[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer @Funded.club

Role Description

Onboard in minutes, and forget about it. We have infrastructure all over the world, and right now we are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Engineering team. This is a software engineering role first: you will spend most of your time writing software that eliminates operational work, not doing operational work by hand. You do not need to arrive knowing our stack in depth. You will learn it here.

• Design, write, review, test, and ship software that improves the availability, scalability, latency, and efficiency of our services.
• Turn operational work into engineering work: every repeated task, checklist, or validation becomes automation.
• Define SLOs with stakeholders and build the monitoring and alerting that enforces them.
• Debug production issues across the whole stack, from application code down through Linux and the network.
• Lead blameless postmortems and root cause analyses, then land the fix that eliminates the entire class of problem.
• Plan capacity and cost with data; document what you build so others can operate it.
• Join our critical incident response team in an established on-call rotation.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering or Computer Science or similar.
• 5+ years of professional software development in one or more general-purpose languages. Go preferred; Python, Rust, and C/C++ are also great.
• Automation you personally built — a tool, service, operator, distributed system, or auto-remediation system that eliminated real operational work.
• Experience designing, analyzing, and troubleshooting distributed systems in production.
• Solid Linux fundamentals, containers, and infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible, or equivalents).
• Observability as a builder: you instrument your own code (Prometheus, Grafana, or equivalents).

Requirements

• If your experience is primarily operating, configuring, and troubleshooting software that other people built — systems administration, NOC, or infrastructure operations under an SRE title — this role will not be a fit.
• If your observability and reliability experience is primarily advisory — SLO frameworks, dashboards, and monitoring strategy, without software you built to act on those signals — this role will not be a fit either.

Bonus If You Have

• Deep DNS knowledge (BIND / PowerDNS / Unbound, record types, resolution paths, DNSSEC).
• Routing experience: unicast, anycast, BGP.
• Linux networking depth: iptables / nftables, eBPF, performance tuning.
• VPN protocols (OpenVPN / WireGuard / IKEv2).
• Experience with bare metal fleets, hypervisors, or networking hardware (JunOS / VyOS).
• High-availability databases (MySQL, Postgres, Redis) and load balancers (HAProxy, nginx).

Compensation

• 140K - 180K CAD
• Stock options
