Staff Developer (Front-End)
Staff Developer (Front-End) Department: Engineering Employment Type: Permanent Location: Remote Canada Description At AgencyAnalytics, our Staff Developers are T-shaped: you operate broadly across multiple technical domains as a full-stack engineer, but also dive deep into specific problem areas when needed. You're part strategist, part builder, part mentor, and you’re just as comfortable writing production code as you are setting architectural direction. As a Staff Developer, you can expect to be brought into initiatives at the strategy and discovery phases to ideate on what’s possible. You’ll experiment and drive new changes to existing system architectures. You’ll be a coach and mentor to our engineering team. You’ll set the operating rhythm to balance high efficiency with high quality, along with other Staff Developers and technical leaders.
What You'll Do
Your time will be divided between leading cross-functional technical projects, building and reviewing architectures on our squads (our stack is PHP, React, and TypeScript) You’ll be setting and driving coding standards, technical processes, and tooling across engineering You'll prioritize and work on multiple projects from start to finish, balancing quality, stability and project delivery. Through code reviews and mentoring, you'll set a high-quality bar. As well, you’ll actively look for ways to improve the overall quality of our codebase. You'll work across teams to promote an open, collaborative approach to architecture, technical patterns, and complex problem solving. What You'll Bring You’ve got 8+ years of SaaS application development experience under your belt, with a track record of leading technical initiatives to successful outcomes. You have closely collaborated with other Staff on foundational engineering decisions and product development. You’ve previously held a Staff Developer or higher title, and you’re ready to hit the ground running at that level. You’re full-stack, hands-on, and coding daily. You're also able to zoom out and guide system-wide decisions. You’ve architected complex systems, balancing performance, scale, and developer experience. You’ve worked closely with Product, and UX/UI Designers to translate high-level goals into elegant, scalable interfaces. You’ve got serious chops in software observability; you know how to build for it, teach it, and scale it across teams. AI tooling doesn’t scare you. You’ve dabbled (or more than dabbled) in using AI to generate components, test code, or streamline code review. You thrive in ambiguity and can operate at different levels, from system architecture down to pair programming with a junior dev. You know how to delegate effectively, and you’re excellent at unblocking teams and keeping things moving. You believe in iteration and evolution of architecture vs. re-architecting from scratch Our Stack: TypeScript, React, and Redux Modern PHP (PSR) + Laravel GCP Cloud SQL (MySQL), BigQuery, and Redis GCP Cloud Tasks and PubSub Benefits, Compensation & Perks Compensation is determined by factors such as market data within Canada, technical skills, relevant experience, demonstrated impact, and internal pay equity.
