Senior Software Engineer; Full Stack

Position: Senior Software Engineer (Full Stack)
1-800-GOT-JUNK? is seeking a  Senior Software Engineer (Full Stack)  to join our Product & Technology team in  Vancouver or Toronto . You will sit on the Omni Channel Product Team, building commercial customer and field-facing products end to end: not only implementing tickets, but clarifying intent with Product and Design, proposing technical approaches, shipping across the stack, and owning quality through release and production.

You will still write and review high-quality code every week. You will also shape how we build: testing, observability, security, and how we use modern AI-assisted development as leverage while keeping strong engineering judgment on the merge bar.

HYBRID WORK ENVIRONMENT
Team members in our Vancouver, Toronto, and Kansas City Junktion Hubs follow a hybrid work model that balances flexibility with in-person collaboration. Employees are expected to work from the office several days each month, with scheduled team collaboration and company connection days to support alignment, teamwork, and business priorities.

A DAY IN THE LIFE

Own features from discovery through production: partner with Product and Design to sharpen requirements, call out open questions, propose options, then implement and land the work.

Implement full-stack solutions using NestJS, Node.js, Next.js, React, and PostgreSQL for high-performance, scalable web applications used by franchisees and commercial customers.

Design and maintain robust RESTful APIs and clear contracts between front end and back end so the product experience stays reliable and fast.

Integrate with the systems our products depend on (for example AWS, auth providers, feature flags, and Salesforce-backed workflows) and debug across those boundaries when something breaks.

Use feature flags, staged rollouts, and solid defaults so we can ship safely and learn in production.

Build and maintain tests and CI/CD (for example Git Hub Actions) so quality is owned by the team that writes the code, not bolted on at the end.

Use observability tools such as Datadog to understand production behaviour, troubleshoot issues, and improve reliability.

Provide technical leadership day to day: design notes when decisions will outlive a sprint, thoughtful code reviews, mentoring peers, and raising the bar on craft.

Follow security and compliance practices appropriate for customer-facing and multi-brand platforms (including careful handling of sensitive data).

Write clear documentation and tickets so the next person (including future you) can move faster.

Continuously improve how we build: coding standards, testing strategy, performance, and how we use AI coding tools without outsourcing judgment to the model.

Stay curious about emerging web and platform practices, and bring practical ideas back to the team.

What You Bring To The Table
Must-have

5+ years of full-stack (or strong FE + solid BE / reverse) experience shipping production web products, with clear ownership of outcomes, not only individual tickets.

Strong Type Script / modern JavaScript across UI and API work; hands-on depth with Next.js, React, and Node.js (NestJS experience is a strong plus).

Strong PostgreSQL skills: modelling, querying, and integrating databases into real applications.

Solid experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs; comfort working across service and UI boundaries.

Experience with CI/CD (for example Git Hub Actions), automated tests, and Git-based workflows.

Practical experience with Docker / containerized delivery and AWS (or similar cloud) for real applications.

Familiarity with observability (Datadog or similar) and a bias toward diagnosing production issues with evidence.

Excellent problem-solving and communication: you can work with Product, Design, and other engineers when requirements are incomplete, and still drive a clear path forward.

Comfort in an Agile product team: grooming, spikes when the unknown is real, and finishing outcomes.

Mindset we hire for

Product engineer instincts: you care about user/business outcomes, tradeoffs, and rollout risk, not only “ticket done.”

Independent engineering judgment: you can design, debug, and review without relying on AI as a crutch. We use AI…
