Staff Software Engineer - Backend at Agiloft

This role is designed for a heavyweight Backend Engineer with over 10 years of experience who is ready to transition into a high-impact leadership position. While the listing is categorized as mid-level, the "Staff" title and requirements clearly seek a strategic expert proficient in Java and SQL. The ideal candidate has a proven track record of architectural stewardship, having successfully led major refactoring and modernization efforts for large-scale, long-lived backend systems. Agiloft offers a fully remote environment for residents of Canada, emphasizing a healthy work-life balance through "no-questions-asked" wellness days and floating holidays. A unique aspect of this role is its "AI-Forward" mandate; you won't just use AI tools—you will architect platform components specifically to be "AI-friendly," enabling automated reasoning and faster iteration cycles. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have 10+ years of experience building scalable backend systems in Java. * Are an expert in SQL and have governed architecture for complex, high-traffic platforms. * Enjoy mentoring senior engineers and influencing technical roadmaps across multiple teams. * Are passionate about integrating AI-assisted development tools (like Copilot) to improve the SDLC.
