Full Stack Engineer (Mobile App)

Whimble • Full-time • Remote (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) • C$ 70,000 - C$ 100,000 / year • 4w ago

As a Full Stack Engineer, you'll work directly with the CEO and our first full-time engineer on end-to-end product development — from architecture to production. You'll have significant ownership over technical decisions while helping establish the engineering culture, systems, and practices that will support the company's growth.

This role combines:

High-leverage product engineering, and
Early-stage foundational work that wouldn’t exist in a larger company.

That means some weeks you’ll be designing core systems for our mobile app — and other weeks you’ll be setting up infrastructure, tightening security, or unblocking the team with practical, low-level work. If something technical blocks the company, it’s your team’s problem to solve.

This is a hands-on builder role, not a “ticket-taking” or purely abstract architecture position.
