Senior Software Engineer; C++​/Golang​/Rust

Position: Senior Software Engineer (C++ / Golang / Rust )
About the Role  We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer with deep expertise in C++ and/or Golang to lead the evolution of our backend platform and tooling. While our ecosystem has historical roots in Elixir/Scala, we are shifting our focus toward strengthening our core infrastructure with high-performance programming languages.
In this role, you’ll architect and implement secure, high-performance systems, collaborating closely with teams focused on compliance, privacy, experimentation, and infrastructure. You should be comfortable working independently across system boundaries and mentoring engineers while driving technical strategy.

Note:

While this is primarily a C++ and/or Go role, we maintain a footprint of Rust-based tools. A cursory knowledge of Rust or a willingness to interface with Rust-based infrastructure is critical for this role.
We’re particularly interested in engineers excited to learn and integrate AI-powered coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) into their daily workflow to boost velocity and code quality. Prior experience with such tools is a plus.
What You’ll Do   Architect & Build:
Lead the design, development, and maintenance of high-throughput services and tools using Rust.
Collaborate:
Partner with backend and client teams to deliver high-performance, scalable components that power the next era of our platform.
Optimize:
Design systems for reliability, observability, and scale, with an emphasis on clean APIs and modular components.
Innovate with AI:
Explore and integrate AI-based development tools into engineering workflows; evangelize productivity best practices within the team.
Strategize:
Partner with engineering leadership and cross-functional partners to drive technical vision and influence roadmap decisions.
Mentor:
Foster a culture of technical rigor, curiosity, and continuous learning by mentoring mid-level and junior engineers.
Your Background

Experience:

4+ years of backend software development experience, with significant production experience in Rust, C++ (C++17 or later) and/or Golang.
Systems Expertise:
Deep understanding of distributed systems, event-driven architectures, memory management, and performance engineering.
Cloud Native:

Experience with up-to-date infrastructure including Kubernetes, gRPC, CDNs, S3, and Terraform.
Data Layer:
Familiarity with relational and non-relational databases (e.g., Postgre

SQL, Dynamo

DB, Redis, Clickhouse).
Tooling & Observability:
Proficiency with modern observability stacks and CI/CD pipelines.
The "Rust" Factor: A working knowledge or "read-level" proficiency in Rust is a major plus, particularly familiarity with the Tokio or Pingora ecosystems.
AI Enthusiast:
Genuine enthusiasm for using and experimenting with AI tools to enhance software engineering workflows.
Compensation  Pay range: $137,200 - $196,000 CAD annually.
Benefits  Eligible for an annual discretionary bonus, long-term incentive plan, and various benefits including medical/dental/vision, insurance, a 401(k) plan, paid time off, and other benefits in accordance with applicable plan documents.
EEO Statement  We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, gender identity, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. We will consider for employment qualified applicants with criminal histories consistent with applicable law.
