Senior Engineer, Fullstack - Growth

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Engineer, Fullstack – Growth based in Canada.

Join a remote-first engineering team building innovative infrastructure that simplifies global payments and helps businesses optimize their payment operations. As a Senior Fullstack Engineer focused on Growth, you will lead the frontend architecture and technical direction of the self-service onboarding experience, helping merchants move from account creation to their first live payment. You will play a key role in shaping a newly established product area, with significant autonomy over technical decisions and engineering standards. Working closely with Design and Product, you will turn complex requirements into intuitive, high-quality user experiences. You will also mentor engineers, establish best practices, and contribute to backend development when needed. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a collaborative, globally distributed environment where initiative and technical leadership are highly valued.

Accountabilities:
In this role, you will take ownership of the frontend experience and help shape the technical foundations of the Growth team while collaborating across disciplines to deliver effective onboarding solutions.

-

Lead frontend architecture and technical direction for the self-service onboarding journey and platform experience.

-

Spend approximately 80% of your hands-on development time on frontend engineering and 20% on backend development, adapting as priorities evolve.

-

Collaborate closely with Design to take onboarding and platform concepts from initial ideas through production, ensuring a smooth and intuitive merchant experience.

-

Mentor engineers and support the development of frontend skills, engineering judgment, and code quality across the team.

-

Establish frontend conventions, architecture review practices, testing strategies, and quality standards for a growing engineering team.

-

Contribute to the Python backend when necessary to unblock frontend work or deliver end-to-end features.

-

Exercise independent technical judgment, challenge product or design decisions when appropriate, and help define the team's engineering practices in an evolving environment.

-

Contribute to a culture of collaboration, continuous improvement, and high-quality product development.

Requirements:

The ideal candidate brings strong frontend engineering expertise, proven technical leadership, and the confidence to shape architecture and engineering standards in a team that is still taking form. You should be comfortable working autonomously, mentoring others, and contributing beyond your primary area of expertise.

-

Demonstrated experience architecting and building complex frontend applications in production environments.

-

Strong frontend engineering skills, including the ability to make sound architectural decisions rather than simply implementing existing design systems.

-

Confidence acting as the most senior frontend technical voice on a team, including constructively challenging product and design decisions when technical considerations require it.

-

Some backend development experience and a genuine willingness to work with Python codebases; deep Python expertise is not required.

-

Experience mentoring other engineers, ideally including early-career team members.

-

Ability to work independently, establish appropriate technical standards, and make decisions without relying on extensive guidance.

-

Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with Design, Product, and Engineering colleagues.

-

Adaptability and comfort with ambiguity, particularly in a newly formed team where processes and tools are still evolving.

Nice to have:

-

Experience building or integrating payment products.

-

Experience working on growth-oriented product experiences, particularly merchant onboarding, activation, or self-service journeys.

Benefits:

-

Fully remote work in a globally distributed environment.

Flexible annual leave, with a minimum of 25 days to be taken.

-

Access to coworking spaces across major cities.

Generous learning and professional development budget.

A collaborative, supportive environment with onboarding designed to help employees succeed.
