Senior Software Development Engineer

Who We are:

At Wagepoint, we’re good people. Sure, maybe we’re biased. But that’s only because Wagepointers bring the best versions of ourselves to do some of the best work in our careers.

We’re an authentic team who bring our diverse backgrounds, ideas, experiences and cultures together to make payroll magic. Speaking of, we “pull rabbits out of hats” for thousands of small business owners across Canada who rely on our payroll software to pay their employees and process their payroll taxes. And we’re just getting started.

We’re growing and looking for more awesome people to join our merry band of misfits. We are looking for people who share our understanding that when it comes to our commitment to our customers: we mean business. Especially given that the consequences of getting payroll wrong can sometimes be dire.

If you are the kind of person who has always wanted to make a difference and be heard at work, Wagepoint will give you plenty of opportunity to do just that.

The Role at High Level:

We’re looking for a talented Senior Full Stack Engineer who doesn’t shy away from tackling hard problems and interesting subjects like payroll and HR technology.

• Familiarity with frontend testing tools like Jest and React Testing Library, with a commitment to writing clean, maintainable, and testable code.
• Comfortable with Git version control, and working in environments with CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum teams, with strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.

Bonus points if:

• Familiarity with AI tools and automation to enhance team productivity.
