About this role

Article is seeking a Senior Full Stack Engineer to own end-to-end software solutions across their omni-channel furniture retail platform. You'd work across the entire stack—Vue.js and TypeScript on the frontend, Java for backend services, Python and dbt for data pipelines, and AWS infrastructure including DynamoDB and Kafka. The role involves designing and deploying customer-facing and internal applications, building scalable service architectures, and partnering with product and design teams to translate business needs into incremental releases.

This position suits someone with 5+ years of software engineering experience, proven backend work in Java, and hands-on familiarity with event-driven architectures and high-traffic eCommerce systems. You'd join a lean engineering organization structured around micro-squads with full-stack ownership—meaning autonomy to solve problems your way rather than working within rigid specializations. The team of 8 software engineers operates as part of a 30-person tech department, and you'd report to the Sr. Manager of Software Engineering.

Article offers a hybrid arrangement with three days per week in the Vancouver office. The role is full-time at a salary of $165,000–$175,000 CAD, with one permanent position and four one-year term positions currently available.
