ELX-004 Senior Backend Engineer

Canada-wide Remote

Our Client is on a mission to make the workplace a source of learning and purpose. We believe that writing is the best way for teams to retain and share knowledge. Since the beginning, we've been fanatically focused on building the best knowledge base for every team.

As an engineering team, we deeply care about solving our users' pain points as well as our engineering quality. We thrive on learning from each other. Our team has been globally remote from the start, so we have the infrastructure to support flexible work arrangements.

Our frontend team is responsible for delivering the experience that our users love. You'll be working on our React-based web app with a small group of very experienced frontend engineers from Airbnb, Salesforce, and YC startups. The team also maintains the most popular JavaScript WYSIWYG editor, Quill.

We are backed by top-tier investors, including Matrix Partners, CRV, and NEA. Our Client is trusted by thousands of teams, such as Asana, Vox Media, and Vevo.
