At Jungle Scout, we are on a mission to empower entrepreneurs and brands to grow successful e-commerce businesses, and we provide the industry-leading data, powerful tools, and resources they need.

We’re growing and we are looking to add a Software Engineer to our fast-paced and customer-oriented team focusing on our Enterprise product, Jungle Scout Cobalt 2.0.

Jungle Scout Cobalt combines Amazon data – like pricing, inventory, ad spend, and more – with broader context like market share, shopping trends, competitive intelligence, and share of voice. All with built-in advertising automation for turning insights to action and a straightforward interface that illuminates strategies to multiply sales.

Where would this person be located? Great question! We’re a remote-first company and hiring this Software Engineer in Canada (excluding Québec).

What you will be doing:

• Design and build. First and foremost, you will be helping to design and build new web applications and microservices that are required, as well as creating new features on our existing applications.
• Make recommendations. You will play an active role in the way we make decisions around technologies to be used for new applications and improvements to existing applications
• Scale, maintain, and improve. As we continue to grow, you’ll anticipate challenges before they happen by maintaining existing codebases and system infrastructures, as well as enhancing the development, staging, and production environments of our applications.
• Participate and contribute. You’ll have an active hand in code reviews, as well as in project planning and management. You’ll also provide input for the ongoing improvement of engineering practices and procedures.
• Passionate mentor. We are firm believers in knowledge sharing and supporting team development. You will coach junior and intermediate developers on programming and infrastructure best practices.

Who you are:

• Full Stack Developer. This isn’t your first rodeo! You have been in the software engineering game a while and have full stack development experience. Your toolbelt includes Python, SQL, Django and React. Ruby and Big Data/Spark experience is a big plus!
• Problem-solver. You know how to take a systematic approach to debugging issues located in a single service. You are comfortable addressing technical problems with some level of complexity or ambiguity.
• You’re both autonomous & collaborative. You can independently execute small projects and regularly lead small projects/features to the end - you take pride in having ownership but at the same time, you know when to reach out for support from your teammates. At the same time, you are a strong communicator and can work collaboratively across teams.
• Customer Focus: Putting our customers first is at the core of everything we do. You understand the importance of delivering exceptional experiences to our users, and your dedication to meeting their needs and surpassing their expectations drives our commitment to excellence.
• Delivering Outcomes: Everything you do is outcome-focused. You are results-oriented and have a track record of delivering tangible outcomes. Your dedication to accomplishing goals efficiently and effectively contributes to your team’s overall success
• Remote-worker. You’re comfortable working with a remote team and familiar with the tools and technologies to make magic happen without having to schedule in-person meetings.

What you’ll get:

• The BEST team. You’ll work alongside the smartest, most passionate, and kindest humans day in and day out making work fun.

• Remote-first culture. Jungle Scout has been remote-first since day one. We believe team members should work from the place where they do their best work. Whether that's working from home, in office at one of our hubs, a co-working space.

• A growth culture! We have tons of opportunities for you to elevate your skills and take you to that next step; we are here to help you find the ones that matter most to you through exposure and training.

• Ability to make impact! Although it’s a highly collaborative culture, team members are empowered to work autonomously and take extreme ownership of their work. You'll have the opportunity to truly make a difference and impact our customers.

• Competitive compensation packages! We structure our compensation packages to reward our team members' contributions to our company's success - you’ll have a bonus tied to performance and will be invested into our long-term success with Equity.

• Flexible PTO. With our generous paid time off and recognition of local holidays, escape to the beach, recharge mentally, or give back through volunteering.

• Comprehensive Health Benefits & Retirement Program. We offer comprehensive healthcare and retirement matching plans for eligible employees.
