About this role
Workstream is building HR, payroll, and hiring software specifically for the hourly workforce—a massive, underserved market of 2.7 billion workers. As a Staff Full Stack Engineer, you'd join a Series B company backed by top-tier VCs and already serving major brands like Burger King, KFC, and IHOP. You'd work on a growing product portfolio alongside engineers from leading tech companies and top universities, with a hybrid schedule requiring two days per week in the Vancouver office.
The role demands 8+ years of full-stack development experience with proficiency in Python, Java, PHP, or JavaScript. You'll need strong fundamentals in distributed systems design, database architecture (both SQL and NoSQL), caching layers, and cloud platforms like AWS. Test-driven development is central to how the team works, and you'll collaborate closely with product, engineering, and go-to-market teams to ship well-scoped features. Clear communication—verbal and written—matters as much as technical depth.
This is an early-stage opportunity to grow with a mission-driven company at a critical growth phase. Beyond the competitive salary ($140K–$170K USD) and equity, you'd get comprehensive health coverage, flexible PTO, and WeWork amenities. The role suits someone who's built scalable systems at scale and wants to apply that expertise to a problem affecting billions of workers globally.
