Software Engineer (Infrastructure/Developer Tooling), Toronto

Requirements

This is a role for someone who thinks of internal engineers as customers, cares deeply about developer experience, and brings strong software fundamentals to the infrastructure space

3+ years of experience in Software Development or Infrastructure Engineering—your roots are in writing software, and your infra experience grows from there

Strong development background in Ruby or Golang—you're comfortable writing production-quality code and building internal services in at least one of these languages

Hands-on experience building internal platforms or tooling that other systems rely on—you've treated it like a product, using data and feedback to drive what you build next

Genuine interest in developer experience: you think about the internal engineer as a customer and are energized by reducing friction for your teammates

Some hands-on experience with AWS or cloud infrastructure in production—you don't need to be an infrastructure expert, but you understand core concepts and can navigate cloud environments with confidence

Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred) and containerized application deployment

Experience with CI/CD systems and an understanding of how software delivery pipelines work

Ability to use observability tools to identify, debug, and resolve issues in production

Ability to work across team boundaries with platform, security, and product teams—keeping the right people informed and your work rarely landing as a surprise

Strong sense of ownership—you deliver on commitments, monitor what you ship, and follow through on risks to timely delivery

Growth mindset: you integrate feedback, support teammates' development, and communicate effectively

We're committed to fostering a welcoming space where every Homie can be their full self. Experience comes in many forms—so if you're excited about this role, even if you don’t meet 100% of the qualifications, we encourage you to apply!
