our merry band of misfits. We are looking for people who share our understanding that when it comes to our commitment to our customers: we mean business. Especially given that the consequences of getting payroll wrong can sometimes be dire.

If you are the kind of person who has always wanted to make a difference and be heard at work, Wagepoint will give you plenty of opportunity to do just that.

“Great code doesn’t just solve problems—it anticipates them.”

We’re looking for a talented Software Development Engineer (intermediate) who doesn’t shy away from tackling hard problems and interesting subjects like payroll and HR technology. As a Software Development Engineer, you’ll contribute to the design, development, testing, and maintenance of features across the stack. This role is ideal for a growth-oriented engineer looking to deepen their technical expertise while contributing to high-quality, scalable software.

You’ll be supported in learning infrastructure best practices, participating in code reviews, and starting to mentor peers as you grow your impact. You will report directly to our Engineering Manager.

• Ship real features: Take end-to-end ownership of stories across the full stack, from writing the code to testing it and seeing it land in production.

• Keep the house clean: Tackle bugs and tech debt with a quality-first mindset. Our codebase has history, and you'll play a real role in making it better.

• Make code reviews count: Engage genuinely in reviews: absorb what your teammates know, and bring your own perspective to the table.

• Collaborate without silos: Work closely with teammates across engineering to share context, unblock each other, and ship better together.

• Use AI as a real tool: We actively use AI to write faster, review smarter, and innovate — you'll be expected to bring that same mindset to your daily workflow.

• 2–4 years of experience in software development with exposure to full stack technologies.

• Proficiency in one or more modern programming languages (e.g., C#, JavaScript, Python).

• Familiarity with front‑end frameworks (e.g., React, Angular) and back‑end APIs.

• Strong interest in growing technical skills and collaborating with cross‑functional teams.

• You apply best practices such as SOLID, DRY, and KISS to write maintainable, readable code.

• You communicate progress, blockers, and questions clearly — in standups and beyond.

• Actively leverage and improve AI tools daily to accelerate code generation, review, and quality assurance.

• Exposure to cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure) and CI/CD practices.

• Experience with RESTful and/or GraphQL APIs.

• Familiarity with Git Hub Actions or similar CI/CD tooling.

• Prior work in payroll, fintech, or HR technology.
