Diagrams got stale, decisions got lost, and nothing felt connected to reality.So we started building something better. It began as a side project, let us snowboard most days in Whistler for a season, and people kept using it…We got to nearly $1 M USD with just the founders before we hired.Today we’re a small, profitable team ($4.5 M+ CAD ARR) building a collaborative modelling tool for software architecture. We care about staying lean, shipping fast, having fun, and building something people actually love.How we work- We keep meetings to a minimum- We ship weekly- We work in small teams (usually 2 people) with clear ownership- We avoid over-engineering, but we care deeply about polish- We release early, get feedback, and refineThis is not a place to hide. You’ll own what you build.The roleYou’ll build across the entire product:- Frontend UI/UX (working closely with design)- Backend APIs and data models- Real-time systems (Web Sockets)- Infrastructure and migrations- Fixing, refining, and improving what already existsOur stack: Type Script, Node.Js, Vue, Pixi.Js, Tailwind, Cloud Run, Firestore, Web SocketsWhat “great” looks likeA great hire doesn’t wait to be told what to do.In your first couple of weeks, you’ll use the product, find something that feels off, and fix it.Not because it was assigned.



Because it bothered you.You’ll own meaningful features end-to-end. Examples:- Git-like workflows for diagramming- Import and data ingestion pipelines- Access controls for complex organizations- Data visualization across large architecturesYou’ll make things feel better, not just work.30 / 60 / 90 daysFirst 30 days- Get familiar with the product and codebase- Ship improvements to areas that feel “off”- Start contributing to real features60 days- Take ownership of a meaningful area of the product- Improve performance or usability in a noticeable way- Work across frontend + backend without hand-holding90 days- Own and ship a complex feature end-to-end- Contribute to solving harder problems like:- Access control for large organizations Managing deeply nested architecture models- Performance issues with highly connected systemsCurrent challenges- Changing model hierarchies (parents/levels) is complex and fragile- Large, highly connected models can impact real-time performance- Access permissions don’t scale well for large companies- LLM assisted architecture documentation and ideationIf those sound engaging, you’ll probably enjoy this.About youYou:- Have 6+ years of experience across both large companies and startups- Are strong in both frontend and backend- Have built things you’re genuinely proud of- Care deeply about how things look and feel,



not just that they work- Take ownership and don’t wait for permission- Are comfortable working across a large, evolving codebase- Can take feedback without ego and adjust quicklyYou’ve likely:- Built side projects just because something annoyed you- Worked across product, UX, and engineering boundaries- Shipped real features that people useProof of craft (required)You must show us something you’ve built.- Portfolio, live apps, screenshots - anything that shows off your skills- We care about how it feels to use, not just what it doesIf you can’t point to something you’ve built that feels great, this role isn’t for you.You’ll struggle here if- You rely heavily on AI without understanding fundamentals- You wait for direction instead of taking initiative- You blame others instead of owning problems- You lead with ego instead of curiosity- You need constant permission to move forwardAlso, if you don’t actually care about what you’re building, don’t apply.Bonus points- You’ve been a founder (even if it failed)- You come from a non-traditional background- You understand the limits of LLMs beyond surface-level use- You’ve spent time in a major tech hub and chose (or want) to work in CanadaLocation- North Vancouver (5 min from Lonsdale Quay)- 3 days in office (Tues-Thurs)- 2 days remote- Hybrid, not fully remote- Flexible location a couple of weeks a yearBenefitsStock optionsProfit sharingLearning budgetConference budgetAnnual retreatFlexible holidayHealth, dental, vision“Weiner” Wednesdays and free ice cubesInterview processScreening questions (AI answers are insta-deleted…)Intro chat (20 mins)Technical call (30 mins)In-person white-boarding session/meet the team (2 hours)Work trial (2 days min + paid)Reference checksOffer letter#J-18808-Ljbffr
