[Hiring] Senior/Staff Software Developer @Wrk Technologies

Role Description

We are looking for experienced Software Developers to join our team of entrepreneurs and automation experts, and to take our platform from the cloud to our customers' own infrastructure.

The Wrk Platform is simplifying automation. We're building a world where any process can be replicated by combining human skill sets and bots into pre-configured units of work that we call 'Wrk Actions'. These Wrk Actions are the building blocks for processes big and small, from merging spreadsheets to executing, analyzing and escalating customer service phone calls. Our business process automation solution includes thousands of API connectors, Robotic Process Automation, AI, OCR and human in the loop.

Our customers increasingly need automation that runs inside their own walls. We're building an on-premises version of the Wrk runtime: Wrkflows designed in our cloud editor, exported, and executed at the customer's site with the same behaviour as in our cloud.

• On-prem focus: build the on-prem runtime in TypeScript, from the engine to the Docker images it ships in.
• Cloud focus: build the cloud platform where customers design and test their Wrkflows, from the React UI to the APIs behind it.

You'll start on one and work across both.

Qualifications

• 7+ years building software, with strong TypeScript and working Python.
• Design contract-first and write tests that pin behaviour.
• Work with coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or similar) every day, and can show how you keep their output correct.
• Write clearly: design docs, specs and reviews are a large part of the job.

Requirements

• For the On-prem focus:
  • Have built or worked deeply on an execution runtime: a workflow engine, job runner, interpreter or similar.
  • Know Docker and Postgres well, including schema migrations on systems you couldn't simply roll back.
  • Can read an existing system and reproduce its behaviour faithfully in another language.
• For the Cloud focus:
  • Have built and maintained complex React/TypeScript applications, with experience in component architecture, state management, and frontend performance.
  • Have designed and operated production APIs in Python and/or TypeScript, with experience in API contracts, reliability, and observability.
  • Can take a design, empathize with how users will experience it, and recommend changes that improve it and make it easier to build and maintain.

Benefits

• Work from home close to Montreal. This is a remote role but we are getting a brand new office.
• Competitive annual compensation.
• We work Monday to Friday with flexible hours.
• Competitive benefits packages (includes family members). 100% of premiums are paid by the company, starting after 3 months of employment.
• Unlimited paid time off policy (we really mean it!)
• Flexible sick, personal and religious days.
