Full Time Permanent
Indiv Contributor
Kitchener, ON, CA

Bridgit is a community of hard-working people who want to make a difference in the construction industry. Some of us have been here since the early days, while some joined more recently. Our average tenure is 3+ years and every employee survey tells us that our team loves the people they work with at Bridgit. We are proud of our average tenure but we also know that there is no such thing as ‘one size fits all’ and sometimes individual and organizational goals simply don’t align.

We can talk about the perks and benefits that our team members are entitled to but those are icing on the cake. What you really get out of our environment is OPPORTUNITY – to build your career portfolio, to affect change (in your own team and in an industry as big as construction), to touch and solve problems you otherwise wouldn’t have known, to grow in ways you probably haven’t thought of. Here’s the fine print though – opportunities are only as big as the heart you put into it. That’s why we’re not for everyone.

In the last 3 years, our team members have been part of reaching the following milestones:

• A successful product pivot and building a market-winning position
• Series B Financing
• Top tier performance across all SaaS Metrics
• Paving the path to profitability 
• The transition to remote-first working environment

Bridgit is like a big personality that walks into a room – you either love it or you hate it, but there’s no way you’ll ignore it. When loved, we’re loved fiercely. The ones who succeed here know how that feels.

We’re looking for an experienced developer who loves learning and building things with JavaScript to join our team. You’ll plan and build robust systems that scale and, most importantly, make our customers happy. Joining us as an experienced developer you’ll be designing, experimenting, testing, and building new solutions and extending existing ones, with a primary focus of enhancing user experience. We’ve got some big plans and you’ll be participating in their execution from day one. Your focus will be the Bridgit Bench React/Redux-based web client.

You can expect to work on Bridgit Bench which:

• Runs on AWS
• Leverages both GraphQL and REST APIs
• Presents as a modern React/Redux SPA web client
• Is made up of services running TypeScript, C# (.NET Core), and Go
• Runs in Kubernetes on infrastructure managed as code with Terraform
• Is continually deployed to production via automated CI/CD pipelines and trunk-based branching

What you will bring
Current and future Bridgitrons embody these core values:

• Deliver results, fast. We are resourceful, adaptable and resilient. We hold ourselves accountable.
• Fixate on the customer. We obsess over our customers, seeking to better understand them, their world, their needs and their behaviours.
• Be open, be honest. We keep our minds open as we actively exchange feedback, drawing on our diverse perspectives.
• Win or lose together. We don’t point fingers when we lose, and we celebrate together when we win.
• Never stop learning. We continually set the bar higher.

Does that sound like you? Great! Here’s what else you’ll need:

• Experience building quality software with a solid understanding of JavaScript (and, ideally React & Redux, leveraging REST and GraphQL APIs)
• Experience working closely with design and user experience and can write performant code
• You know how to make CSS and HTML behave and maybe even bend to your will
• A desire to teach and learn from your peers
• Experience developing and shipping SaaS products
• A desire to be part of a strong team
• Experience developing & debugging single page web applications (SPAs)
• A desire to stay up to date on current technologies and development methods
• A degree/diploma in Computer Science, Engineering, or ample practical experience

What you will enjoy

• A collaborative, autonomous environment where you can make an impact quickly
• A culture that encourages innovation and professional growth
• Competitive salary and equity options
• Perks and benefits including unlimited vacation, 4-hour Fridays and extended long weekends
