Infrastructure Engineer, TrustFlight

• 3+ years of software development experience with core platform technologies. Hands-on experience building, shipping, and maintaining production systems using Node.js, PostgreSQL, JavaScript, and TypeScript, with exposure to real-world trade-offs around scalability, reliability, and maintainability, and a solid understanding of how these technologies work together in scalable, maintainable applications
• Distributed systems and cloud architecture experience. Experience designing or contributing to cloud-based systems, with attention to scalability, fault tolerance, security, and operational concerns
• Authentication and identity fundamentals. Familiarity with modern authentication and identity concepts (e.g., OAuth2, OpenID Connect, SSO), including secure sign-in flows and how identity integrates with broader system architecture
• Microservices and API design experience. Experience building and maintaining service-oriented systems and well-structured APIs, with an understanding of versioning, reliability, and how services interact across distributed environments
• Strong software testing discipline (Unit, Integration, and End-to-End testing). A quality-first mindset with hands-on experience writing and maintaining meaningful tests, understanding where different testing strategies add value, and ensuring confidence in platform changes before release
• Relational database design and operation. Experience working with relational databases, including schema design, indexing, query optimization, data integrity, and reasoning about complex data models such as multi-tenant systems
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting. A methodical, detail-oriented approach to diagnosing issues across application code, infrastructure, and data layers, with a willingness to dig deep to identify root causes
• Clear documentation and communication. Ability to document technical decisions, implementations, and operational processes, and to communicate effectively with both engineering peers and cross-functional teams
• A growth mindset. A willingness to learn, adapt, and continuously improve technical and product skills in a fast-evolving platform environment
• Practical familiarity with modern AI tooling. A practical understanding of modern AI capabilities and tooling, including strengths, limitations, and appropriate use cases, with an emphasis on applying AI responsibly to enhance systems, workflows, or developer productivity
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience. Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• This role is based in our Vancouver office. This is an on-site role with room for flexibility, because we know life doesn't always fit a 9-to-5 mould

Desirable

• Contribute to high-level architectural discussions, making informed decisions based on system constraints, scalability, and future growth
• Debug and resolve complex platform issues by working directly with raw data, services, and infrastructure layers
• Uphold strong engineering standards through clean, maintainable code and thoughtful technical trade-offs
• Testing & Quality Assurance:
• Maintain a strong testing discipline, ensuring all changes are well-covered by appropriate unit, integration, and end-to-end tests
• Advocate for and implement quality-first engineering practices, including test automation and early validation of platform changes
• Ensure reliability and confidence in releases by validating behavior across services, environments, and tenant boundaries
• DevOps & Infrastructure:
• Work confidently with cloud-based infrastructure and deployment practices, contributing to reliable, scalable platform operations
• Collaborate on or support CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows to enable safe, repeatable releases
• Apply strong foundational knowledge of authentication and security, understanding sign-in flows, protocol choices, and how identity integrates with the broader system
• Ensure platform stability, observability, and security as systems evolve
• Collaboration & Communication:
• Collaborate effectively across the organization, including engineering, DevOps, and customer-facing teams when platform work intersects with delivery or product needs
• Communicate frequently and openly with peers, sharing context, decisions, and trade-offs to maintain alignment
• Produce clear, thorough documentation for all work, proactively sharing outcomes with the platform team and any impacted teams during cross-team initiatives
• Stay engaged with platform evolution and industry best practices, continuously improving how the team builds and operates software
