Software Engineer

Who We Are At Roadpost, we've spent years building trust with people who need to stay connected beyond cell coverage, in the world's most remote places.

That work led to ZOLEO, our global messaging platform powered by the Iridium satellite network, used by adventurers, remote workers, and enterprise teams operating off-grid.

The impact is real.

Today, we're building the next chapter.

ZOLEO is evolving from a hardware-led satellite communicator into a safety and preparedness platform, one that combines intelligent monitoring, automation, and real-time visibility to give people and their Safety Circles confidence when it matters most.

We're just getting started, and we want people who want to build it with us.

Why This Role Matters The ZOLEO Web application is how thousands of users manage their accounts, configure devices, and stay connected from any browser. As we continue to expand, this application must remain fast, reliable, and intuitive. As a Software Engineer, you will design, build, and ship features across the full stack—from high-quality React interfaces to the Node.js services and PostgreSQL data layer that power them. You'll work closely with product and design to turn user needs into production-ready solutions. This is an AI-first engineering environment. You’ll integrate tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, and agentic workflows directly into your development process—not as optional enhancements, but as core tools for building, testing, and iterating efficiently. What's In It For You Real Users, Real Impact. Your work ships to a global user base that depends on ZOLEO in some of the most challenging environments on earth. You'll see the direct impact of every feature you build and every performance improvement you land. Full-Stack Ownership.

• You'll work across the entire stack — building responsive, accessible React UIs, developing Node.js APIs, and designing PostgreSQL schemas.

You won't be siloed; you'll follow features from concept through to production. An AI-First Engineering Culture. You'll work in an environment where AI-assisted development is the norm, not the exception. You’ll go beyond autocomplete—using AI for scaffolding, debugging, testing, and exploration—and help evolve team-wide practices.

We expect you to push the boundaries of what's possible with these tools and share what you learn with the team. Growth With Mentorship. You'll collaborate with senior and staff-level engineers who care about craft and are invested in your development. You'll have room to deepen your expertise in React, distributed systems, and cloud-native development in a low-bureaucracy environment where good ideas win on merit. A Culture That Values Curiosity and Craftsmanship. We emphasize thoughtful design, code reviews, testing, and shared ownership. What You'll Do Build Polished, Performant Web Experiences. Develop and maintain React interfaces that are fast, accessible, and intuitive.

You care about component architecture, state management, and delivering UI that feels right — not just UI that works. Develop the Services Behind the Screen. Design and extend Node.js (Express) APIs and services that power the ZOLEO Web application.

Design and evolve PostgreSQL schemas and queries that are efficient, well-indexed, and built for growth. Ship With Confidence. Write meaningful tests, contribute to CI/CD pipelines, and practice test-driven development. You'll deliver production-ready code that's stable, observable, and measurable in its performance. Code With AI, Not Just With a Keyboard. Use agentic AI tools as a core part of your development workflow — for scaffolding features, generating tests, exploring approaches, and accelerating iteration. You'll be expected to develop and refine your own AI-assisted workflows and contribute to the team's evolving practices. Collaborate Across the Product. Work closely with Product Management, Design, and other engineering teams to understand requirements, refine solutions, and ensure seamless integration across ZOLEO's ecosystem. Leverage Cloud-Native Infrastructure. Work within AWS to design, deploy, and operate cloud-native systems.

Use AWS CDK to define infrastructure as code, enabling repeatable, version-controlled environments and scalable service architecture. What You Bring AI-First Mindset.

• You actively use AI coding tools — Copilot, Cursor, agentic workflows — and see them as force multipliers, not shortcuts. You're curious about how to push these tools further and eager to build new habits around AI-assisted development. Strong Full-Stack Fundamentals.
• You bring 4–6 years of professional software engineering experience with hands-on expertise in TypeScript, React, and Node.js/Express.

You understand how frontend and backend fit together and you're comfortable owning features end to end. Deep React & UI Expertise.

• You have a strong eye for building well-architected, responsive, and accessible React applications. You're familiar with modern React patterns — hooks, context, component composition — and you care about performance and user experience at the UI layer. Solid Data Skills. You have working experience with PostgreSQL (or similar relational databases) — writing queries, designing schemas, and thinking about data integrity and performance. A Builder's Curiosity. You love to explore, question, and refine.

You approach challenges by breaking them down, evaluating trade-offs, and finding better ways forward. You're energized by learning and growing your craft. Collaboration That Counts. You communicate with clarity and purpose.

You thrive in environments where engineering and product work closely together, and you value code reviews, feedback loops, and shared ownership as keys to building great software. What We Offer Salary Range. $130,000 – $150,000 CAD base salary. Flexible Work. A hybrid model; balancing collaboration and lifestyle flexibility. Comprehensive Benefits. Health, dental, and flexible spending accounts tailored to your needs. Time to Recharge. Vacation and sick days to help you rest, recharge, and stay well. Growth Investment. A continuous learning environment backed by a professional development budget. Inclusive by Nature. A values-driven workplace where diverse perspectives are celebrated.
