Senior Full Stack Engineer, Designer Team

Location: Movable Ink - Toronto

Department: Engineering

The Senior Full Stack Engineer role on the Designer Team collaborates closely and effectively with devs on the team, as well as product, design, and cross-team stakeholders to ship and maintain scalable, reliable, and performant full stack solutions amongst complex and critical systems in an exciting and highly dynamic environment.

The Designer Team develops and maintains self-service, enterprise-grade, dynamic WYSIWYG content creation at Movable Ink, as well as the high-throughput, real-time rendering pipeline that resolves and displays it. We own a broad, mission-critical, full stack domain spanning the front-end designer experience and the back-end systems across TypeScript, Ruby, Python, Rust, Go, and C++.

This is a great opportunity for the right individual who is always eager to step up to a challenge and excited to dive into an impressive system, grow with a fantastic team, and feel the direct impact of their ideas, collaborations, and solutions

Responsibilities:

• Independently deliver the right solutions across the system and stack, from design through rollout
• Consistently write reusable, adaptable, well-tested code with a command of each framework and language's patterns and idioms, without unnecessary complexity
• Refactor and simplify existing code appropriately, and proactively reduce toil and technical debt through personal investment and advocacy
• Build and improve tools and processes that make the team more efficient and drive alignment and consistency
• Ensure high-quality code and team growth through thorough, empathetic code reviews, resolving differences of opinion, fostering a collaborative culture, and having the courage to ask thoughtful questions and state your point of view
• Share and document your areas and efforts, pair, and support teammates by looking for opportunities to engage their strengths in your projects
• Proactively drive communication with stakeholders and teammates, collaborate seamlessly across teams, and contribute to interviewing and assessing candidates

Qualifications:

• 5+ years building and shipping production software as a full stack engineer
• Proven track record of independently shipping full stack features in a large codebase. Comfortable creating, reading, extending, and refactoring cod, and stewarding it from design through rollout
• High proficiency in at least two of our core languages (TypeScript, Ruby, Python, Rust, Go, C++) and the ability to ramp on the others, with a passion for detail toward idiomatic usage and best practices and patterns
• Experience writing reusable, adaptable, thoroughly tested code, with strong awareness of the available libraries and tools
• The judgment to separate what's needed from what can be scoped out, and to make and clearly communicate decisions, even when navigating ambiguous, imperfect, or open-ended information
• Ownership and proactive stewardship of what you build. A sharp eye for edge cases and externalities, and the instinct to raise them vocally and reduce toil and technical debt
• A consistently high bar for implementation, communication, process, and attitude, from modern patterns to both sides of a PR review, or working with stakeholders
• A collaborative, growth-minded approach: you guide teammates, apply feedback from all levels, and help grow others
