📋 Description

• Identify and execute improvements to the codebase that make it easier for both humans and AI agents to move fast and ship safely. • Work with a group of senior engineers in a low-process environment powered by trust and autonomy. • Drive decisions and consensus asynchronously with thoughtful documentation and specs. • Own features end-to-end — from the backend systems to the partner-facing surface. • Architect scalable solutions and foundational patterns that let us efficiently launch new partner experiences. • Work directly with PMs and business partners to define and refine our roadmap.

🎯 Requirements

• A natural drive to fearlessly dive into an unknown codebase and deliver results fast. • Strong product thinking — your conception of quality and architecture is anchored in the customer experience, not in technical elegance for its own sake. • The ability to direct AI agents and automated workflows to build and maintain complex systems, and the judgment to know when to step in and when to let them run. • Experience designing the guardrails and feedback loops that keep AI-assisted development productive and reliable. • Experience with, or a mastery-level willingness to learn, distributed system development in Scala. • The ability to articulate not just how you'd solve a problem, but why, and what tradeoffs you're accepting.

🏖️ Benefits

• Hopper covers 100% of the premiums for group insurance plan. • Hopper offers life, short term and long term disability coverage. • HSA that covers eligible medical and dental expenses. • All employees and dependents have access to Dialogue’s telemedicine services, anytime, anywhere. • All employees have access to an RRSP plan with automatic pre-tax withdrawals per pay. • Very generous parental leave, much above industry standards! • Unlimited PTO. • Carrot Cash travel stipend. • Access to co-working space on demand through FlexDesk AND Work-from-home stipend. • Entrepreneurial culture where pushing limits and taking risks is everyday business. • Open communication with management and company leadership. • Small, dynamic teams = massive impact.
