We grow one neighbourhood at a time. We’re a local tech company in every sense of the word, and we start with integrity and the belief that good work matters.\nWe believe homeowners should have everything their home needs in one place, and that neighbourhoods work best when trust runs high and stays local. Commissions should be small and charged only on completed work, so the best Pros can actually say yes. Tech companies should go to work for the locally loved Pros of the GTA, rather than trying to get those Pros to effectively work for the tech company.\nIf this resonates with you and you’re at a point in your career and your life where you want to do something uniquely difficult for a meaningful outcome, you’ve found your next home.\nROLE OVERVIEW\nThe Senior Developer Operations is a key contributor responsible for delivering high-quality, scalable software across the frontend and backend. This role involves building performant UIs, designing robust APIs, modeling data flows, and integrating services that support complex product features.\nWorking closely with product, design, and engineering teams, the developer drives architecture decisions, leads technical implementation, and mentors others on best practices. They balance hands-on execution with systems thinking, consistently improving code quality, performance, and developer experience. The ideal candidate pairs deep technical skill with a strong product mindset and a focus on reliability, usability, and long-term maintainability.\nEMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP:\nWe’re a team on a mission. We expect a high degree of ownership from each other and we pair that with higher than usual employee ownership in the company.\nWHAT YOU WILL BE DOING\nTechnical Execution & Ownership\nPlatform Engineering\nDesign, build, and maintain scalable, secure, and highly available cloud infrastructure.\nDevelop internal platform services and tooling that improve developer productivity and reduce cognitive load.\nStandardize infrastructure patterns and reusable modules.\nCI/CD & Automation\nArchitect and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines for multiple services and environments.\nDrive automation across build, test, deployment, and release processes.\nImplement progressive delivery strategies (e.g., blue/green, canary deployments).\nInfrastructure as Code (IaC)\nDefine and manage infrastructure using tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation.\nEnforce best practices for versioning, testing, and reusability of infrastructure code.\nObservability & Reliability\nBuild and maintain monitoring, logging, and alerting systems.\nDefine and track SLIs/SLOs and improve system reliability through data-driven decisions.\nLead incident response, root cause analysis, and postmortems.\nCloud & Security\nOptimize cloud resource usage, performance, and cost.\nImplement security best practices, including IAM, secrets management, and compliance controls.\nCollaborate with security teams to enforce policies and standards.\nCollaboration & Leadership\nPartner with engineering teams to improve deployment workflows and system reliability.\nMentor junior engineers and promote DevOps and platform engineering best practices.\nContribute to architectural decisions and technical strategy.\nAgile Process & Delivery\nDrive backlog refinement, estimation, and sprint planning across cross-functional squads with fullstack responsibilities\nOwn release readiness for features, including end-to-end testing, canary rollout strategies, and post-deployment observability\nEstablish and maintain CI/CD pipelines for web and backend services using GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or similar tools\nIntegrate code coverage, static analysis, and test automation into delivery pipelines to support velocity without sacrificing stability\nContinuously improve team workflows via retrospectives, tooling improvements, and process experimentation\nWHAT YOU BRING\nCandidates should have 6+ years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or platform engineering roles, with at least 2+ years leading technical initiatives or mentoring engineers. They must be proficient in scripting or programming languages such as Python, Go, or Bash, and have strong experience working with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, or Azure).\nExpertise in building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, managing infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, Pulumi), and operating containerized workloads (Docker, Kubernetes) is essential. Candidates should have hands-on experience with observability tooling (monitoring, logging, alerting), as well as a solid understanding of distributed systems, networking, and security best practices.\nThey should be confident in owning infrastructure and platform architecture decisions, improving system reliability, and driving automation across the software delivery lifecycle. Experience collaborating closely with engineering, product, IT and data teams is critical, along with a strong ability to mentor peers and promote DevOps best practices.\nFamiliarity with performance optimization, incident management, and secure infrastructure design is expected. The ideal candidate builds scalable, resilient platforms, improves developer experience, and thrives in fast-paced, cross-functional environments.\nTHIS IS A GOOD FIT FOR YOU IF…\nYou’re mission-driven and looking to solve the mission’s hardest problems.\nYou’re at a point in your life and your career where you want to tackle a uniquely demanding job to produce meaningful impact. \nYou’re keen to work in-person with a team.\nYou show up like an owner. \nYou want to value the equity and solve for others.\nROLE SALARY BAND\n$160,000 - $215,000\nLOCATION\nWe believe that in-person work builds a level of connection and shared understanding that fully-remote work cannot achieve.\nThis role requires you to work at our office every Monday, every Thursday and every second Tuesday. Reasonable exceptions are made when life happens, but these should be infrequent.\nIf you are not already located in Toronto or one of its nearby suburbs, we will only be able to consider your application if you already have concrete plans to relocate to the Toronto area.\nOUR VALUES\nIntegrity - We prioritize integrity over comfort, convenience, and the short-cuts of success that drive metrics but undermine trust.\nTrust - We cannot win unless we win on trust. Trust is hard to earn and easy to lose. We need to be built for it in our DNA.\nCompetitiveness - We believe that competitiveness is a critical complement to integrity and trust. If we’re not our customer’s best choice, then we’re wasting their time. We believe in the power of healthy competitive markets, and we believe we need to be uniquely competitive to win in this space. We have too much respect for the other players in this space to expect things to be easy. That’s a good thing.\nEmpowerment - Any win we achieve needs to be first and foremost a win that we deliver to others, starting with our customers, and their long term best interests.\nVACATION AND BENEFITS\nWe know the power it takes to be successful in a challenging mission and we want to ensure our team is rested and ready to go.\nWe offer 30 days of PTO annually, which can be used for vacation, personal days, or illness. Five of these days are designated as company-wide closures around the start and end of the year.\nIn addition, our benefits plan covers health, dental and wellness to add that extra pep in our step, and help us sleep at night.\nWe have a tech allowance benefit to help set you up for work. \nWe have pregnancy and parental leave policies, and we’re ready to support your family’s next stage of growth.\nEMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP\nWe’re a team on a mission. We expect a high degree of ownership from each other and we pair that with higher-than-usual employee ownership in the company.\nA NOTE ON HUMAN BEINGS\nWe believe that meaning is created between human beings.
