Job Description
- We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer / Tech Lead to lead our development team. This is a player/coach role, meaning that we’re looking for someone to lead the team who is also interested in spending a portion of their time coding.
Who we are:
Our client is a profitable, bootstrapped company that helps massage therapy clinics reduce paperwork, stay organized, and ultimately free up their time so they can spend more time with clients and less time managing administrative tasks. - Officially, we’re based in Toronto, Canada but each of us work remotely. We use Slack to stay in touch throughout the week and Google Meet for sprint planning, stand ups, and a once-per-week full team meeting (for a demo day, updates from customer support/marketing/sales, and we have a bit of fun playing a game together).
- Work hours : Must overlap with 9am to 2pm Eastern Time ( Canada).
Our tech stack:
● Python, Django
● React, Redux
● MySQL
● AWS
● GitLab - Why join us:
We’re a team that loves what we do and we all thrive on our ability to make an impact. We measure our success based on our output and quality of work, not the number of hours worked each week. We value work-life balance and offer flexibility to handle anything that may come up in our personal lives and to work when we feel the most productive.
