Senior Full-stack Web Developer

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.
