• Strong system design skills, including designing scalable, resilient, observable services and understanding design patterns and trade-offs.
• Expertise in at least one backend language: Java, Python, Go, or Node.js/TypeScript, and relevant frameworks such as Spring Boot/MVC, Express.js, or NestJS.
• Frontend experience building single-page applications, preferably with Angular; React or Next.js experience is also suitable. Familiarity with component architecture, state management, and secure user experience patterns is expected.

• Experience integrating or operating SAST/DAST, dependency, and cloud security tools, including incorporating vendor products into developer workflows.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to explain security and engineering concepts to varied audiences.
• ServiceNow AVR exposure is an asset. Certifications such as CISSP or CEH are optional.
• Must be eligible to work in Canada; Canadian work experience is not required.
• Candidates located in Quebec must be bilingual, as the role involves regular interaction with English-speaking colleagues across Canada.

• Build and enhance backend and/or frontend features, writing clean, maintainable code.
• Create automation to coordinate compliance assessments.
