Senior Full-stack Web Developer
Description
What We're Building
Property Copilot is a compliance-first rental management platform serving Canadian landlords, property managers, and tenants, with an international expansion already in motion. We're building the infrastructure layer that the Canadian rental market is missing: identity verification, credit screening, digital leasing, and rent collection, all in one place.
This is a greenfield build. No legacy codebase. No inherited debt. You own the architecture from day one.
What You'll Own
You are the technical foundation of this company; setting the direction, making the calls, owning the outcomes, and building something that lasts. Specifically:
- Design and own the production architecture: cloud provider, services, data model, deployment strategy
- Pick the stack and defend it: we have a product brief, defined flows, and third-party integrations already scoped (Ondato KYC/AML, Equifax, payment infrastructure). You decide how to build it
- Infrastructure as code from day one: no manual provisioning, no snowflake servers
- Multi-tenant SaaS architecture designed for white-label deployment across jurisdictions
- CI/CD pipelines with branch protection, automated testing gates, staged rollouts, canary deploys, and rollback
- Feature flag system for controlled releases across environments (dev / staging / production)
- Compliance-aware data architecture: Canadian data residency, PIPEDA, PCMLTFA, PCI, SOC 2 alignment
- Scale path from zero to 100k+ property units without over-engineering for day one
- AI-augmented development workflows: you're expected to use every tool available (Cursor, Claude, Copilot) to build faster than a team twice your size
Some Integrations You'll be Building Around
- Ondato — KYC, KYB, AML/PEP screening
- Equifax + TransUnion — credit pulls surfaced in screening reports
- Payment infrastructure — PAD/EFT for rent collection, PCI-compliant card processing
- E-signature + PDF generation — contract creation and execution
- Transactional email — automated notification system across landlord, tenant, and property manager roles
The Opportunity
Property Copilot has early users in the Canadian market. The bigger opportunity in front of us is a set of enterprise partnerships that represent significant scale, the kind of distribution most early-stage startups spend years chasing. This is why we're building now and building fast.
We're angel-funded with a clear commercial path.
Who You'll Work With
You'll work directly with the founding team: CEO, COO, CPO, and CTPO. Small team, flat structure, everyone is hands-on. You won't be handed off to a middle manager or left to interpret a roadmap someone else built.
You'll be in the room where decisions get made.
You're The Right Person If
You've shipped production SaaS, not just deployed to it
- Cloud-native on AWS, GCP, or Azure etc. You've designed the system, not just maintained it
- You've built multi-tenant architectures with isolated data models and pluggable compliance variants
- You've handled regulated data: fintech, proptech, healthtech, or any domain where a breach has real consequences
You build with AI, not around it
- LLM tooling (Cursor, Claude, Codex) is a core part of how you work, not an experiment
- You've built internal workflows that let a small team punch above its headcount
- You know where AI-generated code introduces risk and you review accordingly
You make decisions and move
- You don't need consensus to pick a database or a deployment strategy
- You can explain your architectural decisions in plain language to non-technical founders
- You've been the first or only senior engineer at a company and you know what that actually means
You have the commitment this stage requires
- Early-stage is not a 9-to-5. We're not going to apologize for that
- You're obsessive about the product you're building, not just the code
- You treat this like it's your company because in meaningful ways, it will be
This Role Is Not For You If
- You need a team around you to do your best work
- You default to adding infrastructure rather than removing it
- You're uncomfortable being the final call on technical decisions
- You haven't shipped something real to real users in the last 2 years
- You want to hand off deployment and ops to someone else
Stack Guidance
We're not prescribing the stack, that's your job. What we know: managed services over custom infrastructure wherever possible. The rest is yours to own and defend.
