JavaScript Job Details

Are you ready to innovate? This past year has given us a renewed perspective on how we approach work, and the impact of remote work and, as a result, has highlighted the impact of reliable and scalable HR and payroll software.

Our Engineering team is growing, and we are looking for strong developers who are passionate about building highly scalable and robust systems. As a Senior Front End Developer in our HR pillar, you will be an integral part of the engineering team and be in a position to deliver value to our customers by shipping new features and helping our platform scale.

Who are we

Humi’s mission is to help organizations throughout Canada foster their greatest asset – their employees. Starting with a powerful yet intuitive HR, payroll, benefits, and insurance platform, Humi has established a leadership position as the only company addressing these needs in one place. With a potential reach spanning every business in Canada, and a platform that touches every employee at every business that uses it, Humi is reimagining the future of work.

Humi is backed by the same group that funded Slack, Carta, and more (Tribe Capital), the top value-based U.S. accelerator (Y-Combinator), and several of the world’s leading angel investors.

We’re hiring across Canada and are open to applicants who prefer to work remotely!

We are committed to building an inclusive and diverse workforce, representative of the communities we serve and beyond. We encourage, and are pleased to consider, applications from Indigenous peoples, racialized persons/persons of colour, women, persons with disabilities, LGBTQ2S+ persons, and others who contribute towards promoting innovative ideas and solutions.

  • Take full ownership of small features and quick wins within your squad, from scoping to implementation
  • Help more intermediate developers with code design and decision making
  • Contribute to the Engineering team's culture, processes, and best practices

In your first 90 days, you will take the initiative:

  • Start assuming more autonomy and finding small ways to practice ownership across the platform
  • Work closely with your Manager to explore goals for the rest of the year
  • Deep dive on other parts of the application outside of the squad's main responsibilities
