- 5+ years professional experience with React/React-Native.
- A track record of high-quality output and owning features from ideation to post-release.
- A systems mindset, applying engineering principles to design and build reliable, scalable software.
- Patience, a great deal of empathy for users and team members alike, and persistence.
- Exemplary communication skills necessary to succeed in a small, cross-functional work environment.
Bonus points for having
- Experience in wireframing/designing features for mobile/web applications.
- Experience architecting, deploying and monitoring services in AWS.
- Experience managing roadmaps in Notion or GitHub
- Knowledge of French.

- Code reviews to ensure a consistently high quality of work across all platforms.
- Help us shape our processes to remain flexible and efficient as we continue to grow.
- Assist with recruitment efforts and onboarding of new team members.
Compensation & location
- Full-time, remote role within Ontario, with regular coworking in Toronto and Kitchener–Waterloo.

Why join Poparide?
