About Proof

We're Proof, a high growth company in the legal tech industry founded in 2017. We've built a best-in-class legal services platform used by thousands of law firms with a sustained average growth rate of over 10%. Our marketplace platform helps law firms and pro se parties access more efficient, transparent, and accessible legal services that are not traditionally available to everyone. Our primary services are Service of Process and E‑Filing. We currently support over 3,000 law firms throughout the US and countless pro se parties.

We welcome people from all backgrounds who seek the opportunity to help build a future where access to legal services is readily available, affordable, and efficient. Work with us if you have the curiosity, passion, and collaborative spirit to achieve the fundamental change in an outdated industry.

What You’ll Do

  • Design, develop, and maintain backend services and APIs that power the Proof platform.
  • Build and optimize services in Go (Golang), with a focus on performance, reliability, and scalability.
  • Work with databases : design schemas, write efficient queries, and optimize data access patterns.
  • Implement and maintain integrations with internal services and third‑party providers.
  • Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, scalability challenges, and security risks in backend systems.
  • Collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams, including Product and Design, to deliver high‑impact features and improvements within an agile development environment.
  • Conduct thorough code reviews, uphold best practices, and contribute to a culture of technical excellence. Provide mentorship and guidance to less experienced developers when required.
  • Contribute to the ongoing evolution of the platform by identifying areas for improvement and proactively suggesting and implementing new technologies and methodologies.

What You Bring

  • 1–3 years of backend or full‑stack development experience, with a strong emphasis on backend systems and services.
  • Proven experience with Go (Golang) or other modern backend programming languages in production environments, particularly in designing and implementing robust APIs and backend systems.
  • Familiarity with frontend technologies (e.g., React, TypeScript) is a plus, primarily to collaborate effectively with frontend engineers.
  • Strong understanding of database management and experience integrating databases with backend systems.
  • Strong knowledge of RESTful services; exposure to GraphQL is an advantage.
  • Experience with automated testing and CI / CD pipelines, ensuring high‑quality, reliable code.
  • Excellent problem‑solving skills, with the ability to debug, optimize, and refactor complex backend systems.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with experience working in remote teams and an agile environment.
  • A proactive, self‑driven mindset with a desire to continuously learn, improve, and take ownership.
  • Compensation And Benefits

  • Salary range 111,000 - 145,000 CAD based on experience and location
  • Full‑time, salary, remote position
  • Flexible Time off and paid holidays
  • Comprehensive benefits package, including healthcare, dental, life, and long‑term disability
