Responsibilities

• Scoping, designing, and implementing resilient, performant, and high-quality backend solutions
• Working closely with fellow engineers to deliver complex backend features and integrations
• Maintaining and enhancing existing integrations, anticipating future product solutions and making sure our systems scale with Motion’s growth
• Identifying and resolving errors, performance issues, and devex problems in our codebase
• Driving engineering advancements

Skills

• 6+ years of experience building and maintaining large-scale software applications
• Proficiency with our core stack (React, Node.js, TypeScript) is ideal, BUT if you've worked with similar tech, we'd still love to chat
• Excitement about using AI as part of your workflow and keeping up with how fast it's changing how we build software
• Strong experience with asynchronous message queue systems
• Experience with MongoDB or other document-based databases
• Solid understanding of data modeling, ETL concepts, and simplifying data architecture
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with a knack for translating complex technical issues into clear business impacts
• Any background: self-taught, bootcamp, degree, founder. We love talent from everywhere!
• A strong sense of ownership: you make decisions, stand behind them, and fix things quickly when they're wrong
• A pragmatic mindset. You optimize for impact over perfection, care more about shipping real customer value than polishing every edge, and improve things over time
• Comfort thriving in a fast-moving startup where requirements are ambiguous, shift quickly, and clarity isn't handed to you, you create it
• You enjoy being a strong individual contributor and a supportive teammate

Benefits

• Competitive compensation package: We offer competitive compensation, including equity for all employees, health benefits from day one, a monthly health & lifestyle stipend to support your well-being, 20 days of PTO, and a $1,500 work-from-home stipend.
• Remote-first with hybrid flexibility: We're a remote-first company with team members spanning Canada, the U.S., and beyond, but also have office spaces in 4 main hubs (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Porto) for optional hybrid work.
• Opportunity for impact: As an early team member, your contributions will directly shape the product, team, and the future of the company.
• Team connection: Virtual: Day-to-day, we use Roam, an AI-powered virtual office platform that fosters spontaneous collaboration, drop into meetings or quick chats, and interact with colleagues for a simulated, "live" digital headquarters.
• Team connection: In-person: Outside of the option to go to one of our offices, our team gets together in-person for a week every two months, and we have a company retreat every summer.
