Are you actively looking for a new opportunity? Or just checking the market? Well… you might just be in the right place!
We are looking for a Full-Stack Web Developer to join our Marketing team and help build, maintain, and evolve our marketing website and related applications. You will work across the stack — from creating intuitive, user-friendly front-end components to building and maintaining robust back-end systems.
For this role, you should be located in Canada, and able to work within EST/EDT hours. We offer a choice of fully remote, partially remote or fully office-based work environments (in cities with local offices).
What you will be doing
- Develop and maintain scalable, maintainable, and secure full-stack applications and web components
- Build, evolve, and implement new and existing UI/UX features in close collaboration with the design team
- Develop and optimize backend logic, APIs, and integrations to support frontend functionality
- Maintain and extend our WordPress ecosystem, including custom themes, plugins, and Gutenberg blocks
- Ensure high standards of code quality through reviews, testing, and peer collaboration
- Participate in technical discussions, architecture decisions, and feature planning
- Stay current with both frontend and backend best practices and technologies
What you need to bring:
- Strong experience with backend development (PHP and Node.js, databases such as MySQL/Postgres)
- Proficiency in JavaScript (ES6+), with experience in frameworks such as React
- Strong knowledge of semantic HTML, CSS (Sass/LESS), and building responsive, accessible interfaces
- Knowledge of SEO best practices in development to ensure code and content structure support overall search visibility
- Experience working with RESTful APIs and integrations (building and consuming)
Solid experience with CMS platforms (e.g., WordPress, Wordpress Multisite & Gutenberg) and customizing them when needed
- Experience with version control (Git/GitHub) and modern development workflows
- Solid understanding of cross-browser/platform compatibility issues and solutions
- Ability to estimate, scope, and deliver features independently and as part of a team
- Ability to contribute to clear documentation and actively share knowledge to support team collaboration and project continuity
- A strong interest in great UX and performance-driven development
- As a global company with employees and clients outside of Quebec, fluency in English as a working language is required for this position.
Nice to have
- Experience with testing (unit, integration, e2e with Cypress/Jest)
- Knowledge of Google Tag Manager (GTM) and website analytics (GA4)
- Familiarity with TypeScript
- Experience with cloud hosting environments (e.g., AWS, GCP) and deployment workflows
- Knowledge of security and performance best practices for web applications
- Experience working in an Agile development environment
- Leverage AI-assisted development tools thoughtfully to improve productivity, while ensuring code quality, security, and maintainability
Now, what is in it for you?
- Ability to do your job in a truly flexible environment;
- Genuine career opportunities in a company that’s creating new jobs everyday;
- Work in a team big enough for growth but lean enough to make a real impact.
…. And enjoy a range of benefits that will keep you happy, healthy and (not) hungry.
