Jr Full Stack Developer (Remote)

About Button

Since 2018, Button has been building reliable technology for government and private-sector clients with the goal of creating a more sustainable future through digital transformation. Our agile, multi-disciplinary team works on truly impactful technology projects – from climate action to major funding programs. We create secure, easy-to-use systems through deliberate consideration and iteration. We are passionate about creating stronger communities through technology and continuing to grow across Canada and beyond.

Button Inc. was born out of a desire to take complex tasks and ideas and deliver them in a genuine, innovative, and impactful way. We help clients tackle hard problems and delight them with user-focused design and exceptional technical delivery. We start every engagement by making sure we’re solving the right problem with the most appropriate technical solution to meet our client’s needs.

The role

The role

Button has had the pleasure of working with this client and project for several years and we’re exciting to be expanding the team to bring on additional resources. We’re looking for a Jr Developer with 2+ years experience where you’ll be embedded with the client (Product Owner and Scrum Master) as well as our technical team of other Buttoners.

You’ll have a wide breadth of experience and exposure across the stack. You’ll have worked in an cross disciplinary remote, agile based environment. You have a propensity for working quickly and effectively through both assigned user stories and backlogged tickets and are a self learner, resourceful with your problem solving but not afraid to ask for help.

You are a skilled technical executor who fits in well to a multi-disciplinary team. You take a methodical and data-driven approach (where possible!) to tackling challenges and have the soft skills to draw out client feedback that is hiding beneath the surface.

Technical Skills & Tools

Experience with:

• API development;
• Projects with an iterative Agile Scrum process and user experience focus;
• Client-side and server-side web application development using modern programming languages, including HTML/CSS, JavaScript, Django;
• Continuous deployment environments, including software testing and test automation;
• Application deployment and containerization.

Great-to-haves

• Experience with government or service based contracts and/or consulting experience is preferred.
• You have a degree/diploma in a STEM field
• You have experience working in fast-paced startup environments
• Continuously enhancing creative and technical skills
• Experience in customer facing roles

Why Button?

This is a unique and exciting opportunity to play a key role in creating a more sustainable future through digital transformation. In addition to making a real impact, you will also receive:

• Generous total compensation plan including quarterly profit share
• 25 days of paid time off (15 vacation days, 10 sick/personal days) to ensure a healthy work-life balance
• An extra day off for your birthday! (So you’re not pushing to production on your special day )
• Full benefits package to look after you and your family, plus a health spending account
• Commitment to continuous learning and mentorship, with time provided for professional and personal development
• Remote work with flexibility when you need it, as long as you communicate clearly with your team (we value a trust-based team culture!)
