Software Developer - Applications

About the role

As a Software Developer at Nakisa, you will design, build, and maintain scalable, cloud-native applications used by Fortune 1000 companies around the world. Working within an Agile team, you will contribute to the full software lifecycle — from architecture and design through implementation, testing, and deployment — helping evolve our product portfolio to meet the highest standards of performance, reliability, and security. You will collaborate closely with Product, QA, and DevOps as part of our continued shift toward NoOps-driven, cloud-native delivery.

What you'll be doing

• Design, develop, and maintain backend services and their corresponding frontend components.

• Design and optimize APIs, database schemas, and system architectures.

• Write clean, well-tested, and maintainable code that follows established best practices and design patterns.

• Collaborate with Product, QA, and DevOps teams to deliver high-quality software on schedule.

• Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and technical decision-making.

• Take ownership of assigned components, ensuring their performance, scalability, and reliability, and support related production issues.

• Work within an Agile, Test-Driven Development (TDD) environment, contributing to sprint planning and continuous improvement.

• Use AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT/Codex) to improve development speed and code quality.

• Continuously explore and help introduce new technologies, tools, and best practices across the team.

What you bring

• A genuine passion for software development — you enjoy the craft, take pride in your code, and are always looking for a better way to build something.

• A strong drive to learn: you're eager to pick up our stack (Java, Spring Boot, Vue.js, and beyond) and quickly become fluent in new tools, frameworks, and technologies.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience, with a solid foundation in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and common design patterns.

• Curiosity about full stack development — comfortable moving between backend (Java, Spring Boot, RESTful APIs) and frontend (Vue.js, Angular, or React) work, and excited to deepen that range.

• A self-starter mindset: you take ownership of problems, ask good questions, and are comfortable working both independently and as part of an Agile team.

• Strong problem-solving instincts and a genuine enjoyment of technical challenges.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the openness to give and receive feedback in code reviews and design discussions.

• Comfort thriving in a fast-paced, evolving environment where priorities and technologies shift.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience with Java 17+ and building scalable applications using microservice architecture.

• Proficiency with DevOps and containerization tools such as Docker, Kubernetes, and Jenkins.

• Knowledge of cloud computing environments (AWS, Azure) and CI/CD pipelines.

• Familiarity with front-end build tools (Webpack, Babel) and state management libraries (Vuex, Pinia, or similar).

• Experience with data engineering tools such as Apache Kafka, Apache Airflow, Elasticsearch, or Apache Flink.

• Experience with data visualization libraries such as D3.js, Plotly, or ECharts.

• Understanding of the HR or Financial domain space.

• Proficiency in French and English is an asset for collaboration across our Quebec-based and global teams.

What's in it for you?

• Work on cutting-edge, cloud-native applications as part of a dynamic and forward-thinking team.

• Be part of a company that values continuous learning, innovation, and professional growth.

• Location: Montréal (hybrid).
• Visa or relocation: not available.
• Hiring process: recruiter conversation, hiring manager interview, and a panel or skills assessment depending on the role.
• Apply even if not a perfect match: potential and drive matter here.
