Remote Full-time Live

Who We Are:

At Emburse, you’ll not just imagine the future – you’ll build it. As a leader in travel and expense solutions, we are creating a future where technology drives business value and inspires extraordinary results.

The Staff Engineer is a hybrid role (we have an office in downtown Toronto) that blends architectural leadership with hands-on coding at the highest level of complexity. You’ll guide technical decisions across projects, mentor engineers, and influence system-wide architecture — while still diving deep into the most interesting and challenging coding problems across our suite of products. You’ll design and deliver enterprise-scale SaaS applications, mentor engineers, and help shape the future of our platform.

What You Will Do

  • Provide technical leadership and architectural guidance for enterprise-scale SaaS applications
  • Contribute hands-on to the most critical coding projects, solving complex engineering problems
  • Drive the design and implementation of Java- and cloud-based systems
  • Ensure scalability, reliability, and security across distributed systems and RESTful APIs
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align technical direction with business goals
  • Write clean, testable, maintainable code and elevate team practices around testing and quality
  • Mentor engineers at all levels and raise the bar for design, code reviews, and system thinking
  • What You Will Bring

  • 10+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Deep expertise in Java (core Java, Java 8/11/17)
  • Strong cloud platform experience (minimum 3 years in AWS)
  • Proven success building and scaling web technologies / SaaS products
  • Proficiency with SQL and relational database design; exposure to NoSQL a plus
  • Experience with microservices, RESTful APIs, distributed systems
  • Familiarity with DevOps, Docker/Kubernetes, Agile development
  • Bonus: JavaScript experience and/or TDD background
  • Additional Information
