Full-Time Position – Remote, Toronto (ON) preferred

Micruity helps Americans retire securely

Micruity is on a mission to make secure retirement income accessible to all Americans. Too many people get to retirement age and are forced to figure out how to make a lump sum of money last over an unpredictable lifetime.

Micruity provides the data network that enables the pensionization of defined contribution plans.
Plan recordkeepers, life insurers, asset managers, and other stakeholders (our “partners”) can easily build and distribute lifetime income products using Micruity’s API suite and infrastructure.
Micruity's solution enables a more efficient, cost effective and secure ecosystem for all stakeholders in the retirement marketplace to flourish.

The end result? Individuals have access to secure retirement income products through their
401(k) plan, getting them a step closer to their financial wellness goals.

Micruity has the talent and financial backing to succeed

With backing from leading investors in the InsurTech and FinTech space and a management team with almost 50 years of collective entrepreneurial experience, Micruity has the expertise it needs to revolutionize the retirement industry in a meaningful way.

We reward big thinkers, hard workers, ambition, and honesty. Our team is full of fun-loving professionals, and we enjoy happy hours and spending time together at industry events. Not a requirement, but nerding out over math happens often.

Who we’re looking for

The Intermediate FullStack/API Developer (FS) role is for an experienced software developer who loves designing and implementing elegant software solutions. The FS contributes their technical know-how to Micruity’s APIs and the applications that rely on those APIs.

When not busy performing these functions, the FS will contribute to the rest of our product stack and create new solutions that are clean, stable, scaleable, and ultra-secure. We expect intermediates to suggest refinements to the technical stack, be able to contribute across the entire product stack, as well as oversee the integrity of the codebase.

Finally, the ideal candidate should be intimately familiar and up to date with their development ecosystem – making sound decisions when it comes to choosing the right tool or library for the job.

What you’ll do

• Support multiple projects, implement refinements to our APIs and full-stack cloud applications – either independently or as part of a team.

• Take ownership of full-stack feature delivery, from conception and design to coding and deployment.

• Help keep API documentation consistent with actuality.

• Ensure the codebase stays stable, readable, and free of technical debt, while building & improving code across the entire stack.

• Identify opportunities for improvement and make constructive suggestions for change.
• Participate in professional development opportunities including training.
• Provide mentorship to junior team members, participate in design decisions, and collaborate in technical reviews.
• Occasionally assist with recruitment, e.g. interviewing new team members.
• Help define our engineering culture and build our “dev machine”.

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience as a professional software developer.
• Expert level familiarity with modern Javascript (ES6) and intimate knowledge of the JS ecosystem (tooling, libraries, etc.), and writing idiomatic Javascript code.
• Web development knowledge (i.e. HTML, CSS, JS) and REST APIs.
• High level familiarity with one or more front-end frameworks, especially React.
• Understanding of performance implications and scalability of code.
• Experience with large, complex code bases and know how to modify or maintain them.
• Strong familiarity with software fundamentals such as data structures, algorithms, and databases.
• Keenness for writing good, meaningful tests and maintaining thorough test coverage.
• Well developed written and verbal communications skills, including the ability to read, write, and speak English.
• Ability to legally work in Canada or the US.

Great to have

• B.Sc. degree in Computer Science or related discipline.
• Experience with the AWS ecosystem of products.
• Experience in the Financial Services industry (Defined Contribution Plan administration,

Annuity product design or operations, etc.).

• An entrepreneurial attitude, i.e. willing to roll up their sleeves and solve complex, all-hands-on-deck problems.

Our Tech Stack

• Javascript codebase: NodeJS, Express.
• React front-end.
• REST, Socket.IO, GraphQL.
• PostgreSQL DB, Sequelize ORM.
