Backend / Microservices Developer ->Images and SVG as Code - JS/C++/Go

We’re looking for an engineer who can work on creating beautiful images algorithmically by enhancing and empowering our internal image design language and building flexible image processing tools. This can be a project based, part time, or full time role.

For this role/project, you’ll be working with images through code. You’ll contribute to and enhance our typescript based design language and build image processing tools as microservices in the language best suited to the task. You’ll work closely with other engineers to create images from code algorithmically, optimize and speed up rendering and delivery, and break pieces out into highly optimized microservices.

(That doesn’t mean you have to be in Canada, just that you would qualify as a Canadian resident)

What you’ll do

  • Use and build best practices to develop clean, efficient and reusable code
  • Contribute to and shape the future of images as code and our design language
  • Build highly optimized microservices to render, manipulate, modify, and convert images 
  • Continuously improve our codebase and drive architectural changes when necessary

What we offer

You’ll work with other passionate remote developers and help
build a product that will be shared with millions of people. We offer complete remote flexibility, part or full time roles, a flexible vacation policy (4 weeks), an annual company meetup (COVID permitting), a monthly allowance for coffees and snacks, and a program that lets you expense books of any kind to encourage learning. Our philosophy is simple—hire diverse, passionate people and foster a culture that empowers hard work and growth for everyone. We'll try to do everything to make sure you feel nourished, motivated, and supported. We want communicative, talented, organized people who get things done, just like us.
