Staff Developer (Remote - Canada)

Join our small, fiery team on our mission to usher in the Bitcoin golden age.

Shakepay is one of the fastest growing startups in Canada. We’ve grown 10x in the last year. 2% of Canadians use Shakepay. We’re building something really special. We need true believers to join our team. We’re looking for ambitious professionals with a thirst for knowledge that are interested in working with the most exciting financial innovation ever created: Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is important because it enables wealth to be stored with a person without need for a third party. Its fundamental use-case as a store of value with a predictable monetary policy is having profound implications on freeing people into financial sovereignty.

Staff Developer

We are entering a new age for financial services. Legacy banking products are built on old, decaying technology while new experiences are being constructed from the ground up.

You will recreate how people are meant to build wealth. Bitcoin is enabling a world that could not previously be designed and you will be the one building customer experiences at Shakepay.

You will:

• Participate in building financial products of the future


• Foster innovation as you architect products and features while maintaining a high bar for quality, scale, and performance


• Mentor engineers through code reviews and team discussion


• Collaborate on setting a tech vision for the company


• Have an influence across the entire Engineering organization, with correspondingly large impact to customers and the company.

Must have:

• 8+ years working experience as a software developer


• Be comfortable working across the tech stack


• Extensive knowledge of engineering processes, structural design, and system optimization

Nice to have:

• Experience with Node.js, React-Native, Vue, Postgres, Docker


• Experience with building financial apps


• Some bitcoin knowledge

What you get:

• Potentially life-changing stock options. We believe everyone at Shakepay should have the financial upside for building a generational company


• Remote-friendly work environment: work from anywhere in Canada. If you’re in Montreal, you can work from the office


• Generous vacation time: we think time off is essential, and highly encourage it


• Personal development: we’re here to help you define and hit your personal career goals so that you can get where you want to be


• Continued learning: every Shaker gets a yearly budget to spend on learning


• Employer-covered group insurance: health, dental, paramedical, disability and travel coverage to ensure you’re at your best


• Get paid in Bitcoin: choose to take a percentage of your salary in the hardest, soundest money the world has ever known


• A collaborative and friendly team: we succeed together and we have fun doing it


• MacBook: company-issued laptop to make sure you’re doing your best work


• Equipment stipend: every Shaker receives a stipend to use toward setting up their home office

If you don’t meet all the requirements but believe you would be a great fit for this role then give us your pitch and tell us why.
