The Opportunity

Help lead one of DemandBridge’s biggest initiatives: completely modernizing an ERP by rebuilding it from the ground up. Within a lean, startup-like team, you’ll build the product using Java, Spring Boot, TypeScript, and React, contribute directly to architecture decisions, and integrate AI agents into development.

Location: Canada (remote)

The salary range for this role is 80,000 CAD–100,000 CAD per year. Final compensation will be determined based on experience and skills.

What You’ll Own

Develop the Product

• Design and develop backend services and REST APIs using Java and Spring Boot.
• Build TypeScript and React interfaces informed by user needs and feedback.
• Own features from initial design through production.
• Work directly with product and customers to turn requirements into practical software.

Shape the Architecture

• Contribute to architecture decisions with growth and long-term maintainability in mind.
• Establish and improve code review, testing, and deployment practices.
• Build a deep understanding of the product and become a trusted technical resource for the product owner.
• Take on increasing responsibility for technical decisions and the product’s development.

Improve Development With AI

• Use coding agents such as Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex daily, building on tools already integrated into the team’s development and testing workflow.
• Improve automation across testing, code reviews, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Evaluate new ways to use agents to support development while maintaining clear standards for code quality and reliability.
• Critically review generated code and take responsibility for the quality of what ships.

What We’re Looking For

• Three or more years of software development experience, including hands-on experience building products and delivering new features.
• Strong backend experience designing APIs, services, and data structures, in any language.
• Proficiency in TypeScript, React, SQL, and relational databases.
• Practical experience using AI agents to automate parts of your development work.
• Independence, curiosity, and clear communication: you investigate problems, propose solutions, and enjoy teamwork.

Strongly Preferred

• Java and Spring Boot experience, including Spring Data and Spring Security.
• Familiarity with PostgreSQL, clean architecture, CI/CD pipelines, and AWS.
• Prior startup experience.

Why DemandBridge?

• Growing ownership: deepen your expertise and take an increasing role in the product’s technical direction.
• Accelerate your learning: from backend development and architecture to AI agents and customer conversations, build your skills through hands-on exposure to the entire product.
• Visible influence: in a small team, your decisions shape the architecture, development practices, and user experience.
• Direct customer connection: understand customers’ needs and see how your work improves their daily operations.
