Role
Who you are
- We’re hunting for an Intermediate Engineer located in Canada
- Multi-Language Expertise: Own feature development end-to-end using two or more modern programming languages; experience with Python is a nice-to-have
- Database Expertise: Strong understanding of relational databases (schema design, indexing, and query performance)
- Front-End Expertise: Experience working with React or Angular to deliver polished user interfaces
- Agile DNA: Hands-on experience delivering SaaS in Agile (Scrum/Kanban) environments
- Collaborative Communication: Stellar written/verbal skills to work effectively with product managers, designers, and stakeholders
- Cloud Proficiency (AWS): Proven ability to deploy, configure, and troubleshoot applications in AWS
What the job involves
- As part of a cross-functional product-engineering squad, you’ll design, build, and maintain scalable software solutions, from concept through deployment
- You’ll work closely with senior developers, product managers, and designers to ensure our products exceed business goals
- End-to-End Feature Delivery: Translate specs into code, build clean, well-tested features across the stack (front-end frameworks like React/Angular and back-end frameworks like Django), and ensure seamless integration
- Codebase Maintenance: Refactor legacy code, squash technical debt, and optimize performance. Participate in a shared on-call rotation to support critical services and ensure platform reliability during and outside business hours
- Peer Code Reviews: Provide feedback, enforce team-wide best practices, and champion maintainability and scalability
- Agile Collaboration: Dive into daily standups, sprint planning, and retros with product, design, and other engineering teammates to keep the release train on schedule
Our take
Certn’s platform allows people to gain fast access to background checks, from criminal records through to motor vehicle records and even credit checks. Its software allows recruiters to save time and money in the hiring process, as the standard 3-4 days for completing background checks is reduced to hours.
Currently, the solution is used by over 2,800 enterprises, including leading employers, staffing firms and property management companies. However, it is not the only player using AI to conduct background checks; Checkr, GoodHire, and HireRight are some of the leading companies that are solving this years-old problem in different parts of the world, and Certn will have to work hard to stand out in this crowded space.
The company looks poised for a period of rapid international expansion over the next few years, thanks to considerable funding amounting to $115 million in 2023 and the acquisition of UK-based background check provider Credence and Australian Intercheck. It also astutely hired CTO Susan Davis (ex-VP of Engineering at Dessa and Xtiva Financial Systems) in 2021.
