Lead Software Engineer - Software product

100% Remote

We are currently recruiting a Tech Lead for a fast-growing Québec-based technology company undergoing a major transformation toward a true Product & Technology (P&T) organization.

The company is making significant investments in building its own cloud-native platform to gradually replace legacy commercial software. This platform will become the technological foundation of the business and, over time, has the potential to evolve into a commercial software product.

This is more than a traditional Tech Lead opportunity.

You'll help build a strategic software platform that will shape the company's technological future.

We're looking for a passionate technical leader who enjoys remaining hands-on, influencing architectural decisions, mentoring developers, and helping build a modern cloud platform from the ground up.

Responsibilities

• Actively contribute to the development and evolution of a modern cloud platform.
• Serve as the technical leader and primary technical reference for the development team.
• Partner closely with the VP of Architecture to transform architectural vision into scalable technical solutions.
• Mentor developers through coaching, code reviews and engineering best practices.
• Design robust service-oriented (SOA) and distributed software architectures.
• Develop APIs and integrations between multiple internal and external systems.
• Participate in architectural, scalability, performance and platform evolution decisions.
• Improve DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing and software delivery processes.
• Participate in production deployments and ensure platform reliability.
• Produce and maintain high-quality technical documentation.
• Collaborate with teams working on Artificial Intelligence initiatives to progressively integrate AI capabilities into the platform.

Qualifications

• Experience as a Tech Lead, Lead Developer, Senior Software Engineer or hands-on Software Architect.
• Strong background building software products rather than only delivering client projects.
• Excellent understanding of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Microservices and REST APIs.
• Experience designing integrations and distributed systems.
• Experience with C#, .NET, Python or comparable technologies.
• Experience with React or another modern Front-End framework.
• Experience with Microsoft Azure, AWS or another cloud platform.
• Good understanding of DevOps, CI/CD and production deployment practices.
• Experience mentoring developers, performing code reviews and providing technical leadership.
• Experience documenting technical solutions using Confluence or similar tools.
• Strong communication, collaboration and problem-solving skills.
• Curious, adaptable and passionate about continuous learning.

What Will Make You Successful

• You enjoy building products, not just delivering projects.
• You naturally take ownership of the software you develop.
• You think long-term and enjoy solving architectural challenges.
• You enjoy both software engineering and mentoring developers.
• You're recognized for your technical rigor, autonomy and ability to deliver.
• You thrive in environments where engineering excellence and innovation are valued.

Employment Details

• Permanent full-time position (35 hours/week)
• 100% remote available (Offices in Montreal or Quebec city)
• Salary: $140,000 - $180,000+, depending on experience
• Annual bonus
• Group RRSP with employer contribution
• Comprehensive group insurance including telemedicine, health spending account and wellness account
• Vacation based on experience
• Additional personal days and birthday leave
• Professional development program and training reimbursement

Why Join This Team?

• Be part of a major Product & Technology transformation.
• Help build a cloud platform developed entirely in-house.
• Influence key software architecture and engineering decisions.
• Work directly with the VP of Innovation & Architecture.
• Join an environment where innovation, ownership and technical excellence are highly valued.
• Remain hands-on while continuing to grow your technical leadership.
• Contribute to a long-term vision where the platform may eventually evolve into a commercial software product.
