About the role

Are you a Senior Full Stack Engineer looking for an opportunity to contribute to an impactful product while being able to work on big ideas? We’re looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to join us at Thinkific.


As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you will work across our application stack to ensure business milestones are met while also investigating, assessing, and fixing defects within the product. You’ll also be a source of mentorship and will help to support the growth and development of other team members. In this role, you will work closely with our engineering, product management, and product design teams to help translate business requirements and specifications into delivered platform features.


Your goal will be to lead medium-large feature projects in our agile environment, from conception to completion, working with stakeholders to identify project risks and recommend mitigating solutions. Here’s how you’ll accomplish this:

  • Author code that is reliable, well-rounded, and sets an example to other team members
  • Effectively diagnose and troubleshoot problems within the Thinkific platform
  • Participate in architectural design, review, and implementation of production-quality features
  • Actively help others to coordinate and design architecture that is fit for the coding area while identifying common patterns that will reduce technical debt and enable efficiency and quality
  • Participate in effort and complexity estimation for new product features and tasks
  • Share knowledge with others through mentorship, clear documentation, code reviews, pair programming, and training sessions. Use code reviews as a teaching opportunity
  • Work with your team to conduct new technology research, bringing fresh ideas and concepts to bear on product development


The person we have in mind likely:

  • Has 5+ years of experience working in a full stack development role, and at least 1+ years of experience working in a SaaS environment
  • Has experience with modern server-side programming languages (Ruby, Node, etc.)
  • Is knowledgeable and experienced with modern web frameworks (Ruby on Rails, etc.)
  • Has strong knowledge of at least one modern JavaScript libraries/framework such as Nextjs
  • Has advanced knowledge of server-side languages and frameworks (Ruby, Node, etc.)
  • Demonstrates a practical understanding of Web APIs, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
  • Showcases the ability to design and implement GraphQL APIs
  • Has experience with relational databases, SQL, and engines like PostgreSQL
  • Loves to learn and grow. They’ve found (and keep looking for) ways to level up their skills in this field, whether that’s through formal education, gaining professional experience, or maybe even building their own business
  • Adaptable and a proven problem solver
  • Has experience in instrumenting and monitoring applications with tools like New Relic or DataDog etc.


These things would also be nice, but we think you could learn them on the job:

  • Experience building real-time AI web applications
  • Knowledge and experience with cloud-based server infrastructures, particularly Cloudflare


The recruitment compensation range for this position is $120,000 - $160,000 CAD
