Original job description

About the Role

At Checkfront, we're builders, doers, and difference-makers, driven by a shared mission to reshape the tours, activities, and experiences industry. Alongside our sister brands, Rezdy and Regiondo, we power more than 20,000 businesses and support over $10B in bookings globally. Our technology helps operators thrive while delivering unforgettable moments to travelers around the world.

We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join the Checkfront team. Checkfront is an established SaaS platform in the tours and activities industry with real customers and meaningful scale. The team is focused on maintaining and improving the product with work spanning reliability, performance, retention, maintainability, and new feature development.

As a Staff Engineer, you’ll work closely with engineering, product, and customer-facing teams to help the team deliver well-scoped, high-quality work while improving the health and stability of the platform over time.

We’re looking for an experienced, product-focused engineer who can raise the technical bar, identify the right seams for improvement, reduce risk, and help the team move faster with confidence.

What You’ll Do

Provide technical leadership on maintenance, reliability, performance, and product development work
Partner with Product to understand requirements, clarify technical constraints, and shape implementation plans
Collaborate with stakeholders to understand customer pain points, production issues, and operational risks
Improve delivery quality through better patterns, thoughtful code review, clearer technical plans, and stronger rollout practices
Identify opportunities to improve testability, observability, reliability, and maintainability
Help the team reduce technical debt incrementally without disrupting ongoing product delivery
Mentor other engineers through technical guidance, pairing, code review, and design discussions
Contribute to process improvements that help the team plan, deliver, and operate more effectively over time

What We’re Looking For

You may be a fit for this role if you:

Have significant experience as a senior or staff-level software engineer on product-focused teams
Are comfortable working in large, mature, or complex codebases
Know how to make incremental improvements that reduce risk and improve maintainability over time
Can balance customer needs, business priorities, technical debt, and delivery risk
Care deeply about reliability, performance, testability, and operational quality
Can create technical clarity from complex systems, unclear boundaries, and imperfect abstractions
Communicate clearly and directly with engineers, product managers, support teams, and other stakeholders
Can use AI-assisted development tools thoughtfully and effectively while maintaining strong engineering judgement
Can help improve team process without being dogmatic about methodology
Lead through influence, example, and technical credibility rather than authority
Enjoy mentoring other engineers and helping a team raise its overall level of execution
Are pragmatic, steady, and thoughtful when working on business-critical systems

Nice to Have

Experience in booking, ecommerce, travel, tours and activities, or other operationally complex domains
Experience modernizing older systems incrementally while continuing to ship customer-facing work
Strong PHP experience in production environments
Strong experience with React, Postgres, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and observability tooling
Experience improving test coverage, deployment confidence, incident response, or production diagnostics

The expected salary range for this position is $150,000 - $210,000 CAD, with final compensation based on experience, skills, and qualifications.
