Original job description

7shifts is a scheduling and payroll platform designed to help restaurant teams thrive. With an easy-to-use app and industry-specific solutions, 7shifts saves time, reduces errors, and helps keep costs in check for over 55,000 restaurants. Our mission is to simplify team management and improve performance for restaurants, with a long-term vision of creating a thriving restaurant industry through the power of connected & engaged teams.

As an Intermediate Software Developer, Mid-Market at 7shifts, you'll be one of the founding engineers on our mid-market squad - the team responsible for building the foundational systems that serve restaurant groups with real complexity: multiple locations, layered permissions, and the need for rollup visibility across their entire operation. You're a full-cycle builder, taking features from technical design to deployment, owning your work end-to-end and making pragmatic technical decisions that ship. You'll work closely with a product counterpart, the data team, and report into a Director of Software Development. AI is part of the toolkit here - you use it actively, you know when to reach for it, and you hold the bar on what ships.

The work is greenfield in the places that count. You'll contribute to defining the data structures that power rollup reporting for multi-location operators and help build a permissions and authorization system that properly supports role-based access control (RBAC) at scale. The expectation is a beta of rollup reports delivered across a few dimensions and the architectural path for the permissions system defined and in early development. This is not a backlog of tickets. It's a chance to help shape systems used every day by over 1.5 million restaurant workers.

What you'll do:

Build and maintain the data structures and pipelines that power rollup reporting for multi-location restaurant groups, contributing across the full stack from schema work through to delivery
Contribute to the development of a new permissions and authorization system, implementing components as the architecture takes shape and flagging issues as you find them
Use AI-assisted development tools as an active part of your workflow, generating, reviewing, and validating output with the same rigour you'd apply to any production code
Collaborate with senior engineers, your product counterpart, and the data team to translate requirements into pragmatic, maintainable solutions
Take ownership of production issues, leading the investigation and resolution of bugs and customer-reported problems
Contribute to our engineering culture by actively participating in technical discussions and consistently improving our team's processes and standards
Drive your work from concept to completion, making sound technical decisions and consistently delivering value to users

What you bring:

A degree or diploma in computer science, software engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
Professional experience building, deploying, and maintaining web applications and services in a team environment
Comfort working in a greenfield codebase - you can move forward when the full picture isn't defined yet and know when to ask rather than assume
Solid understanding of relational databases and backend development, with enough foundation to contribute meaningfully to data modeling and permissions work as it takes shape
A proven track record of shipping high-quality code with a strong sense of ownership - you see work through to done, not just to PR open
Clear communication, especially when things are unclear - you surface blockers early, ask good questions, and keep teammates informed
A proactive work ethic with the ability to manage your own priorities and make sound technical trade-offs with guidance
Experience leveraging AI development tools (e.g., Claude) as a real part of how you work, not just experimentation
A customer-focused mindset and genuine interest in building products that solve real problems

It'd be even cooler if you had:

Hands-on experience with data lake or warehouse tooling such as Snowflake, BigQuery, or AWS equivalents
Background in a domain where accuracy, reliability, and real-time data were business-critical
Experience in restaurant-tech, delivering customer-focused solutions
Hands-on experience using Elixir in a production environment

This role is an existing vacancy and is part of our current hiring plan

Compensation

The base compensation range for this position is CAD $95,000 - $135,000. This range reflects the full growth path for the role, from building core skills to accomplished performance, through to role mastery. We typically target the accomplished level when hiring externally. At this level, individuals bring relevant experience in the role, demonstrate strong job-related skills, operate with confidence and consistency, and are able to deliver impact with limited ramp-up while still having meaningful opportunity to grow.

Compensation at 7shifts is performance and growth-driven. As you develop your skills and expand your impact over time, your compensation grows with you. Your specific placement within this range is based on your job-related skills, knowledge, and experience, as well as our internal equity assessment. We are always happy to discuss our approach throughout the hiring process.

Our commitment to our Shifties:

Opportunity: Our product is evolving in exciting ways, and we’re focused on delivering even more value to restaurants. This momentum creates real opportunities to learn and grow. Whether you’re honing your craft or exploring new paths, you’ll be supported and empowered to own your growth and impact a product shaping the future of the restaurant industry.
Challenge: We’re tackling real problems in a fast-moving, complex industry. The work is scrappy and ambiguous, but meaningful. You’ll think critically, act with intention, and shape solutions that make a real difference for restaurant teams.
Culture: We’re proud to be recognized among the best workplaces in North America. Guided by our mission and values, we move fast to solve meaningful problems and celebrate wins together. Whether through in-office and remote events, team offsites like Sparks, or everyday moments of connection, we create space for shared growth, collaboration, and fun.
Equity: We’re a Series C, VC-backed SaaS company, and we believe everyone should share in the success they help create. When we build together, we grow together.
Health and Wellness: We support Shifties in and outside of work, knowing that what people need can change over time. From day one, you’ll have access to benefits like health and dental, lifestyle spending accounts to a parental leave program built with flexibility in mind, to help you bring your best self to work.
Flexibility: Our team is intentional around how and where we work, whether remotely, in person, or a mix of both. We prioritize candidates who thrive in a hybrid work environment with offices in Saskatoon and Toronto, ensuring in-person collaboration and connection when possible. Plus, we offer a flexible vacation policy to encourage everyone to recharge when needed. Oh, and our ‘90 Day Shift’ program lets Shift work from (almost) anywhere because who wouldn’t want to trade their desk for a beach view once in a while?
Support: We set Shifties up for success with the tools they need, like the latest Apple tech, a home office setup, and some 7shifts swag to make it official. But support goes beyond day one. We’re serious about professional growth, offering coaching, feedback, development planning, and opportunities to grow from within.

We know you might not check every box, and that’s okay. If you’re excited about this role, inspired to contribute to a meaningful product, and eager to share ideas that drive real change, we’d love to hear from you. We’re building an inclusive team that reflects the diverse industry we serve, and we welcome applicants from all backgrounds.

We thank you for your interest in joining the 7shifts team!
