What is ScalePad?

ScalePad is a market-leading software-as-a-service (SaaS) with headquarters in Downtown Vancouver, BC and a development studio on the Plateau in Montreal, QC.

Our success is no accident: Our award-winning platform empowers IT pros to manage their assets by providing actionable insights to run their business more efficiently. Our customers report impressive efficiency gains – we make their businesses more profitable. That compelling ROI argument is why we’ve organically developed a global following, managing over $15 billion in IT assets across 75+ countries, frequently landing ourselves in the conversations at key industry events.

You can contribute to building something amazing and appreciate how your work is helping take this company to a higher level of operational maturity. More on that here.

Your mission, should you decide to accept it.

As a Senior Back End Software Developer, you will be responsible for both developing entirely new products and innovating over our existing technology stack. This will involve research, analysis, design, and planning, as well as teamwork, collaboration, and mentoring team members to help shape the product to be the best it can possibly be. This is a unique opportunity to participate in every aspect of engineering. You will have the guidance to learn, optimize, advance, and grow every quarter.

Experience.

Experience is an asset, but what follows is much more important:

You are curious, you love learning, sharing ideas, and tackling problems.

You have a natural inclination for shipping and iterating at high velocity.

You can step back and appreciate the value of recognizing a mistake.

You care. About ideas, solving hard problems, and about our team’s success.

You have a strong comprehension of the SaaS development lifecycle.

You are passionate about strong architecture.

Skills and traits we love:
You are obsessive about the quality of your work (and the work of your teammates).

You have autonomy in your ability to manage and prioritize your tasks, with an innate ability to shift gears when required.

You are a sponge when it comes to learning, and excel even when outside your comfort zone.

You have strong software design skills and are open to receive feedback and iterate collaboratively over your designs.

Within the first few months, you will:
Achieve a deep understanding of the problems we’re tackling, our business model, and our product.

Develop software solutions by studying information needs; conferring with stakeholders; studying systems flow, data usage, and work processes; investigating problem areas; following the software development lifecycle.

Familiarize yourself with our technology architecture – Currently, microservices on a modern C# / .NET async/await stack, REST APIs, Javascript/TypeScript, MySQL, Elasticsearch, SASS, much ado about caching, AWS, and even some leftover PHP (which is on the way out)

Continuously ship new features for our applications, helping with the bridge between the backend and frontend, stopping by middleware along the way 😉

Determine operational feasibility by evaluating analysis, problem definition, requirements, solution development, and proposed solutions.

Document and demonstrate solutions by developing documentation, flowcharts, layouts, diagrams, charts, code comments, and clear code.

Improve operations by conducting analysis and recommending changes in processes.

Stay up-to-date with state-of-the-art development tools, programming techniques, and computing equipment.

Participate in educational opportunities, reading professional publications, and maintaining personal networks to stay on the leading edge of development practices.

Protect operations by keeping information confidential and provide a secure coding methodology.

Support and mentor software engineers by providing advice, coaching, and educational opportunities.

Follow and improve company coding standards, and coach junior and mid-level engineers to follow them.

Collaborate with the team to brainstorm and create new products and features and provide ETAs.

Make informed decisions quickly and take ownership of services and applications at scale.

From there, you will continue working as part of our core product and engineering team to build out one of the greatest products ever to hit the IT ecosystem.

Bonus Points? Here are a few.

Experience with AWS application services.

Experience working with microservices architecture.

Experience working in a continuous delivery environment.

Team experience.

You are fanatical about user experience.

Experience in IT.

Perks, Perks, Perks.

Top benefits package including 100% extended health and dental.

Games at lunch are a tradition.

All required work from home equipment will be provided.

80% coverage for transit subsidy (for those interested in returning to the office)

Annual training and professional development coverage to help advance your career.

Spotify premium account with actual recording studio-grade headphones.

Work-Life Balance.

We ❤ love developers! We value their work and recognize that to be a great #Rocketeer you have to have a work-life balance. During COVID-19 we have moved our product/engineering teams to be fully remote. No stress getting on public transit and you get to work in your comfies. Our team remains connected all throughout the day, so there is never a dull moment and you still feel part of the community. Once COVID-19 restrictions are lifted, our goal is to return to a hybrid work model. This means the option to work in our Vancouver or Montreal office and work remotely along with all their perks will be available to you for the ultimate work-life balance.

Friday Lunch ‘n Learn (yes, we have a whole section for this).

On Fridays, our product and engineering dept is invited to our free Lunch ‘n Learn, where a team-mate shares something interesting with the rest of the group. Lunch is provided, whether you are in-office or remote. Nice!

Dream jobs do not knock on your door every day.

ScalePad is not your typical software company. When we hire you, we aren’t just offering you a job, but rather we are committing to investing in both you and your long-term career. You’ll help shape how this modern SaaS company operates and make a genuine impact on the future of our people, product and partners.

We invite all qualified candidates to apply. Please note, you must be eligible to work in Canada to be considered for this role. We thank you for your interest. However, only successful applicants will be contacted.

Please no recruiters or phone calls.
