You'll be joining a dynamic environment where you'll collaborate with designers, product managers, and fellow developers. Key responsibilities include developing backend services, designing enterprise-level APIs, implementing testing strategies, and contributing to AWS-based deployment and monitoring. The ideal candidate brings 4+ years of backend development experience, strong database knowledge, and excellent collaborative skills.

The position offers a comprehensive interview process including a technical assessment, multiple interviews, and a live coding session. CapIntel values diversity and maintains an inclusive workplace where people excel based on merit and performance. The company offers a remote work environment with opportunities to work from major Canadian cities including Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto.

This role is perfect for a mid-level developer who enjoys working with modern technologies, values clean code practices, and wants to make an impact in the financial technology sector.
