Are you passionate about tackling technical challenges and delivering impactful solutions? As a Senior Software Developer at Orium, you'll collaborate with high-profile enterprise clients to shape digital experiences that reach thousands of users daily. Leveraging composable commerce architecture and a design system, you’ll lead front-end development for eCommerce projects within an Agile framework. Your role will also integrate third-party eCommerce components to create seamless, functional solutions.

Reporting directly to the Manager of Software Development, you'll play a key role in enhancing our development practices and driving innovation across our projects. If you’re excited by the prospect of influencing the future of commerce while honing your skills in a dynamic environment, we’d love to hear from you.

Responsibilities

• Support and mentor developers in designing and implementing project work, ensuring high-quality deliverables. 
• Collaborate with designers and the Product Manager to prioritize, estimate, and plan work, ensuring projects are delivered on time and within budget.
• Maintain transparency by proactively updating stakeholders on project progress, challenges, and decision-making rationale.
• Create and maintain technical documentation and diagrams to clearly communicate design solutions with both project stakeholders and clients.
• Engage with clients to gather requirements, provide regular project updates, and address concerns or questions in a timely manner.
• Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code following best practices and coding standards.
• Participate in code reviews, offering constructive feedback to maintain high code quality and consistency across the team.

Skills and Qualifications

• 5+ years of industry experience as a full-stack JavaScript developer, with front-end and back-end development expertise.
• Experience in eCommerce or retail POS/OMS systems technology.
• Strong proficiency in modern web technologies, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React.js, GraphQL, Next.js, Node.js, Chakra UI, React Query, and TypeScript.

Is the Role a Fit for You?

The Senior Developer role emphasizes team collaboration, technical proficiency, and leadership in your area of expertise. You’ll find fulfillment in the role if you:

• Delight in making things. You thrill at the concept of going beyond the theoretical and applying your ideas, skills, and expertise to products used by people every day.
• Find passion in new challenges. Every chance to learn and move things forward with your can-do attitude or to share your entrepreneurship excites you.
• Thoroughly enjoy collaborative work. Knowledge sharing and the chance to be part of a team who co-owns the output, instead of a solo hero who lives and dies by their work alone, is important to you.

Benefits and Perks

• Enjoy a flexible schedule of full-time hours. As a remote-first organization, we care about the work you do, but it’s up to you to choose where and how you do it. 
• Explore ongoing opportunities for professional development: training, conferences, certifications, and in-house peer mentorship. 
• Experiment with new techniques, wear multiple hats and learn about new disciplines. 
• Pursue independent projects, explore new ideas, and challenge yourself in your field with dedicated “Awesome time” (self-directed professional development) annually and quarterly training budgets. 
• On top of standard medical and dental coverage, we offer benefits like a parental leave top-up plan, an EAP, mental health coverage, virtual healthcare and a minimum vacation policy. 
• Additional perks are available including in-house mindfulness sessions, remote group get-togethers, and more!
• The Canada Base Salary Range for this role is $110,000 - $130,000 CAD. Orium lists this range in good faith, reflecting the expected base salary for this role in the specified locations as of this posting. The pay offered will depend on several relevant factors, such as education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, location, and business needs. Please note, this range does not include any benefits that may be included as part of the total compensation package.

Performance and Growth Expectations

We emphasize accountability for outcomes, but autonomy in activities. Your work will be measured across a number of data points (peer, leader & project team feedback) and will also be measured on the basis of client and user satisfaction. Your growth path is in your hands— you’ll have ongoing meetings with your leader to help determine your path, but your progress will be based on what you hope to achieve and how you choose to access the resources available to you.
