Original job description

Who We Are

At Justworks, you’ll enjoy a welcoming and casual environment, great benefits, wellness program offerings, company retreats, and the ability to interact with and learn from leaders in the startup community. We work hard and care about our most prized asset - our people.

We’re helping businesses get off the ground by enabling them to focus on running their business. We solve HR issues. We’re data-driven and never stop iterating. If you’d like to work in a supportive, entrepreneurial environment, are interested in building something meaningful and having fun while doing it, we’d love to hear from you.

We're united by shared goals and shared motivations at Justworks. These are best summed up in our company values, which are reflected in our product and in our team.

Our Values

If this sounds like you, you’ll fit right in.

Who You Are

You are self-driven and like to work with others to remove roadblocks. You are curious, and love to explore and learn new technologies. You have demonstrated the ability to build, deploy and maintain large-scale, complex applications. You care more about solutions and impacting the customer experience than using a particular tool or framework.

Your Success Profile

What You Will Work On

As a part of the Workforce Management team, you will drive our expansion into exciting new verticals, enriching our platform to attract and delight new customer segments. Your mission will be to architect and deliver foundational solutions in the Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), Contractor, and Expenses domains. Our specialized product pods focus on building lean, high-impact features for customers who want a streamlined experience without the overhead of a bloated platform.

You'll join the expenses pod in Toronto and help build the platform that handles expense submissions, approvals, and reimbursements for Justworks customers. Working alongside 3-4 senior engineers, you'll contribute to our migration from Ruby to Go, build AI-powered features, and learn how to ship production code with confidence. We value curiosity, fast iteration, and engineers who talk to customers.

How You Will Do Your Work

As an Associate Software Engineer, how results are achieved is paramount for your success and ultimately result in our success as an organization. In this role, your foundational knowledge, skills, abilities and personal attributes are anchored in the following competencies:

Good judgment - the exercise of critical thinking, analyzing and assessing problems and implications, identifying patterns, making connections of underlying issues, understanding risks and developing mitigation strategies, and taking ownership of the outcome.

Resourcefulness - taking a can-do approach, even in the face of obstacles and constraints by assessing what’s in front of you and effectively and efficiently optimizing what you have, whether it's working on something new or thinking about how to do something better.

Teamwork and communication - putting our collective best together through documentation, collaboration, relationship-building, listening, empathy, recruiting, and evangelism.Influence and leadership - fostering a community of knowledge-sharing, collaboration, mentorship, and forward-thinking.

Skills and knowledge - the capacity to actively learn and apply specific domain knowledge, know-how, and best practices to continually enhance and improve.

In addition, all Justworkers focus on aligning their behaviors to our core values known as COGIS. It stands for:

Camaraderie - Day to day you can be seen working together toward a higher purpose. You like to have fun. You’re an active listener, treat people respectfully, and have a strong desire to know and help others.
Openness - Your default is to be open. You're willing to share information, understand other perspectives, and consider new possibilities. You’re curious, ask open questions, and are receptive to thoughts and feedback from others.
Grit - You demonstrate grit by having the courage to commit and persevere. You’re committed, earnest, and dive in to get the job done well with a positive attitude.
Integrity - Simply put, do what you say and say what you'll do. You’re honest and forthright, have a strong moral compass, and strive to match your words with your actions while leading by example.
Simplicity - Be like Einstein: “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.”

Qualifications

Minimum of 1 year of professional hands-on experience.
Experience with a modern server side language and willingness to learn Golang. Our legacy is Ruby/Rails.
REST APIs; understanding how to build and consume HTTP APIs.
Proficiency in SQL. Comfort with writing queries and understands relational data models.
Product-minded approach. Comfortable working directly with product partners, navigating ambiguity, understanding customer problems, and making tradeoffs that balance technical quality with shipping value.
Curiosity about AI tooling. We use AI daily for development and are shipping AI-powered features; you don't need to be an expert, but you should be eager to experiment.

Technologies Used

Golang, Ruby on Rails, Javascript, MySQL, Kafka, AWS, Git, Memcache, Redis, ElasticSearch, Docker, Terraform, Kubernetes, CircleCI, DataDog

The base wage range for this position based in our Toronto office is targeted at $97k - $121k CAD per year.

Actual compensation is based on multiple factors that are unique to each candidate, including and not limited to skill set, level of relevant experience, and specific work location. Salary ranges for positions based in other locations may differ based on the cost of labor in that location.
