Lead Full Stack Software Engineer at Perch, shaping a new engineering team for mortgage decision support. Collaborating on core platform features and technical leadership with modern technologies.
Responsibilities
Own the technical execution of systems and make sure they evolve in a predictable, well-structured way.
Provide oversight across engineers on the team, validating scoping, risk assessment, and breakdown of unknowns.
Support the growth of engineers at all levels through design guidance and mentorship.
Spot systemic risks and cross-goal dependencies early, before they turn into blockers.
Design, build, and maintain features across Angular, Node.js/Express, and PostgreSQL.
Improve DevOps and CI/CD infrastructure on AWS using Terraform.
Run rapid prototyping efforts to validate new ideas quickly, using AI tools and whatever tech fits the problem.
Work closely with product, design, and business stakeholders to turn goals into clear technical plans.
Requirements
Living and eligible to work in Canada.
You've operated at a Lead or strong Senior level before, owning system-level technical execution and not just shipping individual features.
Strong with Angular, TypeScript, Node.js, and Express.
Solid experience with PostgreSQL or similar relational databases.
Hands-on experience with AWS and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or similar).
You know how to structure initiatives: breaking unknowns into investigations, scoping tasks into goals, and building realistic timelines.
You've provided oversight to other engineers before, whether that's validating designs, reviewing estimates, or coaching through tough problems.
Comfortable picking up new technologies quickly, including AI-assisted development tools.
You communicate well with both technical and non-technical people.
Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing.
Benefits
Fully remote, flexible hours.
You'd be shaping a new team from the ground up, with real ownership and influence over how it operates.
Perch has a defined engineering career ladder with transparent salary bands, so your path forward is clear.
The work matters: you're helping Canadians navigate one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives.
