Full stack developer

We are seeking a dynamic, Senior Full Stack Software Engineer to join a dedicated innovation lab within a market-leading Canadian insurance and financial services corporation. In this role, you will drive the evolution and continuous improvement of a high-visibility Minimum Viable Product (MVP). You will bridge the gap between complex business requirements and modern technical architectures, building data management tools, enhancing test automation, and building out robust metrics dashboards. If you thrive in agile environments and enjoy cross-functional innovation, this is the perfect project for you.

Advantages
Cutting-Edge Ecosystem: Work within an R&D/Lab environment dedicated to modern tech stacks and high-impact internal tools.

Flexible Hybrid Model: Enjoy the ideal balance with 2 days per week onsite at our vibrant Downtown Montreal office and 3 days remote.

Long-Term Potential: Initial 6 to 12-month contract with strong possibilities for extension or permanent conversion.

Collaborative Culture: Join a forward-thinking, multidisciplinary team that values continuous learning, initiative, and creative experimentation.

Responsibilities
Full Stack Engineering: Design, build, and optimize scalable software components using a backend-focused stack (Java/Kotlin) paired with modern frontend frameworks.

Architecture & Code Quality: Formulate technical specifications, establish branching strategies, lead peer code reviews, and ensure clean, maintainable architecture.

Test Automation & CI/CD: Elevate existing automation frameworks (both UI and backend), integrate performance testing solutions, and seamlessly incorporate tests into modern CI/CD delivery pipelines.

Data & Observability: Architect data management components and create observability solutions (dashboards and monitoring tools) to provide real-time environment visibility.

Cross-Functional Alignment: Translate complex business objectives into concrete technical designs while mentoring team members on best engineering and quality practices.

Qualifications
Experience: 5 to 8 years of professional software development experience, ideally acquired within the insurance, banking, or fintech sectors.

Backend Mastery: Strong programming expertise in Java and Kotlin, alongside hands-on experience with API/backend testing utilities (e.g., Postman).

Frontend & Tooling: Proficient with TypeScript, React, and GraphQL, including experience with front-end testing tools like Cypress and patterns like Page Object Model (POM).

DevOps & Agile: Proven familiarity with Git, automated deployment tools (such as GitHub Actions), Agile/Scrum lifecycles, and a solid understanding of the full SDLC.

Communication & Work Rights: Excellent analytical, documentation, and interpersonal skills. Authorized to work in Canada.

Language Requirements: Bilingual proficiency in French and English.

Our client operates in Canada. The company takes all reasonable steps to limit the number of positions in Quebec that require knowledge of a language other than French, and only requires it when necessary and its existing bilingual employees are unable to perform these duties. Based on an assessment conducted by our client, it has been determined that this position requires candidates to be fluent in English (both spoken and written). In particular, this position will require the employee to interact with centralized internal departments (e.g., Operations / HR / Finance / Legal / Contracts / Sales) that support the organization in Canada and that do not speak French.

Summary
Location: Montreal, QC (Hybrid - 2 days onsite)

Duration: 6 to 12 months (High potential for extension/conversion)

Position Type: Contract (IT Consultant)

Tech Stack: Java, Kotlin, React, GraphQL, TypeScript, Cypress, GitHub Actions
